n June 14, 2016, the Washington Post reported that Russian hackers had broken into the Democratic National Committees files and gained access to its research on Donald Trump. A political world already numbed by Trumps astonishing rise barely took notice. News reports quoted experts who suggested the Russians merely wanted more information about Trump to inform their foreign-policy dealings. By that point, Russia was already broadcasting its strong preference for Trump through the media. Yet when news of the hacking broke, nobody raised the faintest suspicions that Russia wished to alter the outcome of the election, let alone that Trump or anybody connected with him might have been in cahoots with a foreign power. It was a third-rate cyberburglary. Nothing to see here.
The unfolding of the Russia scandal has been like walking into a dark cavern. Every step reveals that the cave runs deeper than we thought, and after each one, as we wonder how far it goes, our imaginations are circumscribed by the steps we have already taken. The cavern might go just a little farther, we presume, but probably not much farther. And since trying to discern the size and shape of the scandal is an exercise in uncertainty, we focus our attention on the most likely outcome, which is that the story goes a little deeper than what we have already discovered. Say, that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort told their candidate about the meeting they held at Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer after they were promised dirt on Hillary Clinton; and that Trump and Kushner have some shady Russian investments; and that some of Trumps advisers made some promises about lifting sanctions.
But what if thats wrong? What if were still standing closer to the mouth of the cave than the end?
What if Trump is a secret honey badger Hitler clone wot is made out of titanium?
FER REELZ, MAN. THIS STUFF IS HUGH AND SERIES!
These people are nucking futz.
Yinz guys get paid to print NEWS. Not “plausible theories”.
How about when Trump told Merkle not to be so dependent on Russian oil and buy from us?
Is that part of the collusion or does it directly contradict the LEFT’s lies?
If you look at Trump’s actions towards Russia, it directly contradicts the LEFT’s lies so they ignore them.
More fake news
Oxxxx* to russkie envoy: “I’ll have a lot more flexibility after the election.” Lib stream media? MEH! Sounds like a signal to the ruskkies to meddle in that election to me. But, MEH!
*Yeah, I don’t spell it out anymore.
But everyone knows that the meeting was private so Putin could update the software in the chip emplanted in Trump’s brain. Standard maintenance.
Yes, and an America with a booming economy and strengthened military plays right into Russia’s hands. /s
A plausible theory ...
“June 14, 2016, the Washington Post reported that Russian hackers had broken into the Democratic National Committees files and gained access to its research on Donald Trump.” The very first sentence is a lie about “hacking”. There was no hacking. It was a thumb drive by an insider, That has been repeatedly proven over and over ant yet they cant prove the contrary because they dont have the DNC hard drives ( destroyed mysteriously in June of 2016) and and “images” could have been modified and we can’t compare to the source. No charges were filed for tampering with and destroying evidence sought by the FBI. But they have zero proof of the base premise.
It really angers me that Trump:
Gave Russia up to 20% of our uranium, for over a hundred million for his family’s foundation.
Kept Top Secret government documents on his unsecured personal server against federal law.
Transmitted top secret documents to his assistant Huma.
Used funds from his family foundation to pay for family events.
Wrestled control of the Haitian relief effort, and either didn’t send all the funds along the way, or gave kush projects to his cronies. The Haitians are very angry with him about that.
Was paid off via speaking fees for anywhere from $250k to $500k for one hour speeches.
Canvassed domestic and foreign concerns to offer his wife the same deal.
Canvassed foreign and domestic governments and businesses to donate massive funds to his family foundation.
Went to Washington, D. C. a penniless individual by his own admission, and purchased a $2.85 million dollar home when he left office, again claiming to be completely broke.
Made over $230 million in the following 15 years, about half of which were for speaking engagements lasting an hour or so.
Well, it would, but this was all done by Hillary and the Mutt.
They won’t let go, because it’s all they have keeping them from jumping off a cliff. It’s their last hope to explain Trump’s win. If they had to face the truth they would take a long run and leap off the nearest mountain.
If Trump won because of Trump, then the left’s dream falls apart, and they will never turn this country into a third world hell hole and life is not worth living for them.
This author is a kook. He suspects that Trump was turned by the Russians during a business trip in the Eighties. He fails to show similar curiosity about Bill Clintons mysterious visit to (Soviet) Moscow as a student eader of the draft dodgers in 1968. He also ignores Barry Obamas many unexplained visits to the charming tourist destination known as Pakistan.
Did Trump's "handler" tell him pressure Germany to stop the purchase of Russian Natural Gas?
Did his "handler" offer to make Trump look good by refusing to back Iran in their efforts to stage near the Israel border?
Did his "handler" suggest that the U.S. develop LNG supplies to ship to Europe, to undermine Europe dependence on Russian Natural Gas?
Like a ripe watermelon splitting?
Here's the real world evidence:
- Russian/Syrian use of chemical weapons against civilians:
"Red line" Obama does nothing. Trump bombs the crap out of their chemical weapon facilities.
- US weapons for Ukrainian to defend against Russian invasion:
Obama denies them. Trump OKs $90 billion worth.
- Missile defense shield against Russia for now free nations of Eastern Europe:
Obama scraps the program. Trumps re-initiates the program.
- Germans demand US pay NATO tab to defend them from Russia, while they build German-Russian pipeline - enriching Russia and causing German dependence on the Russia:
Obama keeps his mouth shut and does nothing. Trump confront & cautions Germany publicly at NATO conference.
Not forgetting the old "Uranium One" deal Obama/Hillary gave Russia.
But perhaps today's Democrats & Anti-Trump RINOs are beyond "real world evidence. Don't forget...
"Neurotics build castles in the sand and psychotics live in them."
Oh, it’s not just a “plausible theory.” It’s “A plausible theory of mind-boggling collusion.”
There wasn’t enough room in the headline field.
This is a deep dive into abnormal psychology.
I don’t see how this possibly can’t qualify as full-blown paranoia.
This whole thing was a Russian operation. Our FBI etc was working with the Russian government to subvert our elections. They both wanted to damage Trump, frame Trump, whatever in case he was elected. That’s honestly what I think for many reasons.
