Seems that there was collusion with foreign agents after all, just not by anyone on the Trump team.

"Sad!"

And here's Mark Feygin pretending she wasn't in McCain's Office with him and McCain

I guess she must have just taken the picture of the two of them  posing together by remote control camera before posting it to her Facebook page. And notice the way he implies that's she can't have been their because she's pro Putin even though in reality she's making various anti Putin (and anti Trump) posts on her Facebook page.

The anti Trump people have obviously been cooking up this bogus Trump/Russia conspiracy theory for some time (as you would expect).

Im not sure who your trying to convince @EnglishPete but its not working.

I told you he I'd trying to convince himself cause deep down he knows this will not have a good outcome for Trump

Again, Trump could be a child rapist and English Pete would argue the kids tempted him.

Or that its OK or "just part of the culture that only grown ups understand".

Just having some fun discussing politics on a message board like you.

Nah, I think you'll find pedo apologism is more something for the far reaches of the politically correct left.

Really? Last I checked, Milo is definitely the exact opposite of the "politically correct [sic] left."

LOLOLOLOLOL at Hugh Grant using those words in that order.

Very good summary of the situation so far

[EnglishPete]

Kushner's influence has diminished after the Comey firing. Bannon took on Kushner against everyone's advice and won. Bannon's back in favor, and expect his role to grow. Bannon is a classic "son of a b****" that you want in your corner when the temperature rises and everyone else runs for cover.

I will add regarding legality that it probably depends on what was actually exchanged, which we do not know. As far as we know, there may have been nothing exchanged and the collusion attempt failed. Talking is not something of value.

I don't think it matters, the email shows intent.

"Information" is a rather vague word. I think the idea that speech is a "thing of value" is quite a stretch. The emails do open the door to the possibility that something of tangible value was exchanged, though. Certainly, if services such as information gathering were offered to and accepted by the campaign, that would be something of value.

Opposition research (or in this case...hacked emails...) are most definitely a thing of value.

I see. So if the Clinton campaign had asked for favourable coverage and puff pieces in the Mexican owned Carlos Slim Blog that would be illegal.

Funny, typically you meet with lawyers to get out of trouble, though it doesn't always work out that way.


Trump seems to have found a way to get in trouble by meeting with a lawyer.

Atlas members,
Don't let EnglishPete derail this thread.
If his hogwash theories are not worthy of a response, don't respond.
If he tries to steer the topic somewhere else, don't respond.

Walked into that one. Especially because that isn't just a fellow Rightist, but a fellow alRight, too.

I mean, even the InfoWars headline says that "Democrats are calling for investigation," not "Infowars, etc. under investigation."
