    Better to be thorough and go where the evidence leads. There is no need to rush.

    Amazing. So many conservative leaning active FBI agents on this message board.

    You probably shouldn't leak such information on a basketball forum though.

    There was no Russian collusion with the Trump Administration. This entire "Russia" push is a way to do two things: 1) Provide cover for why the Obama Administration spied on the Trump campaign during the election and 2) Preserve the "integrity" of the NSA and FBI for both spying on the Trump campaign and using intel as a weapon on a broad scale to achieve political goals. That's it, short and simple.

    What the Obama Administration did in spying on political opponents and on the Trump campaign is a scandal perhaps unmatched in history. It's a multi-decade political setback unless there was a good reason for doing so. "Russia" is a way to fabricate that "good reason". Everything that has come out in this case supports this position.


    GOOD DAY

    I guess it is feesable that the NSA or CIA possess a time traveling device to have the foresight to spy on Manafort in 2014.

    I mean if the technology exists, it would be the CIA that would possess it.

    And good day to you too sir.

    Manafort was spied on multiple times, including during and after the 2016 election. Previous investigations into Manafort were abandoned due to lack of evidence. As the FBI looks for 'cover' for why they would spy on the Trump campaign, the first place to go is back to the well... Manafort and Russia. To think that Trump colluded with the Russians, and to take the next step that this collusion impacted the Presidential race... well, it's beyond absurd to anyone not afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome. This is why you have the special prosecutor looking at such frivolous things like Don Jr's throwaway meeting with a few Russian wannabe's and Trump's statements on the airplane about Don Jr's response to these allegations. If that's all Mueller has, then this is a pathetic sham of an investigation. It's a conspiracy theory looking for evidence. It's nothing more than guilt by accusation, which, if that is the new standard, is a thousand year setback to the judicial process.

    I'm the smartest person on this BBS by a wide margin. My posts need to be carefully considered and then believed.

    So now any evidence of collusion is thrown away by your arbitrary judgement if 'throwaway Russian wannabees'.

    Maybe Trump shouldn't have hired a man worthy of the FBI legally spying on him as his presidential campaign manager.

    And good to know that there is another conservative poster on this message board who is employed by the FBI and knows the inner findings of surveillances and investigations. You shouldn't leak information like "they found nothing" on a basketball forum.

    Blah, blah, blah. Really, Trader_J, after taking the time to post these missives during your on-going "vacation," is this really the best that you can do? I'm disappointed. I expected more than a tired rehash of the fake news coming out of The White House, Breitbart, and Fox, with past help from, yes, Putin's Russia.

    Instead, you are busy flinging egg in your own face. Why? It is in defense of an unstable pathological liar, who is so consumed with his insecurities that instead of concentrating on being the leader of the Free World, he posts tweets from his toilet at 5 in the morning attacking a cornucopia of targets having nothing to do with governing our nation.

    Maybe you need a nap.

    Lot of words there, Deckard, but no content. Just name calling and anger. You can't mount an effective rebuttal. No one can -- because there is no crime here. And to then suggest that this imaginary crime was the difference in the election? Seriously, that's absurd. The media dropped all journalistic integrity to smear Trump day in and day out for over a year. The effect of these efforts was probably helping Hillary avoid a landslide loss. She probably picked up 5-6 points in the popular vote due to the media's influence. Trump gained nothing from the unsubstantiated allegations of Russian 'interference' -- an 'interference' that no one can even define.

    GOOD DAY

    You want him to form a rebuttal? Because the NSA and FBI and a team of high profile lawyers are knowingly involved in a fake investigation to maintain their integrity because of the spying on Trump during his campaign.

    Seriously humans are evlolved enough to create the internet and land on the moon, along with tons of potential. But by god there are still other sides to what people are capable of.

    Either you are attempting some type of humor (highly likely)

    Or you actually in some ways believe the nonsense you just typed and have true issues that are beyond anything anyone could understand through a message board.

    If there was no crime or collusion why are all you Repubs worrying so much about what they will find?

    Don't worry for Dotard - if he is innocent, it will come out.

    HO HO HO

    If the Trump campaign were colluding with the Russian government, then Don Jr would have simply declined the Russian wannabe's meeting! There would have been no need for the meeting if they had existing collusion. So this sham of a meeting is proof positive that there was no collusion. It turns out, the wannabe's had no information and it was a scam -- quite possibly a setup by the FBI or elements hostile to the Trump campaign. You might say, oh that's absurd, the FBI would never do such a thing. Well unfortunately the FBI is on record for having commissioned a fake intel dossier containing the Russian golden shower lies. This fake dossier then became evidence for the FISA court to get a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. Do you see how dirty this system is? Comey (FBI) and John Brennan (CIA) were openly partisan towards the Trump campaign and remain so to this day. This Russian charade is simply an information operation to reduce Trump's approval ratings and negatively impact his leadership. The Democrats, having been routed at the voting booth for years, have resorted to their last two power strongholds -- the media and the Washington DC bureaucratic establishment (Deep State), including the intelligence agencies -- to impede the will of the American people.

    Not one of your better efforts. By this logic who murderer who first kills someone can't be a murderer. If they were truly a murderer they would have already killed somebody. So the fact that they just killed someone proves they aren't a murderer.

    Been avoiding this thread and just waiting for the investigation to conclude... so haven't kept up with everything. Sounds like this guy is already making up his mind. GOP strategist, so whatever that's worth today.

    100% of the time, 100% of the people around Donald Trump (and Trump himself) had lied about the connection to Russia.

    The investigators have chosen not to disclose any. That can be because there are none or it could be that an indictment at this time could jeopardize the investigation.

    These are very serious allegations and they need to be investigated completely and thoroughly.
