Sources with links to the intelligence community say it is believed that Carter Page went to Moscow in early July carrying with him a pre-recorded tape of Donald Trump offering to change American policy if he were to be elected, to make it more favorable to Putin. In exchange, Page was authorized directly by Trump to request the help of the Russian government in hacking the election."

And how would that being any different than Barry being caught on tape telling the Russians, that if he is re-elected he can be more flexible with them??????

Maybe because he was president at the time.

How is a candidate making an offer to a foreign government in exchange for their illegal assistance in the election ...
different from
... a sitting president telling a foreign leader that he can't make a deal at the moment.

If you can't tell, you really should stay away from a board talking about politics.

Clearly, it is very different, are you kidding? #1.Barry, was the POTUS at the time of that tape and had every right to negotiate with a foreign power. Yeah, it's not 100% upfront, but it's not illegal. #2.This current story seems ridiculous, but following the argument, allegedly the exchange in question would ultimately result in the Russians agreeing to manipulate the U.S. elections so that Donald Duck could win.

No argument can equate what Barrack did to what Donald allegedly did. Trump was allegedly trying to use a hostile power to manipulate an election and Obama was simply negotiating as POTUS. They are so far apart from each other they are not even close.

This is what is wrong with this country, people, and it seems especially Republicans, are so colored by their political leanings they no longer care about truth. Your argument is a good example, but here is an even better one.

Percentage who supported bombing Syria:

Year | dem | GOP
2013 | 37% | 22%
2017 | 38% | 86%

The only difference between 2013 and 2017 was the president at the time. Dems felt pretty much the same way no matter who was president, whereas the GOP, a different story. I was an independent up until this year.
Now it is very clear who really cares about truth and who does not.
