    After the next election, he will have more flexibility in regard to dots.

    Right now Trump has a bad case of syphilis. It is itching and burning and destroying his sex life. Problem is a couple more outbreaks and he will be wearing a diaper and not remember his name.

    Trump is a disgusting human being and an embarrassment as a President.

    Remember the July 2016 meeting between the Trump campaign and Russians in Trump tower.

    one of the Russians at the meeting was this Russian lawyer, who has always maintained that she was a private lawyer working issues related to adoption of Russian children
    [​IMG]
    she was recently interviewed by Richard Engels who asked her to explain the emails between the Russian Government's Attorney General office and her. she appeared angry and did not give a coherent answer. the content of the emails indicate that she was helping the Attorney General office to draft responses to US policy related to sanctions against Russian oligarchs.

    she is connected to the inner sanctum of the Russian Government.​

    Back in the days, Natalia Veselnitskaya was to Putin as Michael Cohen was to DJ Trump

    Both were lawyers / fixers for powerful man
    Both lied BIGly
    • She lied that she acted on her own, as a private lawyer
    • Cohen lied that he used his own $, w/o Trump's knowledge / received no reimbursement from Trump campaign , to pay the "hush $" to Stormy Daniels

    It's a pretty huge dot. One of the only things that prevented the meeting from being collusion at the time was the fact that we didn't know this woman's connection to the Russian govt. This now indicates she worked in an official capacity with the Russian govt. Which makes it look like collusion was likely.

    I'm sorry @tallanvor and @Bobbythegreat but the Mueller investigation that you claimed has moved on from collusion appears to have a solid link on the collusion front.

    What makes matters even worse is that she initially lied about her connections and job. So not only is she officially connected to Putin's govt. in a capacity charged with seeking favors, the Trump administration could and possibly did provide, but she lied about that position as did Trump's team.

    Respectfully it’s always been a solid dot. We’ve moved on from collusion a long time ago and have even moved on from small crimes to “well the crimes aren’t about collusion so they don’t matter”.

    Everyone knew at the time that the Russian Lawyer was a Russian informant to the Kremlin. Even those who denied it knew it, but just wanted to not give libtards a win in their minds because in the mind of someone like Bobby, it’s not about protecting our country from foreign influence, it’s about winning an argument on an Internet forum.

    The Trump campaign colluded. Case closed. (With legal ramifications to follow). The Democrats are either going to notify the public about this or their will keep their tails tucked between their legs because they know the right will lose their minds if you ever attack them in the way they falsely accuse your side of criminal wrong doing and lead chants to lock up political opponents like a third world country.

    F-em. Trump colluded. Anyone denying that is blind or an internet troll.

    Case isn’t closed until Trump throws everyone at that meeting under the bus, especially his son DJTJ.

    Really? I hadn't seen any evidence of the lawyer's connection to the Kremlin. I think it was suspected because of her ties to some of the wealthy oligarchs in Russia, but nothing concrete. It is possible that I missed it.

    I could believe it but not be willing to proceed with charges or release anything in the media without actual proof. I think it's good to separate as much fact from the hype as possible.

    I totally agree about seperating fact from hype and being as technical as possible, but it doesn’t change the obvious, right in our faces, circumstantial evidence that would be damning if it wasn’t for the right playing liberals and the media for fools when they are asking everyone to exercise poltical carefulness that we all know they sure as sh$& wouldn’t provide on their end.

    Also if the Democrats chose to do so, they have enough to make a pretty damning political case to Americans about Trumps borderline treasonous actions. Not saying they will or should use that poltical case even though they will be accused of doing so regardless.

    So it at least begs the question of why, if your going to be blamed regardless, you aren’t using the circumstantial evidence that is blatantly right in our faces in Trumps own words and his sons emails that the campaign sought help from the Russians to win the election and take a dump on the most important element of our democracy (obviously our free elections even though those on the right probably think it’s owning AR15’s).
