Title might be a bit over the top but if one is following the current standards being used to define Russia and Putin (along with Trump), if you meddle in anyone's elections you are evil,despicable and should be punished dearly correct?

Well, A man named Michael Caputo who worked for Donald Trump and was just hauled in front of the "intel" committee (today) has just revealed that in the 1990's he was sent to Russia by the Clinton administration for the specific reason to meddle and steer their elections and keep Boris in power. Not only did he do so and also remained in Russia to affect other elections.

So, who's really the bad people in this whole Russia thing when WE repeatedly do the SAME DAMN THING.

I had to Google the name...


"The problem we have is the Democrats have no interest in ending these investigations. They're looking to extend this as long as possible because they're successfully stopping Donald Trump from implementing his agenda. He may have won the election, but they have won the first year of his presidency — the most important year of a presidency," he added later.

Former Trump aide Michael Caputo blasts 'collusion delusion' to House Intel panel


I expect a special investigative committee will be appointed to investigate which salad dressings were used by the Trump campaign.

Oh but that's a totally different story.
When corporate Democrats stick their nose in someone else's affairs in order to stir them the way they see it fit, it's all about "American exceptionalism" ( the kind Clinton preaches.)
But if it happens the other way around, it's a crime, and nothing but crime.

It's what political snowflakes do. Blame someone or something else when your team gets their fingers caught in the cookie jar.

Of course, we screw around in elections overseas.
We also take out world leaders who don't comply with our agenda, either by coup or by offing them.
We saddle 3rd world countries with important natural resources with punishing amounts of debt and, later, when they can't adequately pay back those loans -- guess who gets at least partial control of those precious natural resources?
The list goes on and it's ugly.
THAT, folks, is why citizens in some other countries don't like the USA. It's not because they don't like our 'freedoms'...LOL.

No "deflection" intended. What is intended is to highlight that BOTH sides are hypocrites as they BOTH stick their noses into other countries political affairs and then bitc# about the other side doing so and then go on to complain like hell that some other country would dare to turn the table on our elections.

I guess y'all just can't seem to understand the concept or how utterly stupid the U.S. looks to the rest of the world when THEY know very well what the U.S. is up to on a daily basis...

True that, but in this particular case Clinton didn't expect the blow to come from Russia - a country that Clintons marked for destruction when they've had a chance a decade a go.
