Russia Investigation Heating Up

[Neveragain]

The story is that a number of Russians tried to influence the election, which is a crime regardless of how many people they did or didn't influence.

The story continues that the President obstructed the investigation into that influence, which is also a crime regardless of whether he or anyone he employed or knew or saw or even heard of was involved in the crime whose investigation he obstructed.

At least Latrin is honest enough to admit that it is just a story.

Did Facebook commit treason knowing they helped the Russians? Is Twitter use now restricted to Americans only, or do we ban twitter because it is not American owned? I'm just a little confused as to where and when I can talk to friends from other countries and such, I wouldn't want to be influenced by the ideas of people from around the globe.

That ship has sailed.

It's not the crime it's the coverup.

Reasonable human beings were shunted to the side in favor of those two assholes.

The GOP should be more transparent. Like, say, the DNC.

I'm not being sarcastic or exaggerating when I say that they simply can't defend their positions. All political conversation devolves like this today. GOP type makes a bold declarative statement, you point him to evidence that disproves the statement, and they retreat into a protective cocoon of anger/insults/conspiracy theory/pouting

GOP has dumped their identity under Trump. No longer the party of fiscal responsibility or strong national defense. They've made a complete mockery of themselves.

The GOP should be more transparent. Like, say, the DNC.

Great example Richard. You can't say shit for a rebuttal so you go to Whataboutism.

The republicans and their politically allied are incapable of rationally defending their positions.

Rationally defending? Between You, Rheisha, the couch guy and Back we have been given 4 sets of numbers....make that 3 because enough and a lot are not numbers.

You have to prove something first, 13 Russians brainwashed Americans, is not proof, it's playing thought police.

If not for those dastardly Russians, people would have voted for who they really wanted! Soon you will be supporting registration for an interwebs security number for all users, just in case people from other countries are saying things you don't like.

If people shared spicy Russian troll meme's, are they now guilty of treason too?

If illegals were using the interwebs to say bad things too, does that mean they should be rounded up as well?

Do foreign journalists face prison time for printing stuff about American politics?

You're simply trolling for attention at this point.

Those are honest questions.

If people shared what was said by these amazing 13 Russian are they guilty of treason?

Is Facebook guilty of treason?

Do we ban Twitter, obviously it's over run with jihadists. By your justifications, Americans are just too fucking stupid to think for themselves.

Honest questions from someone that doesn't care about facts. Okay.

Honest questions from someone that doesn't care about facts. Okay.

What facts?

This is your case:

13 Russian nationals changed the minds of people who we know would have voted for Democrats. We know this because we are smarter than you and can read peoples minds. Fuck you, we are diving head first into 1984 because it was a really cool book.
