Social media was the tool, Trump was the Trojan Horse. Or was it the other way around?

So, basically the Russians did for Trump what the MSM, the educational system(Run by liberals.), Hollywood and ALL social media sites have been doing for Liberals for decades and in one single cycle, beat them at their own game....and now you're upset?


BTW, none of that stuff is illegal....however, registering non-citizens to vote and bussing people from one district to another to vote multiple times is illegal and guess who was caught doing that? You guessed it! The Democrats.

It's also funny that you guys think exposing Emails of Democrats is the problem and not the illegal and unethical information that they were invopled in. That is so funny! If they weren't so corrupt, the email release wouldn't have hurt them....or Seth Rich for doing the actual exposing.

This apparently is not obvious to most people, but whether the Russians succeeded in their attempt or not, it is still a crime.

IF (big if) the Trump campaign collaborated in an effort to undermine the election, it would still be a crime whether the election was won or was lost.

If the investigation of the affair was not concluded until Trump's term was up and Trump was a private citizen once again, the investigation would continue until concluded, because it is an investigation of a crime.

A criminal scheme need not be successful to be investigated or prosecuted. If Trump had lost it would still be a crime to attempt to sway an election, worthy of prosecution. If Trump had won anyway, but the Russian efforts did not successfully influence the election for him, it would still be a crime worthy to be investigated. So it doesn't really matter whether the various tactics were successful in 2016, it was still criminal activity.

Many Trump supporters have let their pride get in the way of sound judgment. They seem to think that if they agree with the fact that Russians tried to interfere in the election it somehow implies that they were influenced by it. Probably most people were actually not directly persuaded by these tactics, elections are usually won or lost in the margins.

It is every bit as important that we have integrity in our elections as it is to have integrity in our voter rolls. It happened once, we should consider this a warning and take active steps to prevent any country from doing it to us again.
Integrity like flooding the country with millions of democrat 3rd world voters?

Clueless

Whats a falsehood? I stated that "Actually he didn't have to hack them as he was given the computers by Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the first place". What part of what I said is not true?

I don't know if it is on YouTube or not, but a recent interview on CNN gives some insight into your question (IIRC, it was Alisyn Camerota interviewing Anthony Scaramucci). Whether one believes Scaramucci is, of course, another matter.

We have not actually saw any real evidence that Russia "meddled" in the election at all.

Aside from some "Bots" and,...?

I mean seriously where is the evidence besides career deep state actors and politicians saying it happened.


I've literally read not one piece of evidence besides some phony indictments that the government did not even anticipate they would have to go to trial with. So they looked like fools when the defendants actually showed up in court.
