Here's a big hint: Trump lies ALL.THE.TIME. So, I don't believe a word he says. Whatever he denies I can pretty much assume is in fact true. |
I am surprise Rudy's comments admitting the Trump Campaign used stolen materials provided by the Russians isn't getting more discussion here. |
How come Trump hasn't come out to condemn Russian interference with our elections?
|
Maybe because that is not what Giuliani said. Stop reading Think Progress. |
Giuliani says there's "nothing wrong with taking information from Russians" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rudy-giuliani-says-theres-nothing-wrong-with-taking-info-from-russia/ RUDY GIULIANI SAYS “THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH TAKING INFORMATION FROM RUSSIANS” https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/04/rudy-giuliani-nothing-wrong-russians-mueller Giuliani: "Nothing Wrong" With Taking Information From The Russians https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/04/21/giuliani_nothing_wrong_with_taking_information_from_the_russians.html Rudy Giuliani: There's 'Nothing Wrong' With Trump Campaign Taking Information From Russians http://time.com/5574863/mueller-report-giuliani-nothing-wrong-trump-russia/ Giuliani says using Hillary Clinton dirt hacked by Russians was OK https://nypost.com/2019/04/21/giuliani-says-using-hillary-clinton-dirt-hacked-by-russians-was-ok/ |
And I bolded the portion of your original comment that was taken from Think Progress. |
Read the articles, dumbass:
|
Wait, are you disputing that the materials were stolen? Or stolen by the Russians? |
Rep. Nadler has subpoenaed Don McGahn.

Let's be honest though. Giuliani was right when he said that if it's wrong to use stolen materials from foreign adversaries, then why did the media release the stolen material? The fruits of Wikileaks - the DNC and Podesta emails - weren't off limits. If this is so egregious, why were they not savaged for doing so? They went to court to defend their right to use this information. |
The campaign and Candidate Trump specifically knew ahead of time about the stolen material. Did they notify the FBI? Did they make a public statement pulling all such information off limits for the campaign? No, the weaponized it and used it to their advantage. Given the communications between the campaign and Wikileaks, if it is demonstrated that there is a hard connection between the GRU and Wikileaks, then there would be an international conspiracy against the US Election that the Trump campaign actively participated in. A big if, but it is out there. Is that ok? |
I am the PP you are criticizing. I don't read Think Progress and I did come up with those words on my own. Sorry to disappoint you. |
Holy crap - this is very detailed and specific. Wow. I really thought Nadler was backing off, but this says otherwise. Is it possible these investigations will move forward at a steady pace while Pelosi and the Dems avoid impeachment proceedings? |
They are going to conduct investigative hearings. They just won't be labelled as "impeachment hearings."
If the facts warrant, then the house could take up impeachment. If they don't, then it is what it is. |
