https://www.democraticunderground.com/12512189115#post11. I want to know if Russian intelligence is feeding this info to Trump
Given Trump's many complimentary statements about Putin, I hope some intrepid reporters do some serious investigation. Would make Watergate look like a parking infraction in comparison
If only more of us weren't so blind back then to what should have been so obvious.

Thinking Putin was working w Trump campaign was a minority position for a long while.

(37,648 posts)Remember when Trump called out to Russia from his podium, "Russia, if you're listening, find those missing Clinton emails," and then the emails were released within days?
I noticed that as an instruction to Russia at the time, and said so (not in this forum), as did others. When he won on 11/8, I wondered if Russia had arranged the election, since it didn't make sense.
We all noticed his complimentary statements about Putin, to the point that Clinton referred to him in one of the debates as a PUTIN PUPPET. His response, "No puppet. No puppet. You're the puppet."
With all due respect, many noticed or thought he was a Putin Puppet, from the summer of 2016.

(10,237 posts)One was to continually obsess over Hillary Clinton's emails and to echo every rightist smear of the past 30 years without fact checking at all.
The other was to ceaselessly fawn over all that was Trump because he'd be "good for ratings!"
PEACE!
