Cohen's plea agreement makes clear that the deal they (Cohen and others, not Trump personally) tried to arrange was a licensing of Trump name to put on a tower built by Russian engineers and a financed by a Russian bank. Trump's claim he had no business deal is 100% truthful. He did not invest and he received no money. They were trading on Trump's name, trying to license his name not asking him to develop or finance the deal.
Russian's hacked the DNC, I don't believe it. But she omits reports that there were also attempts to hack the RNC servers, but those hacks failed. There is a legitimate argument that if Russia tried to hack the DNC they would also hack the RNC. It's silly to think they would blindly support any candidate without trying to dig into the data of the other. Even if they did back Trump, which defies all logic (Putin would support the candidate who was predictable, eg. Clinton, whom he had given oodles of money and had deceived many times by exploiting her avarice and lack of attention to the national interests). One of the left's major argumentative weaknesses on this investigation, aside from the lack of any evidence and pretext, is their obliviousness to what was actually happening beyond their narrow field of vision. They are too busy playing the victim to even acknowledge that what happened is the result of their own foibles and errors, greed, internal strife et al, and not some plot involving Trump and Putin. The evidence points to collusion between Clinton and many others, not to Trump but on that I am preaching to the choir here.
I saw a speech by VP Pence recently where he made a case that China is the bigger problem for USA. So much irony in how the left now make Russia the bogieman, and embrace the FBI and CIA. Could you imagine the left hailing the CIA and FBI as heroes even a decade ago? We could get a lot more done with Russia, who have a lot more in common with and important to Europe, and it is a geopolitical mistake to push them into the arms of China. But this is what the left is doing.
FakeNewsMSM can’t stop the fake narrative cos the real narrative might take hold.
bury the MSM.
Yes, but one step at a time. The NYT still thinks that myseterious Russian spies were working with Trump. They refuse to believe the fact that Mifsud and Halper worked with "western intellgence". Halper's job was to entrap Page and Papadop and Mifsud's job was to entrap Papadop. The sole connections that those dipwads had to Russia was the people that they were using as part of their entrapment. Who directed them is still a little unclear but the orders probably came through Hakluyt.
