so basically putin helping the trump campaign before he was president. links and coordination. i'm sure they're going to find a lot of information because putin seems sloppy like that.

I would just add that the Russians did likely attempt to influence the election, like they have with every major election across Europe recently, but it was in no way coordinated with the Trump campaign. Russia is just trying to expose liberal democracy fraudlies and doing an outstanding job of it at the moment.

average person sees the Prime Minister's statement, clearly knows it comes from the PM, and can evaluate his endorsement in context

average person sees the email leaks and hears bad things about Clinton, immediately unclear who was behind the leaks, Trump supporters deny it came from Russian, etc. The average voter doesn't have the same motivation to evaluate the information with the full context.

I agree that it doesn't change the importance of the information. BUT we should all call out Russia's meddling for what it is at the same time. Let the public decide after getting the entire story.

At the same time, don't bitch about anonymous sources and leaking if its true, if you're going to make that argument.

Wasn't it traditionally the job of the media to investigate and expose the fraudlies of our government and leaders?

Is there anything that Russia has exposed that turned out to be false?

In essence, aren't they just doing the job of the press before they were partisan hacks?

I'm not trying to be snarky or sarcastic with these questions, I'm just generally curious.

>Wasn't it traditionally the job of the media to investigate and expose the fraudlies of our government and leaders?

The MSM has been doing this and you guys won't stop bitching about "anonymous sources" as if that hasn't been a thing for the past 50 years. You all accused the media of being partisan hacks when the original Flynn leaks happened, but isn't that the kind of thing the American public deserves to know?

But yes it is the job of the media and yes they don't engage in that type of behavior as much as they used.

BUT the transparency argument doesn't work when Russia CLEARLY favors certain candidates over others and only releases information designed to damage one side. Trumpmos could have made this entire thing go away pretty easily if they would have just admitted that Russia meddled in the election and did it to delegitimize our democracy--which everyone with at least 3 brain cells acknowledges was their intention from the beginning. The minute Trumpmos tried to morally justify all this shit is when you guys opened yourself up to attacks of collusion.

But didn't the election cycle and the whole Flynn thing show that the media only does their job with regard to the side they disagree with?

If not for Russia leaks, the public would have been completely in the dark about the DNC literally colluding with Her Campaign.

As for the anonnous sources - my beef is that there is no corroboration. At least during Watergate the WAPO corroborated their leaks from Deep Throat with real investigation and coroboration. Now they just fucking print anything an anonymous "current or former official" tells them.

The NYT broke the Clinton email server story initially. Does that not count as "doing their job"?

If multiple sources independently tell you the same thing, does that not count as corroboration? I don't think any of these stories recently haven't had at least multiple people verify them.

They covered it after the Benghazi investigstion found the evidence. The same committees that they and every other lib called show trials.

Not sure on number of sources - my understanding is that the most inflammatory stories have been sourced by very few individuals, if that.

The entire Russia thing is so that libs can delegitimize Trump's presidency. Now imagine what they would have said and how they would have reacted if Trump had said "yes, it looks like Russia tried to influence the election." they would literally argue that his win was invalidated and Hillary is the "rightful" winner of the election.

Trump just had to say "they tried to influence the election and they shouldn't have". It would have made Trump look reasonable. Trump admin's impulse to go on the attack gave the appearance they had something to hide.

It doesn't matter if it was reasonable. Any admission like that and libs will say Russia DID influence the election and therefore it is null and void. It doesn't matter how ridiculous that is, that would become the story. Nothing Trump said would have made this go away because it is virtually impossible to prove a negative.

you were never going to convince EVERYONE that Trump didn't collude, but you never going to EVERYONE that Obama was born in the US either. Trump's actions caused enough doubt that now the GOP has to go along with it. Being reasonable would have at least make it an untenable mainstream position, which is all you can ask for lmao

Russia has an interest in destabilizing and eroding western institutions. They knew that Donald Trump is a temperamental barely literate reality TV show host who would damage US institutions and run the country poorly. They supported his candidacy through leaking damaging information about Hillary (who sucks -- I'm not defending her) and by paying trolls to foment support for him online. Their investment has paid dividends beyond their wildest expectations.

I don't think there was direct collusion. He was a useful idiot and Putin exploited that.

God damn it we needed Jim Webb.

No. The problem is that libs are causing a huge crisis without people having any sense of what is at the core of that crisis. Did the Russians actually hack? If so did they make up information about Hillary? (Most important) Did Trump somehow bless (I don't even know what the allegation here is)this "hacking"? In the end who is really at fault here-- every country tries to influence the leadership of other countries and, knowing that, does it make sense to get caught with your fucking pants down by allowing yourself to get hacked?

This. Also, let's for the sake of argument assume it was the Russians (which, I'm not at all convinced it is) and in fact Russian intelligence. If US intelligence thought it could easily hack senior Russian party leadership and exploit that info to their benefit, are we saying that we definitely wouldn't do that? Because I'm pretty sure we would do exactly that.

This is why anyone with half a brain takes significant steps to secure their data.

Putin knew trump would be more willing to let Putin run roughshod over Eastern Europe and more likely to support lifting sanctions on Russia. Putin goons got in touch with Trump goons and let them know they had damaging info on both parties and would release the DNC/Podesta shit if Trump agreed to the above approaches. He did (see the change to the RNC platform right after the Russian stooge visited with Sessions at the convention) and there you go.
