--- Sorry for the bait title >_>.
I haven't had a chance to look into these claims myself and get to the bottom of it but if anyone has more information to share please do. Back Story: Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide When Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James B. Comey all went to see Donald Trump together during the presidential transition, they told him conclusively that they had “captured Putin’s specific instructions on the operation” to hack the 2016 presidential election, according to a report in The Washington Post. The intel bosses were worried that he would explode but Trump remained calm during the carefully choreographed meeting. “He was affable, courteous, complimentary,” Clapper told the Post. Comey stayed behind afterward to tell the president-elect about the controversial Steele dossier, however, and that private meeting may have been responsible for the animosity that would eventually lead to Trump firing the director of the FBI. https://www.thedailybeast.com/report-cia-captured-putins-specific-instructions-to-hack-the-2016-election https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/world/national-security/donald-trump-pursues-vladimir-putin-russian-election-hacking/?utm_term=.21fe50283919&wpisrc=nl_popup&wpmm=1 Claim: There's a PBS documentary about the election that mentioned this. When the Obama administration found out, i believe in October, they were trying to figure out how to handle since Obama did not want to seem as influencing an election (pro Clinton). They held a meeting with a bipartisan leadership to share IC findings with them (Schummer, McConnell and the like). Obama wanted to come out together with the info to the press, but McConnell shut him down and threatened him that if he did, the entire Repbulican Congress would be on every news outlet blasting him for influencing an election. FBI or CIA Director Brennan (I forget which agency) tried to argue with McConnel that this wasnt a Democrat issue but a national security issue and he too was shut down by McConnell. So, if you are wondering why Republicans are now trying to bash Mueller (a fellow R appointed by Bush and Obama, unanimously approved by both sides) its because they know whats coming, and they dont want people to realize that they shut down Obama and the IC before the election, even after facts were presented. They dont mention McConnell in the read out but if you watch the documentary they call him out by name. Documentary is called Putin's revenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pWALA6vgoY&feature=youtu.be https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/facing-a-russian-cyber-attack-obama-officials-struggled-to-respond/ Haven't watched the documentary yet so I don't know how much of it is worth believing. But if true I think these allegations are very serious. Essentially McConnell decided a change in leadership was more important then the integrity of the election itself despite the heads of the CIA and FBI advising the issue. |

You know, that doesn't really surprise me. The Republicans are always acting as though they are immune to breaking the law while accusing everyone else of being law breakers. I'll check out this documentary.

Can we get him, McCain, and Hillary all as a bundle package then send them to jail? Jeb originally funded foreign spies to build the pizzagate dossier, McCain picked up up then Hillary finished paying foreign agents to interference in our elections.
Time to clean up the swamp? |

For a while, the "swamp" has been around, but it has been quiet. It would bubble up now and again, but for the most part, the ground felt solid and that is what mattered to people. Then Trump burst in, reeking to high heaven. Now it is hard to ignore. The streets are overflowing with garbage and even Febreeze can't fuck with that smell. Just because the government likes to keep its dirty laundry indoors doesn't mean that Trump is any more clean when he flies his skidmarks for all the world to see. The only way in which Trump may actually "drain the swamp" is by making it so outrageously bad that finally the people force the government to do something (starting with getting rid of all the garbage Trump dragged into DC). Hot damn this is an awful metaphor. |
What even is this thread?

Hot damn this is an awful metaphor. Destabilizing entire regions, giving away free guns to drug cartels, training and arming ISIS, selling off 1/5th of our uranium supply to a country that politicians were pretending to be strongly against, covering up pedophiles and rapists in congress, covering up the FBI being used as a political tool, losing billions of dollars to who knows where, and much more is considered solid ground? What can you walk on water Jesus? |
