US Officially Blames Russia

[Skeptic Ginger]

Let's also remember that we now know that must have been the worse possible wording he could have used about Hillary's "crimes" , and if he could have used anything more politically damaging he would have done. Another way of putting the same thing would have been "there was no case to answer"

Given that Comey would have also been investigating or at least known about the Russian Trump connection, I have no respect for the man at all. Though I have to think it was ignorance and bad decision making rather than outright corruption.

Of course. The reverse would mean that anyone ever accused of investigated for anything bad should never be trusted again, and that'd just encourage people to make false accusations.

FTFY. At least, that seems to be the standard when anyone who isn't a Republican is concerned.

IMO, Trump's problem isn't stupidity, it's ignorance. Putin I think has been able to exploit this to his advantage.

Trump's problem is stupidity compounded by ignorance.

And to make matters worse, the ignorance is willful. Anything which casts doubt on something he believes to be true isn't considered an opportunity to learn, it is seen as a personal assault on his success and integrity that must be suppressed with extreme prejudice.

I don't see this changing anytime soon.

Nothing about the spy ship or the treaty-busting missile, but damn that Obama for being soft on Russia.

At least he has finally realized that Crimea was taken by the Russians.

It took him a while (years?) to catch up with that news.

This would be my guess. Destabilising governments is a popular hobby of several states.

And Republicans love to destabilize our own governments.

Removing any shred of a doubt as to why Trump is running and what will happen.

If Trump becomes President, Putin will run America.

...if only there were signs....
