So dozens of public servants with decades in the public eye, as well as lifelong political operatives, all of a sudden decide to engage in a coordinated effort to conspire with the Russians in order to protect incriminating evidence from leaking that may have damaged the personal and financial reputation of Donald J TRUMP? Meanwhile, this was all happening when TRUMP was given a 0% chance of winning and getting trounced in the polls?

Fake news.

Apparently, yes. And not only that, but Hillary was such a strong candidate (and Trump so weak) that the email revelations HAD to be the thing that kept Hillary from winning.

Have there been any polls that found that the released emails were the deciding factor in people voting for Trump or against Hillary? I remember when the dumps were coming out, very little was interesting or damaging. Even the pizza thing sounded more like a conspiracy theory than anything concrete.

I don't even think the media knows what their own narrative is anymore. They are just grasping any controversy they can.

So why can't Trump come out and say this exact same thing at the press conference or on Facebook live? that's what I don't understand.

I'm not saying I believe an ounce of it - i'm just frustrated because Trump never lets people beat him up like this.... why is he sitting back and taking it - it's so fricking annoying

I suspect he and Sessions are concocting a plan to go after these subversives and are just keeping quiet for now.

Yeah, and the overblown response is only reinforcing it. More importantly, the response had morphed into defenses against narratives that wasn't even presented. The media puts out a story, and the response has let it the narrative get more dramatic.

The OP is a prime example.

I agree. It's time to take the gloves of with MITCH!

Get his people in place and then he can move forward.

the facts set the narrative. I was just surprised as everyone when Trump openly asked for Russian assistance in his election bid.

The funniest part is, Sessions only became the media's latest "Russian double agent" after attempts to paint him as a racist were thwarted when it was revealed that he was recently honored by the naacp for excellence in civic and human rights.
