It's Official, Trump's Team Full Contact with Russian Intelligence.

[Machismo]

"Officials emphasized that communications between campaign staff and representatives of foreign governments are not unusual. However, these communications stood out to investigators due to the frequency and the level of the Trump advisers involved. Investigators have not reached a judgment on the intent of those conversations."

Aaaaand it's nothing.

Not according to intelligence officials.

Only if you ignore everything we know about Russia's actions during the election.

[Felya]

So why were private US citizens having their phone calls recorded?

A Russian diplomat is a US citizen?

Not according to intelligence officials.

Yes, according to officials. They said they haven't judged the material. They said they merely looked into it due to the frequency and level of the campaign people. There's no indication of anything criminal.

They clearly thought it was something, because they reported on it.

It's time for an independent special investigator, let's get to the bottom of it. Surely that is what you want, right?

[Skroe]

Donald Trump must resign.

"And it's nothing" *Points to a statement that says "We haven't reached a judgement" for evidence* Words have meanings....Learn them.

Bring it on trumpkin. You'll get droned by a bunch of nerds, sitting at their desks, eating domino's and sipping mountain dew.

I get the feeling that most of these trumpkins that are so quick to threaten armed intervention on them libtards are more Elmer Fudd than Rambo. I'm sure a significant portion of them would just end up shooting themselves before they pose a danger to anyone else.

Just no.

We are not talking about contacts between bureaucrats, but contacts by Trump's team with Russia's spy agencies. That is a very very different kettle of fish.

[Pickynerd]

Fun fact: Reality isn't fake news just because you don't like it..... be rational.

Clinton - email servers we had Trump and supporters saying lock her up, on evidence obtained from WIKILEAKS via RUSSIA.
Trump and co - direct interaction with Russian intelligence, on evidence obtained from US government officials.

If this is fake news, then you have to define the thing that lost Clinton the election as fake news then too.

It is fake news, if it were true, he'd be done already, wouldn't be a "okay when we get to it" kind of situation.

[Felya]

Yes, according to officials. They said they haven't judged the material. They said they merely looked into it due to the frequency and level of the campaign people. There's no indication of anything criminal.

Well, no... there is nothing criminal about frequently contacting Russia with high level campaign people... nope it's not illegal... yep, if Trump chooses to bend over to Russia because his advisors tell him to, nothing wrong with that.

[Shadowmelded]

Donald Trump must resign.

Pence makes Clinton Bernie VP and then resigns in a year or something. The dream's back on!

Did you even read the quote I posted? They singled out the communications because of frequency and to who(high level members of the campaign), but as of yet have made no judgments as to the intent of the communications. They also said it isn't unusual for foreign entities to be in touch with presidential campaigns. They've also had this information since December.

Obama knew about it and didn't act on it. Trump knew about it and only now is acting on it by firing Flynn. It's nothing.

You mean it wouldn't be the same thing he's done for the last year? Why would it change now?

Like I said, have an independent special prosecutor, question all those involved, and get to the bottom of it. You want the truth, don't you?

[Putin-Chan]

Donald Trump must resign.

He would rather die than have an ounce of humility.

[Shadowmelded]

Not spy agencies.

[alexw]

Donald Trump must resign.

Oh no no no. That will allow the republicans in congress to more or less escape intact.

This needs to go the distance with every little nook and cranny exposed to the light of disclosure and investigation.

Obama knew about this in December. Didn't do anything with it. If it was such a smoking gun, he would have acted on it immediately.
