It’s the Democrats who Collude with the Russians
American Thinker ^ | April 3, 2017 | Steve Baldwin and Scott S. Powell

Are those pushing the Trump/Russian collusion conspiracy living in Alice in Wonderland or what? Accepting this conspiracy narrative requires both the suspension of common sense and the collective amnesia about the history of Democrats’ actions that have earned favor from Soviet and Russian leadership over past decades and right up to the present.             Vladimir Putin is shrewd, calculating, and fairly predictable. If he were serious about influencing the outcome of the November 2016 U.S. presidential election, he would not have favored the relatively unknown and impulsive Donald Trump, who had no history of doing favors for Putin or Russia. It is far more likely Putin would have chosen to help Hillary Clinton -- the known, predictable, progressive candidate with a history of helping Russian interests.

The Clinton Foundation and the Clinton's themselves entered into many illegal arrangements with the Russians. So did member of Clinton's staff and other Democrats.

"Clinton’s campaign chairman, longtime Democrat operative John Podesta, essentially became a business partner with the Russian government when he joined the board of an energy company called Joule Unlimited, whose largest investor was a Russian government investment fund called Rusnano, an entity created in 2007 with connections to Putin. It has been alleged that Posdesta was working with this Russian-controlled fund at the same time he was advising Secretary of State Clinton.

In 2016, John Podesta’s brother, Tony, was paid $170,000 by the Russian Government to represent Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank, for the purpose of lobbying the Obama administration to end the sanctions imposed on Russia after its seizure of Crimea. Had Hillary won the presidential election, the Podestas would likely have played key roles in her administration."

There is proof of this illegal Democrat collusion. There is no proof whatsoever of any collusion by Trump.

The old magicians (and politicians) trick of distraction from what is really going on.

AND, they are deeply entrenched. Obama had eight years. Clinton was there first.

Trump may have been unknown and impulsive but one thing Russia couldn’t take a chance on was his pledge to build the oil pipeline and make it easier to drill for oil in The US since oil is Russia’s main source of revenue.

(Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal)

[snip]But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one. At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President ( Bill Clinton) and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.

There can't be an investigation unless the FBI gains access to the DNC computer server. That's the first piece of evidence that needs to be looked at. Taking the word of Crowd-strike isn't an option. I don't know why the republicans aren't demanding that server.
