Russia did meddle - but was it enough to change the results??

(PS - I would like to see Trump cancel the meeting, probably unexpected for a Trumpster like me )

With what we know I think so and wouldn’t be surprised if the true scope is even wider. As we’ve discussed Trump won by a very narrow margin.

Comey reopening the investigaton had a big impact also. The FBI really did a terrible job of rigging the election.

Russian hackers had dirt on the Republican National Committee but never released it, according to a new report. A senior administration official said, “We now have high confidence that they hacked the D.N.C. and the R.N.C., and conspicuously released no documents” from the Republicans,

hacks into the Republican committee took place in the spring, at the same time emails from the Democratic National Committee were stolen by hackers thought to be connected to Russian

this is another area that smell fishy I have a hard time thinking the RNC was just better at cybersecurity then the DNC


Trump says Russians were unable to hack the Republican National Committee

But intel states Trumps campaign wasn't targeted ? lets call it odd

I would say we have moved passed "enough to change the results?? "

not sure thats quantifiable,, they clearly didn't stuff ballot boxes

But if the Trump campaign actively sought Russian help in discrediting Clinton which seems to have happen...

Russian officials began to target email addresses associated with Hillary Clinton’s personal and campaign offices “on or around” the same day Donald Trump called on Russia to find emails that were missing from her personal server, according to a new indictment from Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

That has always been the bigger issue and the GOP has brushed this aside as opposition research... but they see the steel dossier in a completely different light .. and think 2 FBI agents texts some how discredit the muller investigation... show some crazy desperation

Strzok’s The suggestion that I, in some dark chamber somewhere in the F.B.I., would somehow cast aside all of these procedures, all of these safeguards, and somehow be able to do this is astounding to me. It simply couldn’t happen. And the proposition that this is going on, that it might occur anywhere in the F.B.I., deeply corrodes what the F.B.I. is in this society, the effectiveness of their mission, and it is deeply destructive.

What makes you think it was a Joke ..... it appears they did release them after he asked....

Trump declared as "fake news" his criticism of May in an early Friday interview in The Sun, even though the tabloid released a recording of the session.



Whats he going to tell the American people after his meeting with Just him and Putin and 2 translators ... seeing he is so Truthful even with a full recording ..
