Let's assume Russia interferes with our elections. They do and we mess with theirs.

I am assuming Trump folks may have gotten email info early. If so is that a broken law?

I'm not even sure how the left is even claiming Russia interfered in the election anymore. Where do they stand on this today?

It doesn't matter if he technically broke the law or not. The agenda is to sow distrust of him within the population, trying to get voters to turn against him.

The law says that if you have no evidence of Russian involvement, and since there's no evidence of Russian involvement there is certainly no evidence of Trump/Russia collusion, you can't just go about implying there is something for political gain.

The law says you actually have to have reasonable cause.

There is only ONE law which was broken:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_(United_States_law)

Seth Rich exposed democratic party's UNDEMOCRATIC rigging, and he was murdered by Democratic Party thugs.

I think they'll go after some underlings, for some minor disclosure issues, but if they would have anything on Trump, and collusion, it would be out there, i.e. Trump is clean. I don't even think Russia thought he could win, TBH, and rather tried to just weaken Clinton, if at all. I think the Dem strategy is to get one of his underlings to turn on Trump with he said/ she said stuff, and then the Dems think they will have some narrative next election, other than Russia, Russia, Russia....

Agreed

I suspect Russia didn't care who won. More want to stir distrust. Basically they are winning I don't trust any of them.

There was so much effort to deceive the public with misinformation from the left and their media cucks that I think they actually started to believe it.

Not entirely sure. If any linkages are established then he will more than likely face impeachment. Love to see the angst of the opposition and how they now follow the letter of the law. Was amazing how they ignored it during the investigation of Secretary Clinton.

Bottom line, if he colluded with the Russians then he should be impeached.

Yeah, Putin was quaking in fear at the thought of another reset button.



Nobody on the left can grasp the thought that maybe Putin is clever enough to let people think he is for the candidate he is against.

Impeachment for what though?

Nixon paid operative to go into Watergate.

Clinton had just sold them a huge Uranium holding in North America and took those bribes through the Clinton Foundation to do it...doubt Russia was worried about her...

I could not cite any particular statute or precedent. I would vote to impeach solely because he has lost the trust of the American people. Again, that is a poorly framed argument that would not stand up to any degree of legal scrutiny. I am just giving my (poorly informed) opinion.

The DNC colluded to gain political favor in their own party. If it is some how shown Mr Trump himself what? new about it. Helped obtain information? Gave them the password? Showed them how to do phishing? The ones who should be in court due to previous investigations are still running amuck with no sense of guilt for their own actions. This is due to total incompetence which is now being dealt with.

If you do anything contemporaneous or even years before any US Presidential election cycle in which the Democrat candidate loses and that which the entire Congress of the US has already done and continues to do (i.e., meet with Russian officials or Russian representatives or Russian people, appear on Russian media, travel to Russia, discuss trade or any geopolitical matter with Russia or any of its representatives, think of Russia, say the word 'Russia', or watch the James Bond movie From Russia With Love) and are a Republican, you are guilty of high-treason and should be summarily executed, or at least wholly discredited, along with your entire family and close supporters.

Fair enough?

This has been the goal since the election ended.

Why is it always a "new narrative"? Why don't they just try a viable candidate next time?
