I would add only that several Congressmen urged Comey to conclude the investigation quickly, to clear up the "cloud of suspicion" surrounding Trump and his White House. I doubt these urgings will affect the pace of the investigation, but several in Congress seem impatient. Especially Nunes. I find it amusing that GOP Congressmen recognize how a protracted investigation can create suspicion by innuendo, by dragging it out and consuming the news cycle. They seem to recognize their own tactics in dragging out Benghazi. It's exactly what they intended as a way to slime Clinton and now they don't want it to happen to their own POTUS.

I thought they were probed but according to the usual retards the hack failed because the RNC used strong passwords

Yeah, the RNC servers were hacked too. But IIRC there was not much stored on them. So, there was nothing for the Russians to leak.

Moreover, seems to me Trump's 'campaign' was basically a one man show. I don't think he used the RNC
much, whereas the DNC operated as the Clinton political machine. You hack the DNC, you hack Clinton. I.e., much harder to 'hack' Trump.

Even one did hack Trump, I'm not sure what you do with it. It's generally considered a bad idea to interrupt someone when they're busy shooting themselves in foot. Throughout the election Trump seemed to be machine gunning himself in the foot about three times a week.

Additionally, weren't the alleged Russian hacks done during the primary? If so, we know who you're going to hack on the Democratic side, but with 2 dozen or so candidates on the Repub, which do you hack? All of them?

As expected, Trump is full of shit. As usual. This guy already makes his predecessors look like the paragons of truth.

Not quite-

In a hearing before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Tuesday, Comey offered a few fresh scraps of information about Russian hackers’ targeting of Republican organizations along with Democratic ones, noting that state-level GOP targets and a disused RNC email domain were penetrated, while also confirming for the first time that the FBI doesn’t believe Trump’s campaign itself was hacked. “There was evidence that there was hacking directed at state-level organizations and the RNC, but old domains of the RNC, that is, email domains they were no longer using,” Comey told the Senate committee. “Information was harvested from there, but it was old stuff. None of that was released.”

Publishing anything derogatory about Trump or the Repubs isn't in Russian interests. Their incompetence serves Russia as well as it serves our own financial elite.

Going to Adm. Rogers, Nunes said, “Do you have any evidence that Russian actors changed vote tallies in the state of Michigan?” referring to a battleground state Hillary Clinton lost.

“No, I do not,” Rogers responded, before emphasizing the NSA is a foreign intelligence agency, and does not focus domestically.

“How about the state of Pennsylvania?” Nunes asked.

“No, sir,” Rogers responded.

“The state of Wisconsin?”

“No, sir,” Rogers said.

He gave similar answers when asked about vote tallying in Florida, North Carolina and Ohio.

Turning to Comey, Nunes said, “Do you have any evidence that the FBI that any votes were changed in the states I mentioned to Adm. Rogers?”

“No,” Comey responded.http://www.theamericanmirror.com/fbi-nsa-no-evidence-russia-manipulated-us-vote-tallying/

Nobody around here or at the hearing was thinking Russia messed with the voting machines, nobody. You're a good soldier thought see post #95?

Nice try at deflecting. That's not what the FBI is investigating, and not what the concern is.

The issues are whether or not Russia tried to influence the election through the DNC hacks (current evidence indicates it did), and whether or not Trump associates and campaign members were at all complicit in those hacks.

Nunes, Gowdy and others are trying to throw you off the scent, and you're falling for it.

But but the Orangutan in Chief was adamant there was widespread voter fraud! He even told his supporters to vote twice to make sure there was voter fraud to point to.

You assume that the Russians ever intended to leak RNC material. It's obviously not the only reason for hacking.

if this shit goes down we are talking high order treason. Im interested in how our local conservatives think. Hypothetically if it turns out trump and co collaborated with the Russians would you also consider it treason? serious question.

Sometimes you hold information without the intent to leak but simply to compromise individuals based on the threat.

Anyway if collusion is found, it'll be treason for sure. Cannot have the US president serving as an agent for a foreign power, especially after cutting a deal with them.


Absolutely cutting edge journalism right there. They are really pushing the envelope letting that one woman in the back wear pants on national TV.

I listened to Comey testify for about 20 minutes without saying anything one way or another. He Said "we have a policy of not discussing articles and also said they dont confirm the truthfulness or untruthfulness of articles. Then he said we dont discuss hypothetical questions, then he said everything else was classified and refused to discuss it. I came to the conclusion that you cant tell if the FBI is telling the truth or just lying out of their collective asses. Why does the FBI even exist?

According to Hannity, "liberal snowflakes" are hypocrites for making a big deal out of Trump/Russia ties because Obama spent 300k taxpayer dollars influencing our close ally Israel's election. So why are you such a snowflake?

No different than the DNC or Clinton servers, but pubs and their co-dependents treated every risotto recipe and ballet recital photo and completely typical party strategy conversation as an attempted coup to overthrow western democracy.

Further, neither you nor anyone else has an idea what dirt Russia has on the RNC and the Trump campaign, but you are quietly shaking in your boots because you know that turnip is currently a hostage of Putin.

No one is convinced by your simple dismissals.

and...the Libs love Comey once again. This too shall pass.

your fellow citizens, and the law, are not your enemy.

Fascists are your enemy. Do your best not to forget these truths in this miasma of dishonest information dissemination from your surrogate betters.
