Far left? Obama was more to the right than George W.

He doesn't struggle with that. Putin said they didn't do it and Trump believes him.

If you bothered to read it you would not be wondering about the details.

Spoiler Alert - It was the Russians and only the Russians.

It has nothing to do with being impartial or otherwise just read it. If it all or any of it pointed to Trump I would say so.
I did read the indictment. So you figure a Russian caterer whose nickname is, Putin's Chef, decided on his own accord to spend millions of dollars of his own money to bring down US democracy, and that's it? End of story?

Again, anyone who thinks the US should stop investigating this now is simply Un-American. There is no other way to describe it.

They also wanted Clinton to lose I assume because of the 2011 election so they accomplished both. I recall Trump praising Putin and Russia after the election, even now he has yet to criticize Russia for their actions. But he has criticized the DOJ and his own intelligence chief, if you are Russia it doesn't get any better than that.
How could they retaliate? Retaliation would have only exposed their operatives here to be what we said they were.

Putin had dealings with Clinton when she was Secretary of State. He had dealings with Trump, too. He knew full well which person he wanted in the White House and which person he wanted to see lose.

The Russians are the world masters of psychology. Putin rose to power through the use of it on his own people, and he knows its effectiveness on us now.

It's a far easier and cheaper way to get what he wants than threats of military might. It's far safer for him, too. And now he knows how well it works for him here. Thinking he will not use the internet as a weapon against us is both very foolish and very dangerous to us all, as he will.

And he won't stop until his new Russia regains its old empire, without all the needless entanglements of Communism to impede its progress.

The longer we remain divided and in disarray and paralysis, the faster his objectives are reached. Putin does not want to invade us. He wants to make America irrelevant. So far, he's done very well at it.

Hillary lost because of two things.. she was a faulty candidate... and....Jill Stein, captured enough votes to make up the difference between hillery and Donnie in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. (kinda like what happened in 1992 when ross perot cost bush1 to lose to Clinton)

Wait until the voting and election fraud is exposed. It is about to blow wide open and the Democrats know it. They don't want Muellers finding released until after the 2018 midterms, because they say it will cause Americans to lose all faith in our elections...... Because DHS has found massive voter fraud in the 2016 election cycle.
Could we have a revote?

The President of the United States was presented with evidence our country was attacked by a foreign power and his reaction: "This proves I'm innocent."

He didn't say a word about the attack on the country.

He didn't say a word about defending us.

Let that sink in for a moment.
