I just can't wrap my head around the fact that when we go in and tinker elections in east Europe, buy off candidates through green cards, there is no problem. But as soon as someone else hacks us, the world is falling.
It's very simple, we go in and poke our nose around; there is bound to be blowback!!!

I mean of course we have a bigger problem when people do it to us than when we do it to them. We bomb people pretty frequently but you would hardly expect that if Libya came in and made a bombing run on Times Square we would just say 'well we did bomb them recently, I guess fair's fair!'.

Although now that I think of it they might be doing us a favor.

Explain how that works...

I met this guy personally
http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/20...ay-area-after-standing-up-to-president-putin/

he is now married/ dating his chief of staff and lives in the bay area. obviously he has State Dept connections and stayed in the US and got a green card too.

so basic concept is kids come to the US to study/work; get invested in the US. the cooks from the deep state approach the parents and pretty much blackmail them into divulging state secrets for the sake of their kids. A lot of the parents dont make that much money and dont want the cozy life of the kids to be turned upside down. This is a very common tactic. I cannot find any sources as of now. I will get back to you on that

All's fare in love and spying. We do the very same thing, all over the world. Extremely common to get academics turned. Please no moral mumbo jumbo.

So Roger Stone is now slamming the shit out of Sam Nunberg calling him a lying piece of shit. Mueller was waiting at the Boston airport for an associate of Stone asking about Stone's ties and behaviors.

Looks like the old Nixon knob slobber is getting his time in the barrel.

I'm really hoping that he turns out to be one of the biggest collaborators. I hope he rots in jail next to Manafort.

None of that explains "buy off candidates with green cards" which is just basic conspiracy theory bullshit. If you met Ponomarev then it was before he moved to Ukraine-

Ponomarev told The Daily Beast in April 2016 that he lived in Ukraine's capital Kiev full-time.[3] He has received a Ukrainian temporary residence permit.

It's all diversionary from the topic at hand, anyway, particularly your last paragraph.
