It still stuns me. When I initially saw that I was aghast that she stated what so many of us suspected. She told the truth and a large segment of this country ignored her.

Media environment sets the bar higher for women, and higher for Democrats.

But they got screwed over by the electoral college system that favors low population, traditionally republican states.

Is a Russian agent. He is in debt up to his eyeballs to Russian Oligarchs and their money, as well as anything they have on him. They will go after his family before they deal with him, taking out the children first. Purin does not mess around. Once KGB, always KGB.

so he will try to anything for Putin that he can. and Putin knows this.

but he is too stupid to be an actual agent with orders to carry out a plan. but Putin will be happy as long as he can ruin the US as much as possible.

He doesn't pay back his debts, and if he didn't pay, he'd be dead already. What I think that he does is help the Russians launder their money around these sanctions. He's their cleaner.

They lose millions every year, and they cost many millions to develop... Eric said the money came from Russia. (He didn't say HOW, but laundering sounds plausible.)

I keep remembering that estate in Florida, that Trump sold for twice as much as it was worth. Then the "buyer" just tore it down-- $90 million. The only way that makes sense is that the Russian gave Trump the $, and Trump gave most of it right back. Laundering.

But he also knew -- at least it appears that he was not at all surprised or shocked at what she was saying. He knew. He knew.

How do you define conspiracy or collusion when it comes to cyberattacks that interfere with our elections? That will be the question in this case.

He obviously knew that what she was saying was true. That's my opinion anyway.

He shows no surprise, no amazement, no shock. At the end, after thinking about how he should "show" his reaction, he shrugs. But when he hears her talk about his being a puppet and Putin pulling the strings, he listens and in my opinion agrees with what she is saying and is impressed that she dares to say it.

Just my opinion. I have no information beyond the news and this video clip.

And now... I feel my blood pressure going up again.

She knew. Obama knew. The right thing to do was to hold a press conference or television interview, whether it appeared partisan or not, and to have informed the American people (as much as possible) about how Russia was inserting itself into our election process. F McTurtle, F bipartisanship.

She was facing attacks from every side. Obama had the bully pulpit of the Office of the Presidency and he should have used it. The other side would not have hesitated to do the same.

President Obama NEVER had the amplification services of the media.

Fox News would have outright ignored the announcement.

The other outlets would have a panel of at least equal or better makeup of Republican pundits or Congress to blast it as “politics”.

Even after the annoucement of the death of Bin Laden, the MSM entertained people claiming it may not have happened, or GOP questioning, as ever, the President’s authority to do so or minimizing his role.

Let’s be realistic about how such an announcement would have played when the MSM would drop everything to tske any incoming call from Trump.
