Trump owns Russia

This is the single most comprehensive takedown of the Russian COLUSION fraud I've read. Thankfully it appears to be coming to an end, but I expect the remarkable effectiveness of this utterly baseless campaign to deligitimize a presidency will be studied for years to come.

I (and anyone with a functioning brain) can say with 99.9% confidence that absolutely nothing will come of the "COLUSION" narrative. Even people like Van Jones are conceding as such. But hope springs eternal - now it's on to "obstruction of justice!"

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

The irony of the "peaceful transition of power" outrage that allegedly dq'd trump from being president might be the goat.

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

That certainly is one irony.

Another irony is that it has now come to light as a result of this investigation that the Obama Admin did as much to "obstruct justice" (not really), if not more so, by pressuring Comey to back off Hillary Clinton.

Another irony is that if anyone "colluded" with Russia (not really) it was Obama who knew full well about Russian attempts to influence the election but said nothing about it because he didn't want to screw up Hillary's easy victory (not to mention him promising the Russian PM on a hot mic he'd have greater flexibility to bend over further after his 2016 election - can you even imagine the media conniptions if Trump had said that?).

Never a shortage of irony with liberals.

I'm shocked, you guys.

A tantalizing new report from Shane Harris of the Wall Street Journal gives the strongest indication yet that COLUSION may have occurred — or was at least attempted — between supporters of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russian hackers who targeted Democrats’ emails.

The effort, described on the record to Harris by Smith (the 81-year old man died a week and a half after their interview), entailed outreach to several hacker groups, including at least two that Smith believed to be Russian-tied, to see if they had hacked the emails and could release them.

For fucks sake chum, you mailed it in on this one.  The story is based around a dying old man that wanted to find Hilary's deleted emails.

Vox making a trump colluded with russia story out of a wsj real news story is very lol

[chum1]

From WSJ:

The operation Mr. Smith described is consistent with information that has been examined by U.S. investigators probing Russian interference in the elections.

Those investigators have examined reports from intelligence agencies that describe Russian hackers discussing how to obtain emails from Mrs. Clinton’s server and then transmit them to Mr. Flynn via an intermediary, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the intelligence.

Flynn was Trump's advisor at the time.

[sonofdaxjones]

Who is the intermediary? Wikileaks (Wikileaks:  The bell of the DNC ball back in 2008, now, not so much)?

Billions a year on snooping, Cybering, hacking, creating malware, spyware, viruses. 

Now just completely flummoxed as to whether some people were talking to Russian hackers. 

[steve dave]

amaze

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

I think they nailed him this time. Post inauguration advisor time travels to conspire with wikileaks to release authentic emails fished from fucktards to hijack the election. It's all coming together. Amaze

[sonofdaxjones]

What's more amaze.

Is that people actually believe that an apparatus that has massive data centers (that use more power than small cities), can listen in on the cellphone conversations of European heads of state (just an example), can scoop up terabits of information every second etc etc etc.

Just doesn't have any clue if some private yet extremely high profile citizens were in cahoots with the Russians and seemingly are completely bamboozled by some Russian hackers. 

[Dugout DickStone]

I'm also concerned how those same entities can't tell if Obama tapped trumps phones.

Why would they?  They would be the ones to do it.  Try to follow along.  Don't get why it's such a stretch considering what we already know.

Sunday Morning talk show circuit had Susie Rice saying all SEVENTEEN intelligence agencies were investigating Russian meddling.   But still, just can't figure it all out.

My impression is that they are figuring it out.

Okay

Okay

And I have no idea why you would think that they are not.

I have no idea why you think that a $100 billion dollar a year intelligence apparatus shouldn't have already known over a year ago.

Again, either our country is completely wasting its money on a highly ineffective intelligence enterprise.  Or this is a concentrated effort of subterfuge, delegitimization and undermining.

Probably the deep deep state slowing it down.

Tenets of conspiracy theory. Okay, now I get it.

It's a legitimate question. 

What's also a legitimate question/statement is that if all of this is to believed.  That the Russians are effectively meddling (because meddling in and of itself should be understood) in our political process.  Then it would appear they're using our massive DHS monolith against us and/or DHS is extremely ineffective and bloated. 

But it's laughable to think that it's taken this long to "investigate". 

[star seed 7]

this is definitely a concentrated effort of subterfuge, delegitimization and undermining

[The Big Train]

Because Trump told him so.

BEcause Trump makes them hand over the information?
