    One thing to keep in mind is that we don't know if Trump himself is under investigation. I'm not even certain, based on Comey's choice of words, whether any current Trump associates are being investigated or just people who were Trump associates at the time. What I'm getting at is that it may only be people like Manafort and Stone who are under investigation. There's no way to be sure for now.

    Not credible enough that I know of... But soon I believe you may see them all around :)

    It's beyond building a military base, we know Russian forces are in Afrin. I don't think this issue was deeply discussed and agreed on in Astana meetings. Convincing Russians is now much harder. At the end of the day, it's like playing with fire to make the lone wolf feel it has nothing to lose... No good.

    Some people think so. Yet all that the FBI or CIA has to do is to show these people, and they are substantial in number, some hard evidence. In fact, the main reason these people are suspicious of these Russian hacking claims is because no evidence has been shown. The hacking tool used to hack the DNC had Russian finger prints, on old software, available on the dark net. John McAfee, is an expert, and he says this means it was not Russia, for they are sophisticated and if someone in the Kremlin had used such software, he would have been found dead from suicide. So, something stinks about this, which a critical brain smells quickly. Assange says it was not Russia, his source and of course they brings claims that he is another Russian agent. No evidence, just claims..and claims are all that we have been given.

    Over the years we have found out we have been lied to by our own gov't. So when no evidence is given, many of us question the official story, given that we can tell faction in the US gov't want another cold war with Russia, except there is no good reason for that. They are no longer doing the communist revolution to destroy capitalism, are no longer an atheist nation, so critical thinkers see too much incoherence and something stinks. Then the black out in MSM of contrary voices, telling lies about RT, which the americans who work for RT dispute.

    When the FBI uses a hacking software as proof, and no one in their right mind thinks Russia is that stupid, they will not buy into what looks to be a ruse.

    Where do the inquires go next? and for the FBI? Oh that's an easy one. Right where they should have started in the first place. Cult Democrats.


    Democratic Lobbyist Bundlers Tied to Russian Interests.....

    "A number of top Democratic lobbyist bundlers, who together pulled in millions of dollars for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and donated generously to Democratic leaders, personally represent or work at firms that have represented Russian interests in recent years, according to a review of foreign agent registration filings."

    "Several powerful lobbyists who have pushed millions of dollars into Democratic coffers have ties to foreign banks and governments.".....snip~

    Putins mind is not understandable to me but whatever is happening is not meant to be pleasant for the United States as it has been known. He is doing much the same (in other ways) throughout the western world, most likely to return to the days of Czar,

    Then you voted for the wrong guy, given your obsession with Russia and putin. You must not have listened to what trump said about Russia and putin, and cast an uninformed vote? If I were Sherlock Holmes, you would have just thrown up a big red flag. My brain for some reason spots incoherence. Which is one reason this deal with trump's campaign and Russia smells to high heaven. Blame my 1950s education, I reckon. And if you just go back and remember how this deal with Russia began, it looks remarkable just like a CIA operation would look. Which began its life politically driven. Sorry, but no way in hell this can be ignored. When things do not add up, critical minds do not let that pass, unless that mind is corrupted by political bias. Not having voted for trump, but 3rd Party, my own mind is not corrupted, and my nose is not stopped up, and there is a smell here that stinks. Until that goes away, which hard evidence would clear up, my mind remains suspicious.

    Kasich was my guy too... Smart, experienced, and pro-Turkish... But little Marco was a bit clownish.

    "Germany fought russia, so that makes them mortal enemies." your guess is wrong , what Germany/USA do to Putins kleptocracy today is not a vendetta

    As a 53 year resident of California, I say that if this is fascism, bring it on. California is without a doubt the greatest place to live in the US. I have traveled and lived all over the U.S. California is definitely the garden spot. We have it all. The best wine, the best weed, the best women and a lifestyle beyond comparison. Also it is still the land of unlimited opportunity for those willing to go out there and give it a shot.
