With all the rhetoric about Russian collusion and no evidence at the present to validate the accusations.

1. Exactly what does Russia gain with a Trump Administration that affects our National Security? Foreign interference is common in elections even by the U.S.

2. Why do you believe the Trump administration would conspire with Russia?

3. Do you believe Vice President Pence or Congress would go along with this idea?

1. Russia wants to break up western alliances, and wants to destabilize our country.
2. Yes...in a heartbeat, and without a second thought.
3. Absolutely.

trump has Already thrown America under the bus. The Russians have had trump locked down for years. Everything about trump smells of self-aggrandising communist. He is all about himself every day he Lies he throws us under the bus. The Pathetic way he has dishonored fallen Soldiers, lowering taxes for the rich, leaving families to die in Puerto Rico and blaming it on someone else.

The only thing i wish trump would do is dump twitter for snap chat. Listen, i could care less if trump and putin cuddled with each other at the weekend white house in florida. I stick by the facts. Clinton sold the damn russions 20% of our uranium rights!!! Does everyone forget that? Come on people. This is still us vs. Them, left vs. Right. Until the far left decides that they actually do love this country and start working with the right. I will also admit trump needs to heed his own advise and shut the hell up. Even if he were 100% right all the time, putting it on twitter all the time only creates fodder for those that believe that his elevator doesnt go all the way to the top. Russia, was actually much better off with obama and co. In the WH. He just doesn't realize it yet because he is pissed over the sanctions. BTW, anyone who actually believes those were put in place over russia messing with the elections is an idiot. They were put there solely to give trump grief. Obama was dumb, yea right.....dumb like a fox.

CPT Lamont R. - Thank you. I've never seen critical thinking so lacking. I believe the internet and 24/7 news cycle has helped give the rise to anyone who wants to be "news." What I don't understand is also with that internet, we can read varied levels of news, not just liberal or conservative, and draw conclusions rather than finding something that supports our beliefs. And some things, like this one, is obvious (state dept couldn't do that if they wanted to), since I worked in government so many years. When I pointed out one false thing to a good friend, she said, "Well, that's what I want to believe." So that was that.

Well, gee golly willikers, ive been accused of being an average American by someone who found fault with a small part of one post from several months ago. I think ill take it. I mean this is the first day in a week someone hasnt called me a racist for one post or another. However, the narrative that has carried over in liberal circles since september has been trump colluding with Russia with absolutely no proof. But that doesnt stop those the likes of maxine waters, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer and their ilk from pressing the issue at a cost of tens of millions of dollars. So there is PLENTY of blame and crap for both sides of this proverbial fence.

Just because Fox News says it does not make it true. Regardless of our political beliefs, we are Americans. Don't think for a moment that one or the other party has never made a mistake. When someone asks another a question and they say "oh what about Hillary" this is a tactic called whataboutism used earlier by the Soviet Union and doesn't pertain to the present problems. The Republicans, not all but many support bills that invariably or directly hurt the bottom class and the conservative media praises it, makes it seem like it is helping you. This is just a ploy to keep you in control and happy to be neglected and abused. If you've ever read George Orwell's "1984" you'd see the correlations in many of the societies today.

Shepard Smith debunked this stupid story right on the air on FoxNews, but the weak minded just simply continue to be...well,...weak minded. Clinton couldn't have sold the Russians that uranium any more than the Lance Corporal who made this post could lead a battalion of Marines into combat. Neither she, nor him has the juice.

People who believe Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election are about as stupid as people who thought Obama was a Kenyan. Can't fix stupid, and it isn't inherent to one political party.

"Collusion" is not a crime, but conspiracy is.

A conspiracy is merely an agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime and some conspiracies may require that at least one overt act must be undertaken in furtherance of that agreement to complete the crime of conspiracy. Additionally, ignorance of the law is not a defense for breaking the law.

US campaign law states that no person shall knowingly solicit or accept from a foreign national any contribution to a campaign of any thing of value. Dirt on an opponent is a thing of value. Therefore, the mere fact that Trump Jr, Manafort, and Kushner agreed to meet with a Russian to get dirt on Hillary makes them guilty of a criminal conspiracy. They also guilty of soliciting an item of value by coordinating and attending the meeting even if that meeting was not fruitful and nothing of value was obtained. In this context, a solicitation is an oral or written communication that, construed as reasonably understood in the context in which it is made, contains a clear message asking, requesting, or recommending that another person make a contribution, donation, transfer, or otherwise provide anything of value.

If your reply is that Hillary paid a foreign investigator to compile a dossier on Trump, then I say fine; her staff and the conservative Free Beacon staff can sit in the jail cells next to Trump Jr, Manafort, and Kushner for criminal conspiracy and soliciting a foreign campaign contribution. The crimes of the Left do not absolve the crimes of the Right. They should all go to jail for their criminal conduct.

But to claim the events did not happen, after Trump Jr partially released his emails and all parties admitted to the elements of the crime, is even more stupid than claiming Obama is a Kenyan...

1. Hillary would have been much tougher on the Russians. Trump seems beholden to them since they helped him get elected.
2. in a heartbeat, if it means trump could make a few $
3. Pence is a weak man, would go along with anything trump says or does

Sad that people in the military who held security clearances cry, "no evidence" knowing that such information remains classified until it's either edited and redacted and declassified. Much like this administration, all I see is convenient excuses that don't hold up to sound logic. Do I believe that this administration would sell out? Name one POSITIVE thing the administration has accomplished since January 20 besides controversy and scandal. People place trust in things that have a track record of failure just to sooth their political sensibilities and throw logic out the window. I'll wait till the special prosecutor finds or doesn't find anything before I pass judgement and say he will or won't. One note of caution, never in this history of special prosecutors have they not found what they were looking for, from Nixon to Whitewater. Good luck with those pipe dreams.

that's truly funny

he's been sued and lost in court, or paid up his refusal to pay his debts - his first loss in court in the 60s - his entire professional life has been fraud and he was convicted of fraud right before his inauguration paying up the $25 million he owed.

why would a lifetime of fraud, sexual abuse [proven in court] employee abuse [proven in court] discrimination [proven in court] change with an oath of office

virtually everyone in his administration guilty of some degree of corruption, lying, and abuse of office

how does this tiger change its stripes
