This...

All the hand wringers not withstanding, accepting something says “ok, lets see if is true and lets do forensic analysis to validate it” Now, wheres the server so we can, otherwise it cannot be validated or accepted as fact

JMHO

So—A non-stop temper tantrum by the media, DIMS, and RINO/Never Trumpers caused PDJT to re-consider his remarks.

Going forward, expect daily non-stop temper tantrums by the media, DIMS, and RINO/Never Trumpers.

Still, the optics were damming.

No thanks to the back-stabbing Republicants.

Does anyone know what “evidence” there is that the Russians attempted to affect the outcome of the 2016 election?

Hacking the DNC Server, assuming they did it, doesn’t qualify as interfering in our election. It’s just old fashioned spying in the age of the Internet.

So what else do they have?

Anything?
Or Nothing.

Everybody vilifies Congress. People curse the presidents. The MSM slanders Trump 24/7.

American warriors, in the act of protecting the nation on the battlefield, are routinely slandered by the Left. Ditto policemen.

Obama, while president, could go overseas and, with his effeminate lisp, slander the nation and its entire history. Today he went overseas and slandered Trump.

But, the branch of government that throughout recorded history has been composed of people who are ruthless and work in secret — you better not say a word about them.

They are sacrosanct. Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Hayden, STRZOK, are sinless creatures. We must not even raise our gaze to meet theirs. We must only whisper around them. Comply. Submit.

Obviously, this sudden elevation of the intelligence services to near divinity is only a convenient ruse used by the Deep State to inoculate itself from any exposure.

I’m with you 100%.

We have been told that the Russians hacked the DNC Server.

That’s it. That’s all there is. But we have now been trained to believe that this hack is equivalent to “Interfering With Our Election”. What nonsense.

And worse, the Leftist goal is to morph the hack from simple spying to interference to collusion with the Russians.

Give me a break.

Just remember that reaganaut1 is still a #NeverTrumper after 2 years of Winning from President Trump.

As Nifster wrote to reaganut1:

You’re a putz

I'll bet reaganut1 is still wearing the underwear it soiled the night President Trump curb-stomped Felonia von Pantsuit.

Trump is involved in the opening gambit in his negotiations with Putin. He is saying and doing certain things in order to control the process to get the specific responses from Putin that he wants. But it’s way to early to say who the overall winner or loser is. And Trump wants to get what he wants, while at the same time making Putin feel like he won, and making Putin enjoy the process, so that the relationship between the two improves.

Spot On.

Keep sending your message to the Freepers. The MSM is never going to do it for you.

The media has made it impossible for Trump to lend credence to the first issue without a tacit admission that the second is true as well.

I agree about the conflation and that meddling isn't collusion, but it's a cop out to blame the media.

If Trump was secure enough to say yes, Russia meddled but that doesn't make my election illegitimate he could have moved past this stuff long ago.

Until today he didn't seem able to do that.

That’s right. And over the last few days, they used it to try and keep Trump from conducting foreign policy with Putin.

Accepted but not in agreement with. Accepted conditionally might have been a better way.

He accepted the report. What he did not say is whether he believes the report.

Can someone, ANYONE tell me just what exactly this “Russian meddling’’ was, particularly? What exactly were they supposed to have done?
