    And what evidence have they produced so far?

    What I have noticed with predictable regularity in my 55 years on this planet is that the same people bitch, complain and moan the same bitches, complaints, moanings no matter who is in office, what party they are a member of or any other criteria.
    Guess it's easier to bitch, complain and moan blaming whatever political scapegoat is available rather than applying rational thought and logic and assuming personal responsibility.

    Having said that my complaint about Trump has nothing to do with politics, just being a decent human being, something he has shown he is incapable of time after time.

    Because at the time there was no hard evidence that Trump himself actively participated even though he clearly used the Russian hacks to his advantage and publicly encouraged them to commit illegal activity.

    Stranger things…

    For years right wingers have been posting conspiracy theories, that where built on nothing but smoke and mirrors, innuendo, supposition and wishful thinking – they seemed able to make something out of nothing, I mean take the whole birther thing (that Trump was fond of stoking) for example.

    These people seem able to take the tiniest morsel of information or the most insubstantial ‘evidence’ and mould it in their brains into the irrefutable fact of a vast collisional conspiracy.

    I mean it seemed to me that if a Jew and a democrat meet up in the White House it was seen as proof positive of a worldwide left wing Jewish attempt to take over the world.

    So what do we seem to be getting from that quarter at the moment about all the Trump shenanigans – ‘move along nothing to see’ or ‘fake news’ or ‘what about Hillary’

    And what about the Trump attempt to get information on every voter something that undermines the whole idea of the secret ballot as well as being the perfect tool for gerrymandering and we don’t seem to be getting a peek from the Conspiracy guys about this? I mean I’m sure if a left winger had suggested it the pro-gun people would claim it was the ‘pinko liberals’ wanting to know which people were likely to have guns etc etc…

    Just been thinking there never has been an all-out civil war in a nuclear armed country before ;)

    HOT FUCKING DAMN!!!!
    Balbus and I completely agree on something for once!!! Gods be praised!!!!
    I have actually been pondering the exact same thing over the last few days and you worded it as I thought.

    Their is hope for our friendship yet. :)

    too bad I can only "like" a post one time.

    summed up in two words: cognitive dissonance

    One thing is for sure, we will never know what would've happened if President Obama had done the right thing. What we do know is that he stood by and done nothing therefore President Trump once again took care of it as he has a history of doing things right.

    So you think Obama should have fired Comey for his investigation of Clinton?
    Do you think the investigation of Clinton was illegal, or political?

    What "right things" does Trump have a history of doing?
    Are you suggesting that he fired Comey because Comey was inept, even though Trump himself stated he fired Comey because of, “this Russia thing with Trump and Russia”

    So in other words you accused him of a crime without any evidence. And now you're depending on this new evidence to turn up something to confirm your bias. Nice.

    There is plenty of evidence that something strange was going on, I'm not going to list it all because I've already done that numerous times, look it up.

    But let's understand what evidence is.
    There's lots of different kinds of evidence, some stronger than others.
    There's analogical, anecdotal, character, circumstantial, demonstrative, documentary, direct, forensic, hearsay, physical, prima facie, and testimonial, among others.

    Evidence is gathered when it's suspected that something illegal has happened. Gathering evidence doesn't mean anything illegal has happened, but it's done in order to determine if it has.

    Anytime evidence is gathered in an attempt to prove a crime, that would certainly mean the one gathering the evidence is exhibiting a certain amount of bias. They think a crime may have been committed.

    To say there's no evidence of collusion is blatantly wrong as Trump himself asked the Russians to find Hillary's emails in public. How strong that bit and all the other evidence is and where it will lead is what the investigation is for.
    May be nothing, may be a whole lot.

    In context he said if it's Russia then he hope they find Hillary's emails. That's kinda weak to say that's proof of collusion.

    In regards to Putin:
    This does not prove that Trump colluded with the Russians, but it's one piece of evidence that he may have.

    It shows that he was willing to encourage Russia to illegally hack the private server of an American citizen or at least encourage them to obtain and distribute that data illegally.
    It shows that he was willing to encourage Russia to illegally hack the private server of apolitical rival or at least encourage them to obtain and distribute that data illegally.
    It shows he was unwilling to condemn illegal activity.
    It shows he wanted the Russians to have that data.
    It shows he was willing to compromise national security for his own ends.
    It shows he distorted the truth about the emails, suggesting that Hillary willfully was trying to hide something in the emails, when an investigation proved she wasn't.

    While I can't condone encouraging an illegal act if it is in fact illegal, but just because an investigation supposedly proved that she wasn't hiding emails, doesn't mean that he's lying. Btw, I would like to see the investigation that proved Hillary wasn't hiding emails.

    No investigation proved she wasn't hiding emails,
    The investigation failed to prove she was hiding emails.

    In the United States everyone is innocence until guilt is proven. Even Hillary Clinton.

    Here you go.....

    That's not how the American justice system works. Its innocent until proven guilty; not guilty until innocent.
