re: Mueller hires lawyer specializing in money laundering for Trump-Russia probe

I can already hear the liberals and Never Trumpers getting more and more nervous that Mueller and his buddies has nothing on Trump and they're just fleecing the federal government out of countless billable hours.

As already posted. Time magazine published that Putin’s Election Hacking Was About Hurting Clinton, Not Helping Trump. I will give you; that some MSM added that Putin wanted to help Trump, but it is simply not true. HRC interfered with Putin's election and Obama himself got the intelligence that Putin was targeting HRC but could not do anything about it.

The actions of Putin's intelligence services were not primarily concerned with personalities. Their goal was to get more Americans to buy into self-doubt and conspiracy theories about their own political institutions. They used many tools and threw their support behind many eccentric personalities in order to accomplish this: Jill Stein, Ron Paul, Glenn Greenwald, Alex Jones, Dana Rohrabacher, and yes, Donald Trump.

I just don't understand this whole party line of framing the issue as "Putin just wanted to hurt Hillary, so we shouldn't care." It's a mindblowingly vacuous argument.

Please. It was a sham election, and she called it a sham election. Good for her.

Exactly why I despised his presidency and called him the worst and most anti-American foreign policy President in U.S. history.

None of that excuses the Trump campaign for what they did, which is undeniably worse.

Have you seen evidence that the rest of the world hasn't? What did Trump do exactly? You have him tried and convicted it seems. What charges exactly?

Thats a weak argument. Was Israel a 'sham election' when Obama used tax payer money to interfere? Or how about when Obama and HRC tried to place the muslim brotherhood as duly elected in Cairo? A sad way of life in politics influencing elections. The democrats are just butthurt their fodder and fake reset button and HRC's interference in Putin's election came back to bite them in a tit for tat way.

If you really want to go here we could argue all day that HRCs election was a sham. And actually any GOPe v. the democrat is as well. SEE: Romney and McCain. They took all of the abuse and tactics as if they didn't care who won, the same with W... Because they all play for the same uniparty team. How can anyone with an inkling of intellectual honesty not see this?

ETA: name one GOP contender other than the current President that can actually win the rustbelt and PA. Add in the Pope's marxist politics of which the GOPe agrees with and they are doomed, no?

Nobody. The problem with Trump is that he is taking the party, and the conservative American tradition along with it, in exactly the wrong direction.

You have the flaky, Progressive left, led by people like Obama and Pope Francis, who want to regulate equality and break all distinctions made by the Holy Trinity of academia--race, class, and gender. Then you have the crazy right, filled with authoritarians who like strongmen and "brutal secular dictators" who want to close borders, rail against corporations and politicians, and play to cynical identity populism. They're both anti-freedom.

So here we get into something even more serious. The party does seem doomed in a way, but it's really not the party itself that's in trouble, so much as it is the American people. If there's one thing Breitbart gets right, it's in observing that "politics is downstream of culture." And right now, the popular culture of this country is very sick, and everybody wants to abandon our traditional morals and political ideals.

Americans are so cynical now that it seems like they want to abandon every standing establishment institution that our country once believed in. They don't believe in organized religion. They don't believe in any higher ideals. They fall all over themselves making arguments about much they support gay people and philanderers and Muhammad Ali and MLK. They supporting political trolling, because they think it's funny to watch everything burn. They pursue political goals not for their own merits, but because they think it will make them laugh if it hurts the feelings of the other side. They believe nothing is worth dying for, nothing is worth sacrificing for, and that nothing matters except making sure nobody tells them that what they're doing could be wrong. Just take it from some targeted group of rich "elites", and spread it around to the common people. It's basically the exact opposite sentiment from what Reagan spoke about in 1964.

If you want to oppose the godless Marxism of Pope Francis, then the way to that is to convince people that rules and order and tradition actually matter. That both poor people and rich people should hold themselves to higher standards. That the real enemy is people who believe in nothing and want to shakedown the elite, and that the real solution is to live simply and honorably, oppose enemies with war to preserve order, and otherwise to promote political liberty as a universal global aspiration, to let people live and trade and move freely.

who was it that helped the Russians target certain electoral demographics in a sophisticated way?

What sophistication are you referencing that virtually any Russian with rudimentary knowledge of our electoral system would not know?

But it's absolutely beyond plausibility at this point to suggest that Trump didn't realize that his own campaign was colluding with foreign intelligence agents from hostile adversaries to the U.S.

OK

If this is a witch hunt, Trump is wearing ruby slippers and Mueller is getting ready to drop the farmhouse

Mueller did he hired April Doss from Saul Ewing.
