It is a fact that Trump was aware of it and pleased with the help, even if he did not directly contribute to their efforts.
It is a fact that there were over 40 contacts between members of the Trump campaign and Russian operatives, picked up by routine surveillance of Russian communications initially. This was not surveillance of Americans, they were contacting the Russians and got picked up as the other parties in phone calls etc.
No other campaign that year had any contacts. None of the 16 other Republican primary campaigns nor the five Democratic campaigns, not the Greens nor the Libertarians. But the Trump campaign had dozens initially, and the list later expanded to several hundred conversations and exchanges, sometimes meeting in person.
It is a fact that Paul Manafort, then head of the Trump campaign, met with a Russian operative personally and handed over Republican private polling data for the four states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
It is a fact that Trump attempted to lift all sanctions on Russia the first week in office, Congress found out about it and stopped that attempt. Further sanctions approved after Trump took office were opposed by Trump, and he signed them reluctantly after Congress demonstrated it could over-ride his veto. Subsequently Trump did not enforce the new sanctions.
The Muller report outlines no less than ten incidences of Donald Trump obstructing justice in cases related to the Russian interference.
These current meager attempts to throw shade on the investigations of contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia simply will not work. Hell yeah we want our national security apparatus checking into these crimes. It's what we pay them for, and as patriots they would want to do it.
There's no use presenting these facts. All the Trump supporters already have their fingers in their ears while they chant la-la-la-la.
Seems so. Another dangerous abuse of authority being used as an 11th hour pathetic and doomed attempt to salvage his reelection bid.
Are you concerned at all that B. Hussein Obama coordinated an attempted coup against sitting President Trump? That is what is called an abuse of power. Comments?
"President Trump tweeted he has fully authorized the total declassification of all documents pertaining to the Russia investigation."
Long past overdo.
He did that in May 2019. Nothing happened until John Ratcliffe became Director of National Intelligence in May 2020. Trump's appointments before then, including Barr, were junk and now it's too late to make a difference.

I guess the senate committee missed that in their 1,000 page report back in August. But don't let that stop you from stating the same old tired unproven conspiracy "Obama wiretapped me".

WASHINGTON — A sprawling report released Tuesday by a Republican-controlled Senate panel that spent three years investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election laid out an extensive web of contacts between Trump campaign advisers and Kremlin officials and other Russians, including at least one intelligence officer and others tied to the country’s spy services.
The report by the Senate Intelligence Committee, totaling nearly 1,000 pages, drew to a close one of the highest-profile congressional investigations in recent memory and could be the last word from an official government inquiry about the expansive Russian campaign to sabotage the 2016 election.
It provided a bipartisan Senate imprimatur for an extraordinary set of facts: The Russian government disrupted an American election to help Mr. Trump become president, Russian intelligence services viewed members of the Trump campaign as easily manipulated, and some of Mr. Trump’s advisers were eager for the help from an American adversary.

Are you concerned at all that you have been fed a fantasy, and that misinformation guides your thinking and your choices?
Are you concerned at all that you are manipulated and controlled, that you are being used like a tool?

Quoting NYT is like putting up a sign saying SKIP THIS POST!!! The evidence is piling up. Hussein Obama many never go to jail, but his legacy will always be that of the most criminal and divisive presidency in our history.

I seriously hate the NYT. Especially after a couple of instances over the past couple of months.
