Robotic Jew Posted October 13, 2019 #2551 Share Posted October 13, 2019 On 10/11/2019 at 7:07 PM, Harte said: It was an offhand comment related to the investigation of corruption in Ukraine in a phone call concerning finding the origins of the "Russian collusion" hoax. There was nothing whatsoever illegal about anything Trump said, and such types of conversations are common among cooperating heads of state. Harte If it's so common can you please provide examples of past presidents asking for their political opponents to be investigated by a foreign country? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harte Posted October 13, 2019 #2552 Share Posted October 13, 2019 As soon as you give me examples of a political party asking other country's leaders to help undermine ours. I have to say again that you should read the transcript of the call, and not just the news stories that omit hundreds of words between the request made by Trump (cooperation on getting to the bottom of the weaponization of the intelligence community) and the offhand remark about Biden. Trump has made it known that the DOJ is investigating how the collusion hoax started, and Ukraine is deeply involved in that. On top of that, the investigation into Burisma Holdings was reopened well before that phone call, and also the Ukrainians didn't even know that their aid had been held up at the time.

This is what happens when fantasy goes too far because the mad king won't listen to anyone . While it's starting more and more to look like sedition to me (especially in light of the bipartisan Senate report just released about Russian interference) Trump spreading conspiracy theories against the US isn't illegal (well not provably yet anyways) . Trump using the US taxpayer funds to force a nation to manufacture the appearance that those conspiracy theories are real however is.

All that was released was Trump's summary of the call and he's an objectively worse source than anyone the WP or NYT quotes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manufacture? That's in the transcript, I suppose? Request... no... Demand to manufacture...? It isnt in the transcript Farmer. It is possible to imply there was a demand. With calling on Trumps history and some poetic license. But I dont see anything that even implies manufacturing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes manufacture. When all investigating intelligence agencies foreign and domestic , including bipartisan senate oversight, agree that Russia hacked the DNC in an attempt to help Trump get elected trying to coerce an investigation into Crowdstrike is manufacturing an investigation. I know the die hards are still holding onto the well debunked conspiracy theories, and thats fine on a personal level, not so much on a using taxpayer funds level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no hard fast evidence of request to manufacture anything. Its presumptive, and shouldnt be even under consideration, except it makes excellent media fodder... WHAT IF???? Are you still on about Trumps joke about Wikileaks and the DNC emails? Mueller put that to bed, I thought. Zero actual evidence of intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did mention Crowdstrike. But I thought it was in context of getting servers supposedly in Ukraine, not to investigate Crowdstrike in any way. I thought he was just saying because of Crowdstrike, the FBI never got the DNC server, and he'd still like that server. Which, still, is whack, and I think the comment was ignored, at least that's how I read it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who of us gets to refuse the FBI for an outside source? They are worried about the FBI but not some company who may leak everything imaginable OR are you more worried about other crimes the FBI might find than a corrupt (foreign?) company that will say whatever you want them to for big bucks. The FBI not pursuing getting the original hard drives is unfathomable as well, right? Some one pretty high up had to say "Leave that alone." for them to accept Crowdstrikes "results".

Just the opposite, Farmer. Trump has every reason to be suspicious of Crowdstrike of falsifying their report to the DoJ at the behest of crooked democrats that got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. It gives a way for Dems to change focus from their own misdeeds costing the election and focusing on Trump as the culprit. If you want, I can list my evidences. But the truth is, our DoJ/FBI never had anything to go on inre, Russian collusion except the REDACTED report made up by Crowdstrike. That's it. The FBI was not allowed to examine that mail server. Sad to say that Julian Assange of WikiLeaks claims that Russians had nothing to do with it and nobody believes him. Oh, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this sound flaky to anyone else? BINGO, Skliss! Why oh why would the DNC not allow the FBI to examine the server??? This just is not right. Crowdstrike, btw, has been caught falsifying reports before. How hard would it be for crowdstrike to take the report they made from examining some *other* server that was cracked by Russians, and simply redact it and hand it over to the DoJ?? Simple. The biggest reason to think that the Crowdstrike report is quite questionable is that they have a direct relationship with the head of the DNC then, HILARY ROTTEN CLINTON! Hilary, who ruined her own run to the white house with her overzealous cheating, and now so anxious to get negative attention off of her and placed on Trump Say no more? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i said it before this is what happens when no one will tell the emperor he has no clothes. Youre posting conspiracy fantasy. Thats fine , you believe whatever you want to believe, POTUS using taxpayer funds to act on those beliefs that have no basis in reality and only benefit him politically however isnt OK. 5 hours ago, Earl.Of.Trumps said: Sad to say that Julian Assange of WikiLeaks claims that Russians had nothing to do with it and nobody believes him. This is how absolutely bat **** crazy this all is. Even Bill Barr, the very guy helping the mad king with his conspiracy hunt, has openly admitted that Assange is a Russian asset. Its blatantly, nakedly, political. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
