[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry I just don’t believe it.

I agree that Trump was the best way for Russia to destabilize the US. I also am convinced (by the evidence) that Russia interfered in our elections on behalf of team Trump. No question about any of that.

But this memo?  It’s too pat. Too much what a liberal (like me) would assume to exist.

It’s a good fake. But it’s a fake.

Prove it then.[/quote]

That’s not how this works. The memo has to be verified. I don’t have to prove that it’s fake.

I am a research scientist. Any time I see results that are exactly what I hoped for, I double and triple check my assumptions and experiment design so I didn’t create the answer I wanted. This feels fake to me and I will need it be validated thoroughly before I believe it. [/quote]

What's so confusing?  What's so invalid about it?
We already knew the Russians were conducting influence operations to help Trump in the 2016 election.  Senate Intelligence Committee report.  Mueller report (Internet Research Agency and FSB indictments).  That's all been established.  We knew Russia did this.

We just never, until now, had proof of a direct link of all of this back to Putin himself, nor deeper insights into the motives.[/quote]

It’s this proof that I don’t think will hold up. It’s like the Bush story that got Dan Rather fired.  The outlines are true. It sounds plausible. But the reason major outlets aren’t reporting this is that the document cannot be verified.  I am not saying anything in your first paragraph is wrong. [/quote]

DP.  What I do know is that the same Yahoo bloggers who were trying to disparage Poroshenko were the exact same blogger accounts promoting Trump.  I still remember the YouTube "Trump 100" recruiting ads Donald Trump made playing on Russian WWII anniversary parade videos.  It was no coincidence.  These guys need to be charged with sedition.[/quote]
