I've read a lot about this story; I'm not sure what I'm missing. If I'm a web search away, care to give me a LMGTFY?

  Basically we're looking at Trump being connected to Russian mafia for all his financing as well as Putin bribing him with 19% stake in the Russian state oil company for removing sanctions, as well as assisting with his campaign by hacking into the Podesta emails, sorta like how there were Watergate DNC office burglars. Did you want all this in writing from Trump and notarized that he did this? Because that's not how it works. His job is to say he didn't do this.

    I thought we're looking at Hillary being connected to Saudi Arabia for her financing as well as giving Russia 20% of U.S. uranium in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation, as well as Podesta ties to a Russian entity called Rusnano, and how Obama used a slush fund to move money to leftist hate groups.

      This is not an adult response.

        Why? Because it doesn't fit your world view and what the media is feeding to you? The left is throwing a temper tantrum, at the same time hand waving away any possible wrongdoing by their members.

        What you're doing right now fits my worldview like a nice pair of gloves.

        Because you're deflecting from the topic. If you can't discuss Trump without deflecting to Hillary, you're not acting in good faith and having a real discussion. Not to mention that you're repeating claims that's been disproved and cleared.

        Then lets discuss Trump without deflecting to unproven and debunked Russian claims. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_elections#Links_between_the_Trump_campaign_and_Russian_officials https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_20... Former Acting CIA Director Michael Morell has stated that he has seen no evidence of collusions between Trump and the Kremlin. "On the question of the Trump campaign conspiring with the Russians here, there is smoke, but there is no fire, at all," Morell said.[156] James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence under President Obama, said there was no evidence of any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives as of January 2017 when the intelligence community issued its report on the subject.[157] Here are the facts of today: Trump was elected President of the United States on November 9th, 2016 The Dow Jones is up 2800+, since Nov 9th. Trump has issued 19 Executive Orders, 16 Presidential memoranda, 11 Presidential proclamations, and 1 Presidential notice.

        > Here are the facts of today: None of those three facts are remotely relevant to whether or not Trump colluded with Russians, you are again being partisan and even mentioning those unrelated facts proves you're too partisan to have a real discussion. And smoke is more than enough to justify a proper investigation.
    - mozumder 10y ago
      Right. That's why government already investigated this and cleared her. Hillary Clinton appreciates your support and making it clear that Trump is the problem now. Let's now focus on Trump, since he is the government official that is being investigated for corruption now. What other problems do you think Trump will show?
      - dr_ick 10y ago
        I think this will continue to show what it has from the beginning: The Democrats can't handle losing an election they thought they had in the bag. So they are going to throw a fit and look for a scapegoat. All the while shifting more and more to the regressive left, abandoning the hardworking blue collar Americans in the middle. There is a reason the Rust Belt voted Trump, and it wasn't Russia.

There's certainly plenty of stuff that's been written about supposed Trump-Russia links, much of it bizarre, contradictory, lacking in evidence, and even verifiably false but still widely believed anyway. Secret communications with Russia via a server in Trump Tower that looked remarkably like hotel junk emails from a server in a data center on the other side of the country from there, bizarre claims involving prostitutes paid to piss on hotel beds, liftings of sanctions and pro-Russian changes to the Republican platform that didn't happen (but few saw or cared about the debunkings)...
