Trump team collusion with Russia an 'open question,' says Clinton aide
Reuters ^ | December 18, 2016 | David Morgan

A top aide to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign said on Sunday it was an "open question" whether President-elect Donald Trump's advisers colluded with Russia to hack into Democratic Party emails to try to sway the Nov. 8 election.

Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said there was evidence that Trump associates had contact with a Russian intelligence official and the website Wikileaks before U.S. intelligence agencies accused Russia of being behind computer attacks of Democratic emails, including Podesta's.

"It's very much unknown whether there was collusion. I think Russian diplomats have said post-election that they were talking to the Trump campaign," Podesta told NBC's "Meet the Press" program.

"Not what Mr. Trump knew, but what did 'Trump Inc' know and when did they know it? Were they in touch with the Russians? I think those are still open questions," he added....

At this point, I am half surprised Obama didn’t try to void the election results. Maybe that is still coming. Not much would surprise me.

Apparently John’s Spirit Cooking didn’t have the desired effect! He needs to find a new witch, and perhaps get some more pizza!

If there was ever any question, we now know that the Clintons need to be indicted and imprisoned for their crimes or they will keep on trying to subvert the country.

.....but what did 'Trump Inc' know and when did they know it?

Interestingly he's paraphrasing "The Hag" herself during Watergate hearings.
(Before she was fired)

They are like dogs chasing a cars tail pipe at this point in time. They have to see which direction the car is going first. They will wait to see the electoral colleges vote tally, before deciding which direction to go. They thought the targeted vote fraud (ex. Detroit Michigan), would win the electoral college, but we’re worried if their popular vote fraud (ex. California illegal Mexicans), would lose the popular vote. They needed both to have the gravitas to implement their programs intended to permanently eliminate all opposition.

We're not fully transformed. He's going to be the organizer-in-chief. He already said as much. It will be non-stop sedition from here on out.

I still have not heard any specific allegations with regards to Russian Hacking and the election, nor has any evidence been put forward. It appears that everything is revolving around info from an anonymous source leaked to Clinton Campaign PR Firm.

So what exactly are we supposed to be upset at??

And how indignant did Podesta get when the Chinese were giving the Clintons millions during the Clinton years?

And how indignant did he get when:

The Saudis gave millions? Today I saw an estimate of $300 million.

Obummer was getting millions in very odd amounts that one would not find in the ordinary donation from an American, leading us to believe that the peculiar amounts were due to the exchange rates on foreign money.

Trump needs to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillar, the foundation and Podesta. The time to be nice is over. These spoke balls need to be brought to justice.

Another one of these: The seriousness of the charge.

No evidence, but the allegation is spread throughout the media.
