It's difficult to believe...

[kentuck]

that the FBI and NSA have been so busy tapping phones and recording calls, that they would not have a call from Donald Trump to Putin somewhere in the mix?

And maybe both Democratic and Republican leaders know about it? But they maybe have made a deal?

They would not want Trump to resign right now because people might insist that Hillary be named the winner of the last election?

So, they will wait until everyone is sworn in and then ask for his resignation, or else he would be impeached? Republicans keep the Presidency and control of the government.

My own little wishful conspiracy theory.

1. I've been saying the same thing...

Could the NSA be in a bind where if they told anyone about Trump's Russian calls, they'd have to admit how deeply they spy on us?

[kentuck]

3. President Obama says that he has more information to put out to the public.

Nobody knows what information that might be?

2. If only.

Talk about a late Christmas present.

4. It's very possible that something could be going on behind closed doors

that only a handful of people on both sides of the aisle know about and are keeping mum until all hell breaks loose once they have enough proof to nail Trump. At this point, one can only hope.

5. All kinds of things could be going on behind the scenes...

Whether any of it ever comes out is questionable. My own conspiracy theory is that there is blackmail threatened against one or more Republicans by the Russians based on their hacks.....

6. My mom believes that is why Trump won't take intelligence briefings

that the CIA knows what he has been up to, and Trump knows it.

[kentuck]

7. There could be an element of truth to that theory.

If I don't go to school, the principal can't suspend me.

[NobodyHere]

8. How does that make any sense?

[kentuck]

9. Because...

Trump doesn't give the CIA or NSA any credibility. He listens to Mossad for briefings. If the CIA has no credibility, how can they pass judgement on Donald J Trump?

[NobodyHere]

10. They can leak a story to CNN or Huffington Post or whoever they want.

[kentuck]

11. The people mostly ignore these parts of the media.

The only thing they might believe is if both Parties presented a consensus that Trump was unfit to be the President?

[BainsBane]

12. We know Russia interfered with the election

We know that Trump has campaign staffers, present and former, that are very close to the Russians and been on their payroll. We know some of those same staffers have been in communication with Moscow during the campaign.
We know that Trump has repeatedly denied Russian involvement.

It's not such a leap to think he was in on it. We have no evidence to indicate that, but she doesn't present her view as anything other than a theory. I think it's a plausible one. Trump's denials suggest complicity.
