The Trump/Russia connection was a ruse. A pretext for gathering information on Trump to help defeat him in the general. Have to walk this back to the original surveillance authorization then move forward. Big picture folks. Big picture.
I think we knew it was a ruse as soon as it started. It just did not make sense. We were saying here on FR that the Dems/Obama administration/MSM thought they could get away with crimes and illegalities because they assumed Hillary would win, months ago.
No one expected Trump to be President or Mr. Sessions to be AG, NO ONE. There is going to be a massive swamp draining in the next month or so, IMHO. Wish I was teaching PoliSci right now. 80 posted on 3/5/2017 5:22:18 PM by madison10 [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 72 | View Replies | Report Abuse]
It has been opined by some here that all the Russia stuff was payback against Trump when Hillary won the presidency. They were going to use it to ruin him. But Hillary didn’t win. So they recycled it to delegitimize him.. One problem: with Trump winning it means he and his National Security people had access to records compiled during the Obama presidency. Including NSA access logs.
The libs are still using the playbook that treats Republicans as stupid, feckless and compliant. Some Republicans still are. Trump isn’t. And he will only accept the best out of his people. And to him the best means “fight back!” And so they are. And Democrats will keep failing miserably until they realize the playing field has changed.
