    And Podesta hid his ties to Russia. No news here. This thread will be on the second page before lunch. This board is for trump bashing only.

    she didnt just admit they spied on Trump, she admitted they purposely leaked the info to the press because they were worried about spoliation of the evidence due to how they got the information. What an idiot. How could she not realize to keep her mouth shut?

    Why is it that you find this uninteresting? is it because you already knew he was being spied on? Because really no citizens are affected or hurt either way?

    She said that they had information on his ties to Russia and that they were trying to preserve that info and the methods they used to get said information before Obama left office. Nothing about him being spied on personally or that Obama personally ordered it like Trump's tweets claimed. This has been known for a while, I remember reading an article about something similar in January, this is nothing more than the pro-Trump people trying to make something out of nothing to distract from all the smoke coming out right now around Trump's associates and Russia. Hence why the only people taking this seriously are Fox News and the buffoons on r/the_donald.

    Yes, in fact, Podesta's Russian ties were so strong that the Russians hacked his email account and handed the contents over to Wikileaks to expose to the world. What a beneficial relationship that was for him! Seriously, it took all of 2 seconds worth of using logic to blow your ridiculous BS out of the water, try using some common sense.

    Why would Farkas do anything spearheaded by Fox 'news'. It's always a trap! No one is that naive

    Following the liberal blueprint on redirection i see:
    1. Rewrite the narrative to interpret facts the way you want to see it.
    2. Discredit actual information that has been proven to be accurate
    3. Claim that this information is old news and not warrant present attention.
    4. Tie everything back to Trump and Russia
    5. Bash the source of information.

    Hard to have real discussion if you cant focus on substance...

    This is old news, I was a little off on my guess that a similar article came out in January, it was actually about a month ago. I'll even do you a favor and present it from your favorite source:

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...ct-between-russians-and-trump-associates.html

    There's nothing new here whatsoever. In fact, your thread title is an outright lie, she said nothing like what you're claiming. The only thing remotely close to that is her saying "The Trump folks, if they found out how we knew what we knew about their, the staff, the Trump staff's dealing with the Russians, that they would try to compromise those sources and methods." Nothing saying they spied on him personally or that Obama ordered it like Trump claims, it's a vague statement that you're trying to warp into a confession that they spied on Trump. Another shining example in the world of FAKE NEWS.

    Are you dismissing the information about Podesta's ties to Rusnano or has that not reached MSM yet?

    'preserved Russian hacking intel' = spying on Trump??

    Also, is the OP claiming that Trump should never be subjected to anything from spy agencies? Don't touch him at all? He's above the law kind of thing? Or is OP claiming that Trump was right with his tweet that Obama wiretapped Trump based on this video? ... OP care to clarify?

    Just give it up, Trump lied and was called out on it.

    Farkas said nothing about Obama spying on Donald Trump, in fact she said nothing that wasn't known in January.

    He sat on the same board at Joule as a Russian banker, wow, what a smoking gun. If being in the same room as a Russian is an indictment, then Trump and his entire team should already be in prison. The fact that you find that to be in the same league (or worse apparently?) as Trump associates meeting with Russian counterparts numerous times and then lying about it says it all.
