How many of you think the Trump campaign coordinated with the Russians?

As did the Republican party.

I think the intelligence agencies have some information and again tRump is trying to discredit these agencies. I really don't think the Democrats are going to be focused on this issue cause their will be many issues for them to deal with. The ACA will be number one, but watch out for Ryan and McConnell They are up to their eyeballs in guilt and treasonous acts.

... 4 years or another 2?!

Dems can get cheated out of office until the end of time if they're allowed to cheat over and over again

If/when the CIA makes their info public. Although my guess is the CIA is a few steps ahead of trupmt and will leak info through other sources.

Democrats are smart to make their fights about the issues, not the personality.

then they might not want to play their entire hand, because doing so would give away details about their operations that they don't want out there.

I believe there was some sort of collusion within whatchamacallit's campaign and the Russians. They have him by the short hairs. It all has to do with his LLC or whatever you want to call it and his Russian property. He is upside down.

Sons talked about Russian loans, and Not many in US.
DT camp staff said they had talked to Putin, or at least his staff.
Win win win for Putin. 1. He gets rid of Hillary, who would continue to call him out, and refuse to be his stooge. 2. He has DT in his hand, and he must oblige. 3. If DT gives him backlash, Putin spills the beans, and the US looks as stupid as the DT voters are.

knows it benefits him to stay on their good side because of various reasons that could be from dealing with his debts. something they might have on him etc.

but i think maybe Manafort, Flynn or some other figures could have more of a direct relationship. and all of these combined know how to deal with trump from just manipulating him by saying good things about him to knowing things about him.

He has such a lack of filter that if he knows the truth he will find a way to brag about it.

I believe from that point on Trump had his own proverbial red phone.


I also believe he is neck deep in debt to them.


Sadly, I don't think the dems can prove a thing.

Probably Manafort if I had to make a guess.

It's not the Dems that will have the proof. It's the CIA and FBI.

Remember this intriguing tidbit rom the NY Times (which has gotten very little play in the fawning and deferential press)

This article is worth close re-reading. Hard questions are clearly being asked at the FBI and the CIA about Trump and the Ruskies. I suspect (or at least hope) that the report they release will contain some bombshells that may rock our politics to the core.

We still have voter suppression by the Republicans, who simply will go to any length to seize power. Cross Check, and voter ID laws are but two examples. The Trump cabal's collaboration with the Russian government is something the U.S. populace can not fully understand without sufficient evidence. I think we're all waiting. I cannot see how Trump could have won this election without some malfeasance going on.

without it the voter suppression would have been enough to tilt the election.

had a direct line to some powerful higher-ups in Russia. These people close to Trump know how to manipulate him into doing their bidding.

I doubt the Democrats have incontrovertible truth. I hope they do, but I'm notconfident.

If even 1 of his trolls had a Russkie contact in their roladex- TREASON.

..into some vote tallying systems. I don't put anything pass Putin. Never forget that he was the leader of the KGB (Russia's CIA)

hurts? Last time that happened? Maybe . . . FDR?

I don't believe that democrats have proof but they need to figure out how to deal with the new age republican. They will lie, cheat, and do most anything to remain in power including fighting democrats at the polls with voter suppression.

And I think we will learn of it soon. CIA knows that Russia Hacked RNC but decided not to release what it found.




Why is nobody talking about the hack of the RNC? I'm sure the NYT isn't making this one up.

That is the problem. If Trump had been forced to release his tax returns we would have a much better idea of the extent of his dealings in Russia. The fact that he has people around him who have had extensive financial dealings in Russia is not reassuring.

We still don't know what happened with the DNC emails. The intelligence agencies insist that it was Russian hackers; Assange denies it, and a former UK ambassador claims that he got the emails from an inside source. I want to see some evidence, damn it, not a bunch of conflicting assertions by people who cannot or will not provide evidence to support their claims.

so it will remain a question in my mind of the depth of the coordination. He has sang praises of Putin so he has encouraged the thought Putin interfered in the normal process.

Podesta did too, but since Harry Reid sees the Intelligence, that's good enough for me.

Consider the prohibited coordination between a campaign and a SuperPAC. What would be valuable would be coordination along the lines of "We think Ohio's in the bag but Virginia's a lost cause, so you should direct your spending to Florida" or "Our polls tell us that a lot of swing voters think climate change is a real problem, so don't touch that issue, it's a loser for us, you should instead emphasize attacking Clinton's character."

In contrast to a SuperPAC, the Russians weren't engaging in any activities of that type. The allegations I've seen are that the Russians hacked emails and released information that would damage Clinton. They wouldn't have needed any explicit directions from the Trump campaign to tell them what to do.

The other side of coordination would be a statement like "Help us beat Clinton and we'll remember your help after January 20." This, too, would be unnecessary. The Russians would know, without being told anything explicit, that they'd have a friend in the White House if Trump won.

The Manafort connection early on is a big red flag.

It is out and out treason.

He's been laying out the 'Russian connect the dots to Trump'..

Russia has been wanting to groom tRump for a very long time well since 2000?, I can't remember where I read it, but putin wanted a Manchurian candidate and he got one. Maybe that explains why President Obama and putin did not see eye to eye, President Obama did not give him an inch. But now pootie has his lap dog and the USA is out of the way.
