Federal election law prohibits foreign donations to political candidates.

That is not treason per se

That is criminal violation of Federal Election Laws if it occurred by a candidate, or his representatives, before or during an election cycle.

I agree 199% with you there it all seems a little to convenient. Trump jr and Kushner were not political but Paul Manafort certainly was. So why Manafort was there and just didn't look at the email and go STOP is a perplexing question as he would of known the implications.

Just give the gander what is good for the goose and be done with that. Putin ( who is NOT a saint) may yet save the western world from a self destruction, you should appreciate his effort...:thumbsup

It doesn't matter if you don't see a crime.. The FBI will see it as a crime, because it was.

I'll try to explain it assuming your being honest..


Russia was attempting to interfere with our democratic election process. They hacked the DNC & the RNC and who knows what else.

Now here comes Don Jr attempting to take info from the Russians for the sole purpose of affecting the outcome of the election. That is conspiring to commit election fraud. Just because they didn't get the info they wanted doesn't mean it's no big deal..

You steal someone's wallet only to find out there was no money still makes you a crook.


Don Jr, Kushner and Manafoprt all attempted to conspire with a foreign actor for the purpose of uncovering a suspected crime which would then have effect on the out come of the election.

They were required to pass this info to the FBI, not attempt to acquire it for personal/campaign gain.. Added to this Kushner went on to lie about this meeting on his security clearance form. This is a very big crime in and of it's self.. People have their security clearances revoked for simple shit as putting the wrong amount of debt on it. Yet here we have Kushner lying about meeting with a foreign agent trying to pass info on a political candidate to affect our election. That is a serious crime..

Also with out a fucking doubt this woman was a foreign agent. She was former Russian lawyer at the Kremlin or what ever her position was but she was claiming to be "brokering" info about criminal activity of a political candidate that was coming directly from the Kremlin and she was trying to get something in return. She was trying to affect official US govt policy.. She probably wasn't KGB or what ever the Russians call it but she was acting on behalf of the Russian govt..

Also I wanted to add.. you can't look at this meeting as a isolated event. It shows a pattern of willingness to collude with foreign agents and now add this on top of all the other issues Trump's campaign has sounding them with Russian involvement.

Before we saw there were players involved who had suspicious Russian contacts and almost all of them lied and tried to cover it up. Now we see them actually meeting and attempting to gain info which they were told was coming directly from the Kremlin. This is extremely damning information..

It's a very BIG SOMETHING Burger.. Fox News and Joushamo can claim all day it's nothing but they don't matter.. the FBI & the Special Counsel matter and this will matter greatly to them..


Also on the Kushner front we learned in the last day or two that he attempted to get a 500 million dollar load from Qatar. They wouldn't give it to him and now he was sitting on the presidents ear telling him to take a hard line against them and side with Saudi Arabia..

This is a major scandal in and of it's self but it was over shadowed by Trump Jr's dumbness..

Jared Kushner 'tried and failed to get a $500m loan from Qatar before pushing Trump to take hard line against country' | The Independent

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...-advised-trump

Report: Kushner sought deal for $500M bailout from ex-Qatari prime minister - CBS News

This current admin and the people in it are dirty as fuck and they don't give a rats ass about making America great again. They want to enrich themselves..

Originally Posted by crockett (Post 21885940)

What is in the media matters little to the investigation.. The media is simpl;y doing it's job to keep govt held accountable and release info to the public.. Media in the US job is not to speak the word of Trump.. Unlike RT in Russia who speaks directly what Putin tells them to speak.

No, it does not usually work that fast.

With Nixon, the FBI investigation of Watergate started in early 1972, the impeachment hearings didn't start until May 1974.

With Bill Clinton, Ken Starr was appointed as independent counsel to investigate Whitewater in 1994. Inpeachment proceedings did not start until 1998, so it took 4 years for that whole thing to go through the process.

We are at the beginning of the investigation into Trump, not the end.

Just imho, of course.

Putin is a crook stealing from his own people there are Russian documentaries about this he's also taken rights away from gays and muted the press that speaks against him by imprisonment and murder because he's a dictator.

Russia needs a new leader, yes!

So, I do believe that Putin is the last "great white hope"... Because the rest are pissing away the cultural traditions which are almost 2,000 years old.

I also hope that Assad will remain as the only real force fighting ISIS...( with the Kurds close second)... I am also a big fan of Duterte who is chasing ISIS out of Mindanao...

...and to all the leftists and the rightists who believe Russia is our enemy??? gfy

Trump is doing the wrong thing and hooked his son & son in law into doing the wrong thing. Those two apples don't fall far from the tree. So much lying, so much deception and for what? To work with Russia, a foreign adversary, to throw the election in their favor.

The Republicans are getting what they wanted and the majority think everything is great. Unfortunate.

You know it's so obvious you're defending Donald Trump. I mean, you love him enough to go out of your way to look up the definition of treason and then copy and paste it to confirm that he's innocent and absolved of all crimes he's most likely committed. At least you would think he's guilty if you can add 2+ 2 and slide on a pair of pants without putting both legs in one side. The things even a half retarded monkey could figure out.

Just get the fuck off the Russians ...they are NOT your enemies. They will save your ass as they did in the 40ties. They need another "great patriotic war" So, do not provoke them as both sides the libs and the conservatives are doing. Let the Jihhadist do it. Instead treat them as friends and they will protect you....You and me the members of the great but "decaying" civilisation.
