Discussion: Reports: Trump Aides In Contact With Russian Officials Before Election

Drip …drip…drip…
You’re going down Trump

“It wasn’t the crime, it was the coverup”

Everyone hates you and they’ll all start blabbing to save their own skin.

Please stop. I’m tired of all this winning

Well, it sure was a good thing nothing about this came out in October. The news media might have been distracted from really important things, like the Cia director possibly thinking about considering looking at Hillary emails that he’d already looked at.

“It’s not like these people wear badges that say, ‘I’m a Russian intelligence officer,’"

Plausible deniability.

“It’s not like these people wear badges that say, ‘I’m a Russian intelligence officer,’" Manafort added.

IOW’s he’s saying he COULD have spoken with intelligence officers.

Popcorn anyone?

Maybe Trump just mispronounced 'WHINING?" … that would explain everything.

Let’s have the transcripts! Or perhaps recordings? Nothing like a little viva voce to end any doubt. It was the tapes that sank Nixon

Oh, and how about those tax returns while we’re at it.

Just shows that Manafort and others are blowing smoke. The rule of thumb has (for decades!) been that, unless you have definitive proof to the contrary, assume interested Russian contacts are KGB (now FSB).

The rubes may buy it but nobody else does. Sheesh.

We all knew this and it’s sickening once again. To Russia with love.

Is anybody surprised? This was pretty obvious to anybody who looked at the time, but the Times was enamored with email servers.

@lizzymom Too right! And for Manafort to try this is laughable. It’s not like he had just stepped off the tour bus in some strange furrin city.

Getting the truth out can be easy. Obama is asked in an interview what he thinks about all this and he answers that he’s pretty sure donnie isn’t behind it because he’s not savvy enough or smart enough for such a complex mission. Guess what donnie’s next tweet will be.

This is like someone “discovering” that your dad is an alcoholic, and telling you like it’s news.

“No shit.”

Oopsy. You check in with your FSB handlers and look what happens!

This all is certainly one explanation for Trump’s immediate messaging that “the dishonest media” was not to be trusted, beginning the day after his sparsely attended inaugural, in his bizarre self congratulatory and media attacking remarks at Langley. Behold President Macbeth, the Quisling President.

Manafort’s excuse is in your face ballsy. He’s daring the media to prove it.
