Did the British spy on Trump and tell Obama?

And as we know from the Trump campaign… Candidate Trump shied away from making claims about his opponents that weren’t 100% verified.

Again, as the two year Russia/Trump hysteria proved, you don’t need real evidence to make claims about illegal activities. If you have real evidence, you have to prove it and the authorities will be asking about it.

The information would have been meaningless unless they divulged the ultimate source? That statement cannot be taken seriously. I agree with the other poster. There is no way you possibly believe that’s true.

What in the literal world makes you think the trump campaign would have felt any obligation to divulge the source? Trump won’t even release his own tax returns, and we’re supposed to believe his campaign was preoccupied with transparency and sourcing information?

I can see it now…Don Jr. holds a press conference to reveal to the public that the dirt he obtained in Hillary actually originated from Russian intelligence services. ■■■■ out of here dude.

Exactly. You don’t need evidence to make claims. And if you do have “evidence,” in the context of a campaign, you sure as hell don’t have to divulge it, ever.

After the no collusion conclusion, it does… Look at all the countries that interfered in our elections.

If one reads the Mueller report, one would see a willingness on the part of the Trump campaign to meet with assets that were considered Russian Intelligence.

The fact that it was so brazen that British Intelligence thought it was crazy should tell you something.

How come the left keeps making such claims without any quotes from the report. The tower meeting was debunked long ago. No American was found to collude. And that’s 12 angry dems looking for it…

Jesus. Here’s what the report said about that meeting:

“On the facts here, the government would unlikely be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the June 9 meeting participants had general knowledge that their conduct was unlawful," the report reads. “The investigation has not developed evidence that the participants in the meeting were familiar with the foreign-contribution ban or the application of federal law to the relevant factual context.”

Mueller declined to charge Donald Trump Jr. for meeting with Russian lawyer

They didn’t think they’d be able to prove that Junior and the others knew what they were doing was illegal. Does that help you? I know you’ll just ignore this.

Information, had they been given any, does not constitute a contribution. And if it was, Hillary and the DNC would be just as guilty.

If nothing was done wrong or illegally, then I’m sure dimocrats won’t mind it happening to their candidates.

Thanks in advance.

No, I don’t want Russia picking my president.

Lets fantasize it happens your way. Don Jr. holds a press conference saying that Hillary did bad stuff but I can’t tell you the evidence or where it came from.
Yeah. CNN is going to let it go at that and blast Hillary for unsourced accusations.
You don’t really believe that. (see…anybody can say you don’t believe it)

The Report confirms that the June 9, 2016 meeting was just what Don said it was, and nothing more,

Oh? So it was just about Russian adoptions and nothing more?

Here’s an article from 2017 that says they did. And they were not the only ones…

Always a conspiracy. Always a fairy-tale.
That stuff is great in kindergarten, not in the adult world.

Do you have proof otherwise?

You think the Trump meeting was just about Russian adoptions like Don Jr said?

If it’s not paid for, it sure as hell does.

So no you don’t have any proof.

Well, I guess it isn’t proof since Donald Trump Jr does seem to be a congenital liar but we can look at Donald Trump’s words:

“After pleasantries were exchanged, the woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Ms. Clinton,” Trump Jr. said

Seems the meeting was about a bit more than Russian adoptions if we can trust Donald Trump Jr.

It was only 4 years prior that Obama said the 80s called and wanted the Foreign Policy back. They also had the whole “Reset” thing, and Obama was on Hot Mic stating he would have more flexibility after the election.

Given all that, why would Trump look at them as the “Enemy” of the US? It would seem normal to me for a Presidential candidate to try to make foreign connections among friendly nations.

Obama was wrong

I have no problem saying that.

To add to this a little.

The “flexibility” hot mic thing is one of the more overblown things to be leveled against him.

When one actually understands what the conversation was about and the result of said conversation, one would actually feel silly continuing to repeat it.

Obama’s great foreign policy mistake pertaining to Europe. was miscalculating the brazenness of Putin and what he was willing to do to reestablish Russian dominance of the Near Abroad and push back against NATO encroachment into his backyard.

So yes… during the Presidential debate, Romney was correct and Obama was as wrong.

History has 20/20 hindsight that way.

komobu · 2019-04-25T17:47:48.105Z

Perhaps you misunderstand me. My point isnt that Obama was a lousy President (That is a given), it is the hypocrisy of our media when they did nothing but publish stories on how Russia was our “Friend” and then chose to chastise Trump for meeting with our “Friend”

They were wrong.

I have no problem saying that

At the time, it wasn’t nearly as apparent as it is now. Bad assumptions were made on the false notion that Russia, who has the economy the size of Italy and was at the time very much a political basket case, didn’t pose as great of a danger as they actually did.

Romney was right, Obama was wrong.

No one should have a problem with people changing their opinions based on current information

Shhh don’t tell anybody.

burrack Insano in his tiny little braino and the rest of his Democratic Politician cronies,
like to project things in general.

Hillary, Obama, and several other Democrat Politicians colluded with Russia, and once she lost the election they had to cover everything up and blame Trump for it.

If there was any other spying on Trump, and Obama new about it, it wouldn’t matter
for several reasons. 1. Obama is a democrat, and there is a two tier justice system
in America for Democrat Politicians, and the Left wing drive by Fake News Media. lol.
2. They’re Democrats and therefore innocent automatically in anything and everything that they do. On the opposite side of the spectrum though Judge Kavanaugh was presumed automatically guilty without due process almost and his reputation almost ruined, just because the Dem Dem Politicians were **** hurt that Trump was able to put 2 judges in there. lol.

The mouse eats the Cheese, The Cat eats the mouse, The dog eats
the Cat, The Wolf eats the dog, but who eats the Wolf?
I do! I do.
