No the poster is claiming we want to undo the election. This is idiotic of course, we realize we can not undo the election. We can however hold those in office accountable should the investigation reveal they were in fact working with Russia, then more importantly lied and tried to cover up.

As I said how many more Trump people need to be found to have had contact with Russia, then lying about it later, do we need to establish a clear pattern?

Before you say "well, polls say....." let me remind you that they also said Hillary would be president...

As time has progressed more evidence has come to light that the Hillary camp and others might just have stepped in big money hunting pile of doo-doo.

We'll have to wait and see how it all pans out.

And let me remind you, again, that Clinton won the popular vote. Given how close the election was, and certainly within every poll's +/-, the pre-election polls were pretty much on target.

If polls were useless then why did Trump reference them CONSTANTLY during the campaign? As always you want it both ways, polls are great when they show good news, dismissed when they do not. They are the only way to gauge the pulse of the public and right now your President has the worst approval ratings in history. And that was before Monday.

It's turning out to be more than just "Trump people" with the uranium deal secrets coming out.
And now Podesta's name is bubbling to the top and he's not one of "Trump's people".

The polls said Hillary would win several states she lost easily and get 90% of the women's vote

But what crime was committed in order for the money to be "laundered" ?
Was it that he didn't register as a foreign agent ?
Paying for millions of dollars of basic goods like clothing using offshore accounts in Cyprus without paying taxes on it is one example.

Which means absolutely nothing in American politics.

No that's tax evasion, not money laundering. Money laundering involves money received from a crime having been committed.

Money laundering is the moving of money obtained illegally.

It is tax evasion, but it's also a way to launder money by using large quantities of money from offshore accounts itemized as items like rugs, clothing, and landscaping for other purposes.

It's usually done on large items like real estate, but Manafort also did it with enormous quantities of basic items. Who spends $1 million on men's shirts and ties through a shell corporation in Cyprus? Someone trying to launder the money.

Laundering money is moving money obtained illegally.

If he got paid and didn't pay taxes that's tax evasion, not money laundering.
