The latest revelations in the Russia saga should refocus our attention on a critical period during the 2016 presidential campaign. I’m talking about the seven weeks or so that began in June 2016, when Donald Trump Jr. planned the infamous Trump Tower meeting with Russians, and ended in late July, with GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump publicly calling on Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails.
What we now know is this. During much of that period, the Trump Organization was secretly pursuing a business deal in Russia that required Kremlin approval — even though the most senior members of Trump’s own campaign, and possibly Trump himself, knew at the time that Russia was waging an attack designed to sabotage our democracy on Trump’s behalf, which they eagerly sought to help Russia carry out.
On at least one occasion, Trump publicly absolved Russia of any blame for this attack — while apparently carrying on private financial dealings that involved the office of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Over the weekend, the legal team working for Michael Cohen, President Trump’s estranged fixer and personal lawyer, filed a new document requesting leniency, now that Cohen has pleaded guilty to lying to Congress to conceal efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow that continued at least into June 2016, around when Trump clinched the nomination. The new filing says Cohen was in “close and regular contact” with White House advisers and Trump’s legal team while he prepared to lie to Congress — raising the possibility that they were actively consulted on this plan.

Roughly half of American citizens have the mentality of a six year old for believing absolutely in the President Trump/russian complicity.
Yep, no doubt.
Once again, WAPO clymer and others of your ilk, the President did not call on Russia to hack Her Heinous's emails. By that point, they already had them. The President was just sarcastically commenting on that when he said he hoped the Russians could find the 30,000 missing emails that no one else could seem to find.
Holy crap! This is a NEWS article?????? This reads like the worst of old-fashioned soviet propaganda! They only left out calling Trump a 'capitalist pig'
Actually it is an opinion column.
Dan Bongino mentions Mueller in Mr. Borgino's excellent 37 min video (associated book) where Bongino helps to flesh out the alleged Mueller conspiracy against Pres. Trump.
Mr. Bongino mentions Mueller shortly after 22:05.
Keep in mind, this "attack" was dozens of fake Facebook troll accounts. Their argument is that Hillary lost because dozens of fake Facebook accounts managed to change enough minds to enable Trump to carry 30 states. And Trump and Putin puts this brainstorm together. Dozens of fake Facebook accounts.
Actually, some of the so-called progressives have even advertised themselves as Marxist/Leninists socialists and some have said favorable things about Putin and Trump. These are not your “soft” Scandinavian oriented socialists.
It reads like bad fiction.
I’m at the point where I’d support a ban on stories from WaPo, NYT, or CNN. They’re just a complete waste of everyone’s time and serve no purpose other than to increase the level of frustration at the audacity and persistence of their lies.
Next up: (WP breaking news) Inside sources tell us Trump uses more than one square after taking a dump. [ walls are closing in ] Of course that’s only the ones he’s not got his back up against.
