"It is unclear, however, whether Russian officials actually tried to directly influence Mr. Manafort and Mr. Flynn..."

[ForYourChildren]

Reuters ... Six paragraphs into the report on “18 undisclosed contacts” between Trump associates and Russian officials, the reader learns..

that those who familiar with the conversations see

“no evidence of wrongdoing or collusion between the campaign and Russia.”

[ForYourChildren]

Another article by NY SLIMES..

the tenth paragraph readers were informed of an important fact:

“American officials have said that they have so far found no proof of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.”

In another NY SLIMES story..

Six paragraphs in:

“Mr. Brennan acknowledged that he did not know whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russian operatives and said the contacts might have been benign.”

[mountainlion]

They are telling lies often to make people believe the lie so they can impeach Trump

[SharpRightTurn]

Fake news, discredited conspiracy theories.

But, hey, it’s the NY Slimes. What should we expect?

The also discussed what to have for lunch!

What utter propagarbage!

[PGR88]

I have read most of the NY Times and WaPo articles.

Everything starts with a salacious charge, and then is supported by “anonymous sources,” “is reported to have said,” “confidential reports indicate” - and then some policy wonks and politicians drawing conclusions from these very broad assumptions.

Its complete crap.

The New York Slimes strikes again, with all their slimy glory!

Fake News!

[Telepathic Intruder]

Sheer speculation. Bottom line: nothing illegal took place if anything did at all take place. No evidence means report it as if true.

If my kid grew up today he would ask me to check for Russia under his bed, rather than the “Boogie man”.

Dr Stephen Cohen: What Is Up With Russian Hysteria

Seems to me that this 'Russians are coming' business started right after...

When Russia shared intelligence on Boston Bombers with FBI, THAT was ‘normal,’ but because it’s Trump …

After that it was all 'Russian Hysteria' from the Olympics to picking on Maria Sharapova.
Ten bucks on Sharapova

I’m discouraged. I emailed both my senators demanding that they stand up for Trump and ignore this ridiculous accusation, and they both replied with mealy-mouthed letters about how things are serious and must be investigated.

[DoughtyOne]

The Leftist media's most recent bombshells. They were all duds!

[ironman]

FBI and media got pwned by the Ruskies and don’t even know it.

[DoughtyOne]

Another Leftist trap for Trump and company...

It sounds like diplomats, not spies, simply talking about doing their jobs. That’s what diplomats are supposed to, make friends and try to influence the government of the country they are dealing with.
