seems like Russia collusion is an ongoing problem

guess the full force of the US govt and IC should have been able to prove it then

Nunes and several staff even traveled to europe to discuss this idea further, after the midterms

The IC cannot reveal their sources and methods, it would interfere with their work, but that's why we have intelligence committees and fisa courts.
We also had several Trump campaign and transition team members with Russian connections, some lying about those connections, etc

lying UNDER OATH about those connections, excuse me

well then you should be able to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt

Why was Trump trying to build a tower in moscow while running for president?

depends on what the goal is. To put somebody in jail for 20 years? Can probably be done , but it would require revealing sources and methods, so that would only happen if the 'catch' is bigger than the ongoing intelligence collection

to just get somebody fired, not so much

Why have multiple high profile russian gangsters happened to find a home in Trump tower?

Why did Manafort of all people have to be his campaign chairman?

Hitler drank milk and Trump drinks milk...bla bla bla

actually some interesting books about HItler being a possible british Agent

it's so obvious to you guys + Trump is a buffoon + the entire Intel Apparatus on the case = should be able to prove something

but nope

Well the connections are known, we know people met with other people, whether those people were cut outs or not would require a more intense investigation, 10+ russian intelligence officers have US indictmetns out but obviously they aren't going to come to the USA, Butina back in Russia getting a nice cushy job

If people are lying about meeting russians and then proven to be meeting Russians, that is proof of something

I don't believe for one second that all of their communications weren't available to investigators

text, email, phone calls, everything

There's trump people in jail right now for exactly that

so unless they did all this over cans and string, I don't get it

Roger Stone being the 3rd or 4th

ok, but where's the evidence that Trump is a Putin puppet?

I mean Flynn lied about talking to a Russian ambassador about sanctions and then later they were able to prove the phone call

he must be a criminal mastermind

then he began cooperating

No, not Trump. but the Russian intelligence services are professionals

They are the main reason why we have such a large intelligence community

I think there's more to the Flynn thing than you're letting on

That's the situation he got in trouble for

yes, but what's happening now

Trump is more likely to be a useful idiot than a direct puppet.

multiple things, we have two guys in SDNY getting indicted, one is preparing to talk about the situation wtih Rudy, nunes, and Ukraine

He's probably more effective not directly working with Putin that he would be with the reverse.

Trump is being impeached for the Ukraine deal, he is also spreading the Ukraine-intererence narrative, etc

In the case of Nunes, he was involved in the story but didn't recuse himself or come clean about that, due to a SNAFU in the record keeping involving the transition period after midterms

which the Ukraine guy is saying was intentional timing

His lawyer is claiming that a bunch of shit was withheld from them

> Powell’s motion seeks to force federal prosecutors to provide Flynn an array of documents withheld from his attorneys and to sanction government lawyers for their failure to provide relevant evidence to the defense team in a timely manner. When and how Judge Sullivan will rule is unclear.

> Then, mere days after the final briefing came in, federal prosecutors found themselves forced to admit that for nearly three years, they had wrongly identified the authors of the handwritten notes taken by the FBI agents during their January 24, 2017, interview of then-National Security Advisor Flynn. Prosecutors had told defense counsel (and the court) that the notes written by Peter Strozk had been compiled by FBI Agent Joe Pietka, and those taken by Pietka had been written by Strozk.
