THE BIG PICTURE:
The FBI has no idea how
stolen Democrat National Committee (DNC) emails reached WikiLeaks:
stolen Democrat National Committee (DNC) emails reached WikiLeaks:
-- WikiLeaks says the eMails were stolen by a DNC insider, and handed to their representative in Washington DC, on a flash drive.
-- The DNC hired a Democrat-headed computer forensics company, owned by Russians who hated Putin, who claimed "Russia did it" after one day on the job,
as if they were hired just to say that !
as if they were hired just to say that !
-- The FBI was never allowed to investigate the DNC computers to verify the "Russia did it" claims (Note: the home locations of hackers not caught in the act are almost always wild guesses).
The "RussiaGate" investigation was used to justify placing high level members of the Trump campaign under surveillance BEFORE the 2016 election (something you'd expect only in some "Banana Republic").
Democrats have bellowed about dozens of (weak) arguments to keep people interested in RussiaGate -- they all add up to a "nothing burger".
Americans are still being manipulated by Democrats in the media who want Trump impeached -- a well known 'hack' reporter at ABC TV was just suspended for a month for lying about Michael Flynn.
After a year and one-half of various investigations, there is still no evidence of collusion between anyone in the Trump campaign, and any Russians, before the election, or after.
Talking to the Russian Ambassador after the election, and asking Russia to do things that would benefit the US, is not collusion.
That's what Michael Flynn was told to do,
and that's what he did.
and that's what he did.
Collusion, by the way, is not a crime.
As I have said on this blog from the beginning,
Special Council Robert Mueller should be fired.
Special Council Robert Mueller should be fired.
Mueller should not have been appointed in the first place: If the FBI was good enough to investigate Hillary Clinton, then they were good enough to investigate Donald Trump.
Mueller has yet to state what specific crime, concerning Russians influencing the 2016 election, that he is trying to prove.
Mueller has yet to explain why he hired so many Democrats, including Andrew Weissmann, a Democrat infamous for his multi-decade pattern of gross prosecutorial overreach.
DETAILS:
As I have been saying on this blog since Fall 2016, Donald Trump is not the colluding type --
Trump barely colluded with the Republican Party,
who he was supposed to "collude" with,
to win the election.

Another important fact is that
collusion is not a crime,
unless bribes are involved.

There is no evidence that Donald Trump illegally colluded with the Russian government to steal the 2016 election -- he doesn't collude with anyone -- that's why so many people don't like him!
When WikiLeaks began releasing stolen DNC eMails, the Democrats almost immediately blamed Russian hackers, in an effort to divert attention and counterattack the Trump campaign.
WikiLeaks denies the eMails were hacked.
In an October 2016 debate with Trump, Hillary Clinton claimed “17 intelligence agencies” concluded Russia was behind the WikiLeaks releases.
Hillary Clinton was lying, as usual !
The truth:
The "conclusion" was only by the dishonest Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, and two dozen CIA, FBI and NSA agents he hand-picked.
Clapper, you should remember, lied under oath to Congress when falsely denying that the US government collects metadata from all cell phones used in this nation (they do!).
No one on Clapper's team, or anyone else in the US government, was ever allowed by the DNC to examine,
or even touch, DNC computers and servers.
or even touch, DNC computers and servers.
Not even after the election = very suspicious!
James Clapper is not only a liar, he is also a known Russia hater: Clapper had said in the past:
“It is in their (Russian) genes to be opposed, diametrically opposed to the United States and to Western democracies.”
“It is in their (Russian) genes to be opposed, diametrically opposed to the United States and to Western democracies.”
There is no hard evidence Democrat emails were hacked, much less that Russians did it -- the FBI has no idea how stolen DNC emails reached WikiLeaks.
Yet anti-Russia sentiment was used to manufacture support for anti-Russia sanctions by Obama after the election, troops along Russia’s border, and NATO expansion.
The RussiaGate investigation WAS used to justify placing members of the Trump campaign under surveillance BEFORE the 2016 election.
Democrats also claim Russia used a propaganda campaign to get Trump elected, including RT America airing anti-establishment opinions from Americans who mainstream media outlets ignored, and $100,000 in Facebook ads.
$100,000 of ads would have had almost no effect on a $6.8 billion election!
In fact, the Facebook ads rarely mentioned the election, and most were seen after the election!
There are lots of claims about how Trump has “financial ties to Russia”, but his company has financial ties with many other foreign countries.
That's not a crime!
Paul Manafort and Rick Gates were indicted for things that had nothing to do with Trump, or Russia.
I give them the assumption of innocence until there is proof they are guilty.

George Papadopoulos was a low-level Trump campaign volunteer, whose frequent attempts to arrange meetings between campaign officials and Russians would not have been a crime even if they had happened.
In fact, 100% of Papadopoulos' requests were rejected by Paul Manafort and/or other Trump campaign officials.
