Didn't a hot microphone pick up President Obama telling Russian President Dmitri Medvedev he would have more flexibility to negotiate on issues like missile defense after the election? Is it a bad thing? I don't think it was, because part of my "intellectual filth" is for diplomacy, even with country's we don't see eye-to-eye with. I was critical of the outlandish claim that it was some grand 007 operation when it was just a bunch of wonky social media posts. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/business/russian-ads-facebook-targeting/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.d6b04f03b625 https://www.philly.com/philly/news/politics/presidential/facebook-russia-fake-posts-trump-election-clinton-20171006.html Hell, I actually agree with the 2A meme from the Philly link. Were their not other social media posts from Pro-Hillary supporters that were equally wonky? Is it your position we should censor this information because some people are too naive and we need a government regulatory agency to protect them from disinformation? Do you think this could lead to the government censoring groups that are actually reliable and sound in their investigations and facts? Slippery slope gonna be slippery. And I wouldn't be upset in your scenario Brad. Talking down to me like your some cult leader and I'm a follower of yours is rich. "They revel in their own intellectual filth" really makes me lol....- The Robert Mueller Investigation
An anemic online campaign that included roughly 35K social media posts=most successful intelligence operation in their history? I know most on the left here want to think this persuaded gullible people online to change their votes to the Trump over Hillary, but I find that hard to believe. Music....how does one face it?- Donald Trump 2019

Isn't "Huge Attack" kind of embellishing a bit? I find it a bit ironic that the we've been meddling forever in other country's affairs and we currently have people like Hugo all over the country doubling down on the Russian hysteria for some two-bit trolling done that was compared to "Pearl Harbor" from folks like Jerry Nadler. It sounds a little loony and demands a big tin-foil hat.- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Speaking of our money....- The Robert Mueller Investigation
On December 9 and 10, 2016, the New York Times and the Washington Post independently reported that anonymous senior intelligence officials had told them that, based on intercepted communications, the intelligence agencies agreed that Russia had hacked the Democratic National Committee to help Donald Trump win the election. Their evidence was the fact of their access to U.S communications intelligence. A flood of subsequent stories also cited allegations by “senior intelligence officials” that “intercepted communications” and “intercepted calls” showed that “members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election.” Incontrovertibly, the officials who gave these stories to the Times and Post violated the Comint Statute, and are subject to the “10 and 10” for each count. There is no clearer instance of what the governing law is, of how it was violated, and of the punishment that this incurs. Consequently, there is no clearer indictment of our legal system than the fact that no one has been prosecuted for these violations, much less punished. Nor is there any doubt as to who at least two of these “senior intelligence officials” are: Former CIA director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Beginning in January 2017, Brennan and Clapper made essentially the same statements on national television. The only possible excuse—that their allegations were lies—is irrelevant because the essence of the violation is the revelation that U.S intelligence was monitoring the communications of the Russians in America, and those of the Trump campaign as well. This is true, and that revelation is a textbook violation of the Comint Statute. The reasons no prosecutions have followed should be plain enough. The offenders are big people, in the permanent government and in the Democratic Party. They have a great many friends in the U.S Justice Department. From the top down, the Trump Administration has been filled by much smaller people. Loud words aside, the president has kowtowed to the intelligence agencies in every way imaginable. No prominent Republican has chosen to challenge the de facto privileged relationship between Democrats in the intelligence agencies and the media. And so, Brennan and Clapper continue as living proof that the United States has a dual system of justice. The example of their impunity speaks louder than any speech, and reassures their leftist successors in the intelligence agencies that their channel to the Times and Post is as safe as ever. Politics is not responsible for the non-application of Section 798 to Brendan and Clapper. It is difficult to imagine that the public would not approve massively the straightforward application to prominent men of a law that is so unambiguous, which is the foundation of arguably the main part of U.S intelligence, and which has been applied countless times to ordinary people. Rather, the absence of real politics—of real competition between opposing sides in American life—is the culprit. What we see is that those in the upper echelons of American life, whether they call themselves Republicans or Democrats, have greater loyalty to the ruling class to which they belong than to any law or institution. The refusal to apply Section 798 to Brennan and Clapper —the fact that they are free men —is simply the most obvious manifestation of the fact that we have a ruling class, that it is coherent, and that it has yet to be challenged in any serious way. Just a reminder while you guys are doubling down on a conspiracy theory that Trump conspired with a foreign Country to interfere in the election, that we have actors within the IC that are immune to any repercussions for actual conspiracy and violations of the Comint Statute. Keep in mind, a Presidents time in office ends when their term is up, they lose a re-election, or they get impeached, but these morally bankrupt, above the law, non-elected officials that act with impunity are rampant and need to be held accountable. Can you imagine if they were being scrutinized with a fraction of the zeal and fervor as Trump?- The Robert Mueller Investigation

Maybe tell that to the people who are clamoring to impeach Trump over “obstruction” rather than impeaching him for violating the War Crimes act when he vetoed the War Resolution Bill to stop our involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen.- The Robert Mueller Investigation
