CNN Producer Admits Trump-Russia Collusion is Staged

It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.

You guys realize it would not even be illegal for Trump himself to pick up the phone and call Putin and talk about what a bitch Hilary is and how she botched Benghazi during the campaign, right?

The intent to listen to information that could be damaging to a political opponent?

Nobody was throwing shade at the democrats when they got hold of the "Grab him by the pussy" tape. Are they just as guilty, or is this just nowhere near as big of a deal as you're making it out to be.

I'm thinking the latter.
Yes, the intent to obtain info of political value from a foreign government as part of a campaign is not legal.

More deflection. Another false equivalence of hilariously epic prprorotions. Stop with the bad analogies and comparisons and just talk about the topic...
You're deflecting. I asked you multiple times if the person worked for the Russian government or not.
I'm not deflecting, I answered that earlier in the thread. Yes.
I just now watched an interview where she said herself that she has zero ties to the Russian government.

If you guys want a full "but Hillary" investigation to appease your demand for whataboutism, I'm down. Let's do it after the Russia investigation though.

if russian collusion is no big deal, then why is sitting on information about russian collusion a big deal? ie: trump pointed the finger at obama, for that very thing. and so has every trump defender in the united states. :P

Wow! She must be telling the truth. The mob oligarchy that rules Russia would always be transparent, In no way is it politically advantageous for her to deny ties to the Russian government. Think.

What makes this GOAT thread even GOATer is it started out as a pure LOL/R.I.P. to the Russian conspiracy claims, and now it's derailed into Russian conspiracy claims.

I don't see the issue, but I'm still glad I get to post this.

That is not illegal.

Just pointing out that any election involving those with international dealings is going to include information exchange with foreign nationals. It is part of the research process. Do you think the government under the Obama Admin is going to say, "Oh, BTW, the Clinton foundation is corrupt as fuck.". That info has to come from the opposition. It is part of why these campaigns are so expensive.

Did you not want Trump opponents to look into his international dealings? How do you think they could do that without talking to foreign nationals?

Political campaigns cannot solicit donations of value from foreign governments, if you've forgotten what the actual story is as you talk about things that don't matter at all.

Why do you think Trump Jr. took the meeting with the Russian lawyer?

Yes, it is illegal if the information expected to be exchanged is considered something of value.

Just pointing out that your hypothetical dealings do not pertain to the one that took place last summer, where Donald Trump Jr. set up a meeting with who he perceived to be a foreign government official with the intent of obtaining state information on an opponent.

If you want to clean up the whole process, fine. The "but everyone does it" is a terrible defense though and you know that. You're not excusing what happened even a little bit.

It's not so difficult to understand that 99% of mainstream news isn't even news.

What am I not accepting? Am I denying he met with some Russian attorney? You must've misread when I said I don't give a shit.
