Trump Server Connected to Russia?; Update: NYT Reports no Connection

[Speed of Sound]

Maybe we can cull the discussion about this article from the other two threads and plop it in here to get it rolling.

Nothing will happen as usual.

Sorry, but this is a nothingburger. It proves literally nothing and any hacker worth his salt would have routed communications though proxies which cannot be traced.

Doesn't matter.

We're on a short time frame before the election now, so the most important factor is whether the story catches on for 1 or 2 days.

Remember, the Comey story was nothing to begin with, but it was the presentation of the story that created the shock. If it weren't for Clinton's quick handling of the story, she could have suffered significantly, despite the Comey story being nothing.

This demonstrates the exact depth of partisanship in America. Now we get to see just how low the absolute floor for major party candidate is.

[Devout Centrist]

Nothing's going to come of this

[Erich Maria Remarque]

So Putin hired Trump for 5 years ago to run in 2016 elections? OK

But didn't say him to clear his taxes and not join/start Birther-movement? OK


And if this is true, Putin is really a good leader and played out Obama, FBI and you-name-it, no?

This is blowing up. It's happening.

[Phony Moderate]

If they got to him 5 years ago in the view of him becoming a serious presidential contender then they make Nate Silver look like J.J.

[Cashew]

His supporters could care less.

[IceSpear]

B-b-b-b-ut...Hillary sent emails!!!!!

[Erich Maria Remarque]

If true, James Bond sucks compared to this plot

[Fusionmunster]

An actual Manchurian candidate.

This is blowing up. It's happening.

And yet another WTF 2016 moment: a major scandal involving a Republican nominee being too close to the Russian government. I wish that old fatso from Wisconsin were around to see this.

[RI]

lol. Digging the bottom of the conspiracy barrel here.

[IceSpear]

If they got to him 5 years ago in the view of him becoming a serious presidential contender then they make Nate Silver look like J.J.

2011 was when he surged in the polls after the birther comments. Remember, he never ran, but several hypotheticals showed him leading the pack.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

It's kind of telling how supposedly some vague stuff about Hillary and emails will send her numbers collapsing and her supporters fleeing but for this supposedly none of Trump's supporters care.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Still not seeing this on CNN anywhere.

We'll see. But right now it is really hart to believe in this.

But Trump is acting strange towards Putin..

[Old Man Willow]

How would the Russian government be able to assume that Trump would be able to win the GOP nomination? Or even come close? It was shocking for the entire world.

[IceSpear]

Putin used Wikileaks!  It's super effective!

But seriously, is this news?

WTF? If Putin is using wikileaks and Trump then he is attempting to turn America into a satellite state.  YES IT IS NEWS!!!!! Far bigger then the emails.

The cognitive dissonance is beyond bizarre. It's horrifying and depressing.

And the sad part is, at least 45% of Americans would prefer the US to become a Russian satellite state rather than have a president who is a Democrat.

So in your mind committing Treason is nothing? Got it.

No, I'm just being realistic.
