  • Maria Butina, Russian operative arrested.

    Another Russian agent, this one on American soil, is charged and arrested for conspiracy in trying to get Trump elected.

    From your own source Jimmy:

    “CNN has previously reported that during the presidential campaign, Torshin worked with his protégé, Butina, as well as other associates, to try to arrange back-channel communications between Putin and then-candidate Trump. Those efforts appear to have been rebuffed by members of the Trump campaign, according to previous CNN reporting and documents that were provided to the House Intelligence Committee.”

    "The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

      Not there there was any Russian involvement in the 2016 US election, of course. Trump said so...Putin told him so it must be true.

        More wishful thinking Jim. Trump was not colluding with Russia.

          Oh, and you know this how? So far we have what 4 guilty pleas, Trumps campaign manager, P. Manaforts trial about to begin, the recent arrest of a russian operative connected to 2 unamed americans, and what, some 20 something indictments. Not to mention Trumps refusal to submit to questioning. Do you remember what he called pleading the 5th during his campaign? Guilty! Now you have Trump defending Russia and Putin and throwing his own appointed intelligence heads under the bus. Wake up and smell the coffee. Trump is a traitor, he has already colluded, he colluded when he wrote the lie concerning the Trump tower meeting with his son, his son inlaw, Manafort, and the 8 russians, and he just colluded again in defending Putin and discrediting U.S. intelligence.

            None of which are admissions of colluding
            Trumps campaign manager, P. Manaforts trial about to begin,
            which has nothing to do with colluding
            the recent arrest of a russian operative connected to 2 unamed americans,
            whose attempts were rebuffed by the Trump campaign
            and what, some 20 something indictments.
            none of which have to do with colluding.

            Yep, looks like wishful thinking from here. How's that nothingburger taste?

              I couldn't help but notice that you ignored my direct accussations of Trumps personal acts of collusion/conpiracy. I know, it hurts knowing you've been conned, doesn't it OBP? You know whats's worse? When you become aware that your support is aiding and abetting a traitor and you decide to continue in your support anyway. Huh, that would sort of make you a traitor too, yes?

                Okay Jimmy, give us a list of Americans that worked with Russia to steal the election, with evidence they did so. I’ll wait.

                  But, as CP said: "The Supreme Court is going in the right direction", so nothing else matters does it? Surely God is entitled to use a traitor to achieve his will.

                    So apparently the people Butina was colluding with included not merely Republican strategists, the NRA, top GOP leaders, but also a shady organisation called the National Prayer Breakfast which is a D.C. organisation that outwardly pretends to be about religion but whos members swear a vow of secrecy as to their activities and who keeps funding trips to different Eastern Europe countries for one of their leaders.

                    Hopefully this Russian investigation demolished the treasonous Republican swamp from its leaders on down. And if it takes out plagues on the country like the NRA, and fake religious entities like the National Prayer Breakfast, so much the better.

                      Guilt by association is always the best kind of evidence of guilt.

                        In this case those guilty associations go by the names "collusion" and "treason".

                          And how many Americans were arrested and charged with ‘collusion’ and ‘treason’? Got to keep that red scare going though, huh? I’ve read the article and others and as far as it looks, this is unlikely to bring down anyone of importance. Despite your desperation that it will.

                            Jim, you've been making those accusations ad nausaeum for the last year and a half. You already know my position on those.

                              But, after all that has come out, surely you have an opinion concerning Trumps guilt or innocence, OBP, yes?
