Jobs. They need an enemy that they can "spy" on. If we dont have to put resources to Russia thats a significant amount of decreased funding.

Kremlin - how many?

Associates of the Kremlin?

How many of those were Flynn?

How many calls to people with Russian ties did Hillary's people have in the last six months of 2016? Just for a baseline.

So why is this just now coming out if it is so incriminating? Reason - agenda. Concealing more fuel for more smoke.

I would love to hear answers to these questions.

Maybe the wrong battle is D vs. R. It should be the people vs. "deep state". The deep state just uses either the D or R as a proxy of convenience to forward their agenda. They are loyal to their agenda (whatever that is...probably MIC spending) not necessarily loyal to party or country.

If the contacts were illegal, the dems would have used it to sink Trump before the election. This is nothing butt fodder for morons.

No. It's not. It's only important that they're undisclosed contacts if there's collusion. Otherwise it's still a nothingburger.

So the ENTIRE Trump campaign PLACED OR RECEIVED an average of 2.5 calls or emails PER MONTH on ANY SUBJECT with ANYONE affiliated directly or indirectly with the Russians. 

That is some damn efficient collusion. 


I'd seriously feel more confident in the Trump Admin if they did collude that efficiently. That's a level of competence I can trust.

Well, Trump would be an irresponsible (future) POTUS if he did not start developing relationships with a big player in World Politics like Russia. Duh!

"undisclosed"....what, he's supposed to publish each conversation.

The whole 'Russian' thing was created to cover Obama's/Intel Community 'deep state operatives' "wiretapping" of the Trump Campaign. There is the real 'Watergate'. We'll see just how honest Mueller is; likely as honest as the "above reproach" Comey.

Here is another quote from that article:

2) Who is doing the leaking? Are they connected to Obama? Is it Obama himself?



The Priebus GOPe wing is doing the leaking. Its becoming obvious that they are openly working to force Trump from power so that Pence can be prez.
