So who wasn't spied on last year? And who isn't leaking unmasked names?

From Putin’s perspective, Hillary interfered in Russian elections, used NGO’s and State Dept personnel to aid and abet a coup that ousted Ukraine’s democratically elected President Yanukovich (a Russian puppet who was honest by Clinton standards...), left Putin the choice of engineering a civil war and partitioning Ukraine, or letting Ukraine slip into the EU/NATO orbit and losing its Black Sea naval bases (all of which he would consider an existential threat to Russia), then punished Russia with economic sanctions, then accepted bribes via the CGI, Bill and the Podestas to undo the sanctions, but welched. She also worked to promote Islamists in the Middle East, against Russia’s desire to combat the jihadi onslaught that is another major threat to Russia.

Trump was the devil the Russians didn’t know, and they could expect to benefit from his rookie mistakes, domestic opposition, etc. I expect they consider Hillary Clinton to be an incompetent, power mad criminal, and would have preferred almost anyone be President except her. Maybe I am projecting.

This can be put to rest pretty easily - if other candidates were surveilled, then the Russia story is BS.

I imagine the Russians and everyone else on Earth spies on anyone who becomes a serious Presidential candidate.

Odd that they had so much evidence of “collusion to influence an election with a foreign government”, which would be very illegal, and yet they did nothing until months after the election was won. Hmmmmmmmmm. Are the law enforcement agencies not much into law enforcement, and wanted Hillary to be “cheated” out of her coronation?? Or maybe there wasn’t actually anything there to base a case upon? Which seems more likely, hm?

Muslim countries supported Obama. So what?

The issue isn’t if Russia wanted Trump to win.

The issue is did Trump and or his advisors collude with Russia to win?

There is absolutely no evidence Trump colluded with the Russians
to win.

Agreed! The timeline is a joke. More importantly this narrative has been run into the ground ad nauseum. So if they have evidence, what is it, where is it, and what does it say? It’s time to sh!t or get off the pot . . .

Hey Triple...if they were trying to help Trump WIN then they failed miserably since he lost popular vote by millions!!! This whole idea of Russian help for Trump defies all LOGIC, COMMON SENSE, and REASON...the three things you have to lose in order to become a Democrat!!

It seems Trump may have to Nuke Moscow in attempts to convince the liberal media machine that he is not in bed with Putin.

There is no “Fake news” here. The MSM and the Left(one and the same) are attempting to move the goalpost. From collusion, which they admit there is no evidence. To Russia’s attempt to influence.

If there were evidence of collusion you can bet it would be out by now. This is Obama’s government attempt to gain cover for the spying on our President.
