    Merely discussing potentially buying dirt on an opposition candidate doesn't mean that candidate is "compromised"....or when the Hillary campaign purchased the Steele Dossier, seeking dirt on Trump from foreign intelligence agents, it would mean she was compromised.....or when she was indirectly paid 500k by the Russian government for her support with the Russian purchase of Uranium One, it would mean that she was compromised......or when she was indirectly paid 1.5 million dollars by the largest Swiss bank after intervening on their behalf and give them favorable terms to end a lawsuit by the US, it would mean she was compromised....I could keep going but I think I've made my point here. For whatever reason it's okay when one politician does all of that, but if another takes a meeting to potentially buy some dirt on that politician, it's evidence of being compromised.....because tribalism I guess.

    if some actual evidence of legal wrongdoing appears, we'll have that conversation, but as of now there hasn't been any. Unethical behavior? Perhaps, but not illegal.

    Why did they lie so much about this meeting? If it was no big deal, something we should accept, and had no legal improprieties, why lie like a rug for more than a year about this dumb meeting? Gee whiz, it's like you thought it was wrong or something.

    So now we've moved onto the B in DABDA.

    "Collusion, even if it happened, isn't a crime."

    Let us read from our holy book. Page 69. Psalm 13:37

    The Narcissist's Prayer

    That didn't happen.

    And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

    And if it was, that's not a big deal.

    And if it is, that's not my fault.

    And if it was, I didn't mean it.

    And if I did...

    You deserved it.

    Amen.

    ...I'm just glad that somebody's managed to keep all of these lies straight...

    ...I got lost way back when all of this was about some rogue coffee boy who couldn't tell his hot chocolate from his ice coffee...

    ...if I'd known there was this kind of money to be made from hats (black ones, white ones, red ones, et al)...

    ...I'd have bought stock in a hat-rack manufacturer ages ago...

    You are aware that Ukraine is not Russia, correct?

    Notice how neither Russia nor Trump even was raised at today's opening day for the Manafort trial? Does anyone still think this case is anything more than political prosecution/persecution? Jailing political opponents because you have contempt for them. There are no depths to which these unhinged, deranged liberals will not stoop. Liberals have been using the Manafort indictment as justification for the Russia probe for months, yet now we know that it actually has nothing to do with Russia at all. The shameless lies that the libs will tell truly knows no boundaries.

    GOOD DAY

    You do realize that Viktor Yanukovych was a Putin backed puppet who was aggressively anti EU and NATO?

    traitor George is too ignorant to know that
    • both Mueller and his boss are life-long Republicans. so was Comey.
    • Manfort had offered to give the Russian Oligarch, oleg peradoska, the inside scoop / briefings on the Trump campaign, as a means to payback the $ Manafort owed to the Russian billionaire

    Then why didn't Mueller charge Manafort for anything related to Russia? No evidence, just like you?

    Honestly, you have no clue what you are talking about. You can't even spell the Russian oligarch's name, much less explain how this is somehow linked to Putin or affected the 2016 election. You are not smart enough to engage with me. I am a well-read man of means. You? Likely an under-performer.

    GOOD DAY

    @Clutch , is there a way for you to change the line in my avatar under Trader_Jorge to read, "Well-read Man of Means"? Thanks and I appreciate all that you do for us.

    Best personal regards,
