There have been threads with literally hundreds of posts detailing the "how".

The fact that people still ask "SHOW ME HOW THEY DID IT!" is a bit sad at this point.

Denial is a good word. So is obtuse.

At least we are largely past the point of the idiotic "show me how Russia forced me to change my vote".

Donald Trump says son's meeting with Russians was to get Clinton dirt but 'totally legal'

Not what he said last year. No big surprise there.

However, the claim is when he actually took the meeting, the woman offered no such information, and instead was discussing this whole adoption thing. And Trump has maintained throughout that he did not know about the meeting beforehand. So while I won't say the president has never told a lie, in this instance he doesn't appear to be lying or changing his story. It's pretty much the same story that was told way back when this was news. The only thing new is him saying it's "totally legal" which of course it is.

You people know about the tactics used by the Clinton campaign against Trump, don't you? Do you honestly believe the Clinton campaign acted honorably? Do you honestly not understand that both sides engaged in less than honorable, albeit legal tactics to try to win that election? For me, one of the biggest problems is Democrats inability to admit that their side engaged in the same dirty tactics that the Republicans did to try to win that election. I'm sorry that the end result left your candidate on the losing end, but that doesn't change the fact that both parties are one and same when it comes to what they are willing to do to try and win an election. And pretending the Democrats are somehow the more "honorable" or "honest" party is absolutely disingenuous.


And pretending Trump is 'honorable' or 'honest' is YUGELY disingenuous!

I thought so.




(remember, you first posted it)
It doesn't matter if a vote was actually changed, they still interfered.

If you attempt to robe a bank but don't actually take any money, guess what!? You're still getting charged.

Why would Russia care if the Clintons are corrupt? Hint: they don't.

Russia was more concerned with knowing Hillary is actually tough on them. They much rather have the girl scout who handles them with white gloves.

Having a meeting with a lobbyist where gathering dirt is discussed on a political opponent is not illegal. Neither is lying about it. Trump's not under oath. Sorry libs, you'll just have to accept it someday.

What lobbyist was that?

I thought Don Jr. met with a Russian (foreign adversary) official who had ties to the Kremlin. Once that person said, via email, they had "dirt" it should have been turned over to the FBI. The crime was embracing the foreign adversary for political gain.

Now, maybe we are talking about two different meetings.

Actually meeting with the representative of a FOREIGN government to get dirt on your opponent is in fact illegal. It is a crime.


Sorry Repubs, you'll just have to accept it someday

Money laundering is without question and unambiguously illegal...so the rest will take a back seat anyway. This is why Putin owns Trump and has him on a short leash.

btw...
It is illegal to solicit, accept or receive contributions and donations ― including things of value such as opposition research ― from foreign nationals.
