what are those?

I am assuming he got a preview of hacked stuff


You sure you want to go down that rabbit hole? The far left has just as many conspiracy theorist as the right does.

Twitter is a good place to start.

Search on Twitter for Claude Taylor. He'll get you started on Trump/Russia worst case scenario stuff. He's actually been right on a few scoops lately (the FBI raid yesterday and some other stuff) but he's mostly just a far left Alex Jones.

I'm in no way saying I believe any of the far left loon stuff but if you want to read it for yourself then have at it.

if obama crafted the iran deal in exchange for helping win the 2012 election, would you have an issue with that?

I think if you could paint a scenario where Russia somehow now has influence over Trump that would be a break point for me.



You mean, for example, if the only part of the Republican Platform the Trump Campaign insisted on altering dealt with US response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

The only people that care are the ones that don't want to talk about the "content" of the hacks.

It's like speeding and being mad at the cop for hiding.

So stupid.

by phishing Podesta?

I mean we are using scary language here, but Podesta got phished.

I think Podesta is more dangerous than Russia.

UK spied Trump and we are cool with that no?




You understand that falls under the legal category of identity theft right?

This is your hypothetical scenario by the way.

If the president actively was made aware of the hack and its nature and purpose, then decided to coordinate the use of that material with that foreign government, it would be a serious issue.

Or do you think that is a functional and healthy way to maintain a democracy? Welcoming foreign powers to conduct espionage and then collaborate with candidates to disperse that information strategically and without consequence?

So if Nancy Pelosi publicly called for the Chinese to hack Trump, they hacked Trump and gave Nancy all of Trump's emails which she then used to destroy his Presidency, you'd be okay with it?

this is what hardcore Trump supporters either are too stupid or too unwilling to see... they only see the Rep vs. Dems, and the Rep won.... but they don't see the possible HUGE implications of what may have happened for the future of our election process....

it's really sad and pathetic... but considering they are usually baby back bitches, it's not all that surprising...

The same ones that are 110% convinced there is massive voter fraud and we must do all we can to make voting as difficult as possible.

He changed his stance on Crimea shortly after hiring Manafort (more favorable toward Russia). If there was any sort of quid pro quo with the Wikileaks deal, that's incredibly problematic. He potentially altered US foreign policy in exchange for xyz - & it doesn't matter what the xyz is, it's treason.

Of course he never thought he'd actually win ....(and neither did any of you because I offered a lifetime ban bet several times and had no takers) so it probably seems like free press and a good way to "stick it to the establishment", and build his brand at the time. He just didn't plan on winning.
