Comey wiretap testimony/meets Congress

[Grooveriding]

Let's be clear on the actions they are accused of.
Hacking, and then releasing DNC and Podesta's Emails.

That's the full extent of it, yes?

Hacking and fake news are some of what they've mentioned. Done with the goal of interfering in the election to hurt Clinton and aid Trump. This is what they said.

 

[JSt0rm]

A supporter of former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and former acting CIA Director Michael Morell suggested there isn't evidence to believe that aides on President Trump's campaign team colluded with Russia to help Trump win the election, NBC reported Wednesday. The only reason why the sound bites and action lines are alive is because the DNC doesn't want to explain to the LIBERAL kook base that there was never any evidence..the whole thing was nothing more then a profound case of LIBERAL illusory thinking and mental masturbation. The DNC will continue to kick the can down the road for a while longer but the end of the road is near. Liberals got spoofed with fake news and fake expectations..

So then why is the fbi investigating right now? Will it all be a ploy by the dnc in the end?

I guess the way to figure out if this is going badly for Trump is to see if Fox News has the Comey testimony live and uninterrupted. Anyone watching Fox?

That's something people who don't watch Fox don't realize that they do, I'm sure there's much more important expose on Trump's plan to destroy ISIS story going on now, or anything other than those hearings.

Using our free press against us is really a brilliant move. Our strength is our freedom and turning it into a weakness is some serious Machiavellian shit.

Haha Spicy just said Paul Manafort had a minor role in campaign.

Wasn't he the Campaign Fucking Chairman?????

Pfffft... by the end of the day he will have been an adviser who had no access to any information or the candidate at any time.

I don't get why obvious Republicans are sooooooo concerned with how Democrats pick a candidate. Why do you care if answers were given to Hillary or votes were rigged or the deck was stacked against another candidate. You understand these are not elections correct?

Hell, if Spicy keeps talking there was no such person as Paul Manafort.

And Flynn was just a campaign volunteer. AHahhahaha. These people really think their supporters are stupid.

icbm doesnt understand much.

IGBT's partisan hackery knows no bounds. He'd rather align with Putin than with patriotic Americans.

Unfortunately they seem to be. Just look at their peeps here.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

icbm drops another shit bomb.

I'm giggling like a school girl at this.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Wait. Wasn't Manafort also heavily involved in the transition and advising Trump whom to select for each cabinet position too?

That and a persistent online campaign to spread anti-Clinton propaganda.

What's in the article has been affirmed numerous times by the IC.

Comey is giving lots of GLOMAR answers. If I were Trump or a member of his campaign, I'd be getting worried right now. Or more than I already was.

 

[Grooveriding]

That was pretty nicely done using the moment to strike down a lie Trump was trying to spread about them, claiming they said there was no effect on the election by Russia's interference, at the same time as they were testifying. The two of them went slack-jawed on how to handle that one.

I don't think a "neither confirm nor deny" response is necessarily incriminating. Comey has consistently refused to discuss details of the investigation because it is ongoing. All we can infer from this is that evidently the FBI felt there was sufficient reason to allocate department resources to this investigation, and that the investigation is not over. Meaning they haven't reached a point where they feel they have exhausted every lead. Any other inferences are just spin on either side.

Manafort was also responsible in getting the GOP platform on Ukraine weakened more in favor of Russia.

White House distancing themselves from PM. The can see the stink around him getting worse.

Indeed. I thought Comey and Rogers represented their respective departments well by avoiding the traps which could be used as ammunition by either side. In a highly politicized situation, discretion is vital to see justice done. I'm satisfied to know that allegations against Obama are recognized to have no basis and that an investigation of Russian involvement is ongoing including the discovery of parties involved regardless of status and the part they played.

The DN

Let's have a look here.

First, other news supplants older stories as events happen/evolve. Both Comey and Rogers stated that Russians were the responsible party today. Doubt is gone at this point therefore there is nothing to explain.

Regarding Obama, I don't know what Obama did or did not say, however it's painfully obvious that after an election one would have more latitude with regards to negotiations than before. Nothing in the above statement shows that "flexibility to negotiate" meant an easing of sanctions on Russia. Indeed we've seen it was not the case at all.

Any discussion of "frothing liberals" is specious. The morality of the DNC actors is irrelevant in the context of an investigation to determine the facts of the matter of law regarding foreign parties, which again are found to be Russians.

Your argument is not a strong one.

The DNC and their willing accomplices are going to keep feeding their partisan solders like yourself to keep the fake story alive. But not that long ago the possibility of a "Russian Hack" was completely dismissed by your obama:
During an interview with the Daily Show’s Trevor Noah, Barack Obama denounced the conspiracy theory that Russians tampered with the American voting process.

“We were frankly more concerned in the run up to the election to the possibilities of vote tampering, which we did not see evidence of,” he admitted. “And we’re confident that we can guard against.”

More then likely the information breach was the result of a internal DNC leak. As far as obama's whispered statement to the Russians,
"flexibility to negotiate"...would require a separate investigation to find out what was "negotiated" and what he possibly "signed off on " and did he have the legal authority...what did congress know about the obama's "secret" negotiations" with the Russians??

Did Comey just confirm some Republican groups were hacked and no documents were released? I'm in the car and may have misunderstood

*its 2:50

That was reported on already back before the election. The gop was also hacked and it wasnt released.
