all signs point to the FBI having substantial info on the Russian connection

I have no interest in throwing you red meat
Unlike those who chanted lock her up, I am merely watching with amazement how far this continues to unfold, how truly stupid this admin is and how much Trump deciples will twist up to explain this crap. I note no one seems to want to explain why the Ukraine support statements were removed from the HOP platform at convention?

Read below and tell us again why voters at the Republican Convention should approve bellicose pro-Ukrainian platform provisions against Russia. Do you think a single one of those delegates has any concept of the machinations or history between those nations? Do you?

And this is only the cliff-notes to Ukrainian/ Russian affairs. You do realize we had an agreement in place to assist the Ukrainians against aggression by Russia if they divested of the large stash of Soviet nuclear weaponry they had in their country when the USSR cratered, and when Russia invaded and took the Crimea we welched on the deal under Obama...right? Same welching after when Russia sent troops and supplied the Russian-speaking rebels in the East of Ukrain in their rebellion. Should the Republicans poke the Rooskies in the eye with a stick at their convention? Is that your question? Is that your position, or are merely trying to draw attention to Trump's fired past campaign director as somehow Trump's guru on selling out to Russia?

I think you have enough savvy to know we do not have enough leverage to engage the Russians next door in Central Europe nor the desire either, so that leaves us with the conclusion you trying to tar Trump with a FIRED ex-employee's shady actions, if that is what they were, but then you will resort to any expedient ruse to attack President Trump, right?

Omg,,, "why does it matter?"

Seriously, is there anything Trump could do that wouldn't illicit that response from you?

When he does something that I consider "really stupid" I will call him out on it. As it stands the snowflake liberals are calling him out for everything, and I do mean everything, so I will let some of the smaller items slide. ON the same note I think the question you asked me should be asked of you as well.

When does some hint of sanity return? Does it mean the end of the world when he takes a breath?

“After the Russian reset, the Russians invaded Ukraine and took over Crimea. The small and bullying leader of Russia is now dictating terms to the United States,” Pence said. “When Donald Trump's president, we are not going to have the kind of posture in the world that has Russia invading Crimea and Ukraine … We will go back to the days of peace through strength.”

Mike Pence, vp debate

[wacojoe]

And your desire for our Ukrainian-Russian policy is...?

And I think this and many other answers to the question are good responses to TX's stance here. https://www.quora.com/How-is-it-Demo...7a7&srid=h8MbR

Reagan did it bigger, better and more of it, only now with Trump we have an equal coming on the horizon.

Trump isn't fit to shine Reagan's boots. He will never fill them.

Please, Fred, if you're going to quote the words of someone else, at least acknowledge it......Ben

Hey 2T, I am all ears, we are all looking for the evidence that would move all of this past the he said/ she said stage or anonymous sources ( heard from my brother's, uncle's, 2nd cousin while they were drinking at his aunt's best friends house and the next door neighbor whispered it over the fence) hearsay.

We have all known each other around here for years and even if Fred came out and said he heard I was a booger eating moron, without proof it holds no water. I could come back and say I do not even know how to pick my nose and we would have the same credibility as, anonymous sources. Now if he had a picture of us sitting at a table with my finger buried to the second knuckle and green on my lips, you might have something. They have no proof of Trump doing anything, and in fact the left does not need any proof, they are so knee-jerk that just a casual rumor could set all of it off.

Proof, it is part of our Constitution. Put up or shut up liberals.

In Comey's testimony, he said FBI investigators often laughed at reports from the MSM based on "anonymous sources" (leakers) because they were so out to lunch. Asked specifically about a notorious 2/14/17 article in the NYTs, which largely started the "Russian Connection" narrative, he said, “in the main, it was not true.” confronted with that accusation, the New York Times responded that they have been unable to locate their unnamed sources. Wait for an anonymous response once they conjure up the mystery people again.
