Russia Investigation Heating Up

1) Let's see- his campaign manager takes the role for free. His previous job- helping Putin install a puppet leader in the Ukraine.

2) His campaign manager and deputy campaign manager were in constant contact with Russian Intelligence during the election

3) There's literally an email to Don Jr saying "The Russian government wants to help you get elected and has dirt on your opponent", and Don Jr is like "Yeah that sounds amazing!"

4) Russia put a lot of resources behind getting Trump elected, and Trump tried to lift sanctions that were created to punish Russia for election meddling.

5) His good friend Roger stone was in touch with Assange, who was working with a Russian intelligence officer to disseminate the hacked DNC/Podesta emails

6) His data operation was run by an organization that hired a Russian professor who was receiving Russian government grants to build it out

7) Several members of his campaign were contacted by people representing Russia's interests, and yet Trump didn't once contact the FBI- which is exactly what they told him to do.

8) One of his major foreign policy advisers was someone who was suspected by the FBI of being a Russian asset- in part because he magically found himself really anti-US and pro-Moscow in his speeches and because hew as regularly meeting with Russian government officials

9) His National Security adviser was lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials

10) He has fired or forced out almost every single person who was overseeing an investigation into Russia (Rosenstein is literally the only person left)


(Seriously this could go on and on)

Meanwhile:

1) Despite knowing for a fact that Russia was meddling in the election to help him out, he spent over a year trying to convince the electorate that Russia was NOT responsible for that meddling- turning on his own Intelligence Community to take Putin's word. ("He said he didn't do it, and I trust him!" Remember that?)

2) The FIRST thing he did when he got into office was to try to lift all Russian sanctions- which is exactly what Russia wanted. He asked absolutely nothing in return (it's almost like he already got something...)

3) He became the first US Presidential candidate in decades to campaign against NATO- something every Putin-backed candidate does

4) He abjectly refuses to ever say anything negative about Putin- even when he is actively attacking our resource systems and infiltrating our voter registration records. Putin stands as the only person he has ever refrained from attacking (except Stormy Daniels- who has an outstanding court case against him that would be lost if he said anything bad about her)

4b) He wouldn't even criticize Putin when he showed a simulation of Russia dropping a nuclear bomb on Florida

5) He invited Russian government officials into the Oval Office (without telling anyone in the US) and told them he fired Comey to take the heat off of him and then shared top, TOP secret information with them

6) He complained bitterly about the Congressional Russian Sanctions Bill and only signed because it had a veto-proof majority


At this point- I would LOVE to hear another explanation for all of this aside from: Trump and Russia colluded to get Trump into office.

Seriously. Let's hear it.

Seriously, not a single one of those "facts" is evidence the Trump Administration colluded with the Russian government.

I DO hope Mueller has more than this... otherwise, let's shut it down and move on.

Some sites are reporting that Trump's approval rating is at 50% today; higher than Obama's at this point in the previous presidency.

Russian bots are artificially inflating his numbers.

No way. Hillary's approval ratings are 51% then!

Yup Rasmussen (the most conservative polling site) has him pegged at 50%. Job approval is also up across the board, higher than Obamas!

I was looking at this. Seems like his support is fairly steady, but nothing to crow about.

The fact is Obama knew of Russian meddling but did nothing, especially to help butt buddy Hillary. Why? Because even then Obama knew from the massive US Intelligence apparatus under his command that there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

If there was serious collusion then why didn’t Obama step-in and sound the alarm???


Exactly. Because there was nothing.

Trolls gonna troll.

You're retarded.

Can you imagine what it would be if he wasn't such a douchebag?

It's not surprising really, that extra bump on the paycheck stub is noticeable. Almost as if people would rather decide what to do with their money than have time4fun spend it for them.
