How do we know Trump, Putin, (and) Comey weren't in cahoots? (Original Post)

(28,866 posts)1. Trump and Putin definitely were.
My feeling is that Comey was compromised later,
but I could be wrong.

he got trapped in a Catch 22.

(3,739 posts)4. I think as the investigation continues into the Russia/Putin hacking
that there could very well be evidence of communication between Trump and/or his campaign people and Putin or the hackers during the campaigning. Trump and his shills are way too defensive and I don't buy that it is just because they feel this is undermining his "legitimacy" as President Elect.
