Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDo you find it suspicious that Trump is talking about the "Russian hoax" so much?
And how John Durham is discovering all this bad stuff about Hillary?
He is pushing the "Russian hoax" as a hit job on him and his campaign. I am wondering whether or not they have found evidence of his collusion with Putin and Russia? He believes they have the goods on him, in my opinion.
It is not as if there were no reasons not to be suspicious. Even before he was sworn into office, his National Security Adviser, General Michael Flynn was on the phone having secret conversations with the Russians. When the FBI asked him about it, he lied. Why?
And that was only the beginning.
The server in Trump Tower was only a small part of the suspicions.
When he looked straight into the camera on nationwide TV and said, "Russia, if you're listening", it did not lessen the Russian connections to Donald Trump. Then, that very same day, Russia released the emails to the public and Donald Trump celebrated them doing it.
Then, there were the secret meetings between he and Putin, especially the one at Helsinki. He stood behind the Russian leader over his own intelligence. It was traitorous behavior, in many folks eyes. We still do not know what they discussed in private.
So, when Donald Trump starts talking about the "Russian hoax", I am very skeptical of his intentions. He sounds guilty as sin.

(1,182 posts)is that Durham's investigation "discovered" that the HRC campaign paid for the opposition research (skipping over the "subsequent" part of said research, which was originally bankrolled by a Republican.)
So what? You're entitled to pay for opposition research. There ain't no law against it. Bad practice not too, in fact. He just hates that it came so close to the truth, which is that he's the paid lackey of Putin.
He's trying to relitigate the mess because he thinks he can win again, or because, like his mean old daddy drilled into his head, you hit back TWICE as hard anyone who messes with you!
But I think the bigger, richer moguls who own the GOP ain't gonna let him run again. He may try, but they'll probably just buy him off this time.
Maybe he's just angling for that -- cash from his uppers to make him go away. Who knows? Maybe his son-in-law (laundering for the Saudis?) will end up buying his stupid golf courses, just so he can keep his lousy name on a few.
I'll always wonder what was in that gift box Uncle Vlad gave him.. A thumb drive perhaps? With a video on it?

I would guess that with all the modern investigative tools available coupled with witness statements and deals for testimony, the FBI has a full picture of who, what, when, where, and why.
All the tell-all books written portray a totally disgusting and dysfunctional administration. The only thing missing is the evidence of the money trail. Hopefully we get to see it. Hopefully the Mueller report is released in full.

(11,885 posts)With the Jan 6th hearing about to start he's telling everyone what he's done. His pattern is the same. Next will be false claims and accusations against members of the Jan 6 committee, which he'll make up, and call for their investigation.
TFG knows he's a serial liar and corrupt, and why at his rally he claims he's the most honest person and the most investigated person ever in our history, and its all a hoax, and done to politically hurt him. He's scared too because he couldn't spy on them to learn what all they have on him. His grifting money scheme from followers is about to be undermined by the truth, and he will be getting desperate for more money.
