    The evidence points more to their success at helping Hillary lose...Trump's issues are going to be money and taxes in my view...not an election

    You need to get over it and agree that Clinton was so bad she couldn't beat Trump. Or Bernie, without cheating and rigging the primaries.

    I completely agree with that! Which makes it even more outrageously stupid that Trump's campaign colluded with the Russians. It's like they didn't believe in Trump himself.

    CNN and MSNBC Helped Russia Sow Discord by Promoting Fake Anti-Trump Rally

    One of the revelations in Friday’s indictment handed down by Special Counsel Robert Mueller was that alleged Russian attempts to sow disunity in 2016 included the organization of both pro- and anti-Trump rallies in New York City on the Saturday after Election Day.

    A check of their November 12 coverage showed both CNN and MSNBC gave enthusiastic coverage to the Russian-organized anti-Trump rally that day, with live reports every hour. Correspondents celebrated the idea that it was “a love rally,” and repeated the marchers’ anti-Trump mantras, such as: “We reject the President-elect.”

    While the two liberal anti-Trump networks offered heavy coverage of the anti-Trump rally throughout the day, a check of coverage between noon and 5:00 p.m. Eastern found that the Fox News Channel offered only a short re-cap (66 seconds) at the start of their 4:00 p.m. Eastern hour.

    :lol:

    Michael Moore Participated In Russia-Sponsored Anti-Trump Rally

    Progressive director Michael Moore participated in an anti-Trump protest in New York that was organized by Russians, according to information released Friday by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

    Rosenstein announced indictments from Special Counsel Robert Mueller Friday against 13 Russian nationals for meddling in the 2016 election, highlighting how the Russians used social media to stir up strife and anger on social media using memes and unwitting Americans to do their bidding. One Russia-sponsored event was a protest of then President-Elect Donald Trump on Nov. 12, 2016, called “Trump is NOT my President,” and it involved Moore.

    :lol:

    The smoking gun!

    Mueller Charges Lawyer With Lying in Russia Probe
    An attorney who worked for a prominent law firm was charged with making false statements to federal authorities as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian collusion in the 2016 presidential election.

    Alex Van Der Zwaan was charged Feb. 16 in federal court in Washington with lying to investigators about conversations related to a report he helped prepare on the trial of a Ukrainian politician, Yulia Tymoshenko. Van Der Zwaan was charged with a criminal information, which typically precedes a guilty plea.

    The whole Russia thing ultimately is the establishment refusing to acknowledge their agenda was soundly rejected in a democratic (small d) election (and many elections, several different years).

    "It wasn't really you, it was those clever Russians who duped everyone and forged all those e-mails that showed your candidate and party machine's true operation."

    Oh man! If this whole thing resulted in the indictment of Michael Moore, all could be forgiven of the assistant AG! Or at least over looked here.
