    I agree Trump is an idiot. Who influenced the election more? The Russian troll farms or the American FBI via James Comey? I think Comey. Hillary thinks Comey. What do you fellows think?

    Dunno, but does it really matter?

    If the election was influenced then it was influenced but the end result's the same: Drumpf.

    There is no doubt whatsoever that the Russian troll farms had a sigificant impact. You only have to recall the outrageous BS they were trundling out and combine that with the general IQ of Trump's base to realise how easy it was for Russia to stir the pot.

    BBC is talking about this now and has come to the conclusion that Comey got Trump elected. CNN is talking about it now and covering the US testimony of Rosenstein and has asked him if he has any information the Russians did anything to present it to the Grand Jury - he doesn't. The Russians say they didn't do anything. Hillary says the FBI got Trump elected, BBC and most other realistic news sources say the FBI got Trump elected. I wonder why if so many people know that Comey got Trump elected that people here have not figured that out yet?

    Wow if that is not a crock of shit I do not know what is. Why do you right wingers feel compelled to lie all the time. I just turned on CNN to check that and they are covering the mass shooting that happened in Maryland today. Also CNN did not ask Rosenstein anything like that at all. They did not talk to him at all today. So how about the truth because clearly it is not coming from you. The only thing close to what you said is the comment made by Trey Goudy when he said basically the same thing to Rosenstein and to make it clear Rosenstein never said he had nothing to present to the grand jury that is a lie.

    BTW Trey Goudy is the same asshole who investigated Hillary and Bengazhi for 2 and 1/2 years and found no criminal wrongdoing. Now he is trying to tell Rosenstein to speed up the investigation. Why are all you right wingers such massive hypocrites?

    Rosenstein's not presenting anything because the investigation is still ongoing. Nothing at all out of the ordinary in that - it's just more GOP grandstanding and trying to subvert and undermine the process.

    And what is your point anyway? That Comey's influence was greater so let's just forget Russia attempted to influence the election?

    Hypocrisy is no longer viewed as a weakness by the GOP: it has become a political tool.

    Comey's last minute announcement about hrc's emails cost her votes. It also negates any conspiracy theories that the fbi was working to get hilary elected.

    Only way to believe the trumpo conspiracy snowflakes is to ignore the facts.....

    All the polls and every intelligent person in the world was predicting a Hillary win. Then Comey went on TV and said if it was anybody else but Bill's wife they would have prosecuted.

    That was the kiss of death because most people ignore the abysmal history of the FBI and actually think them a reputable law enforcement agency. How much money did the Russians spend? That's what you got to ask yourself. How much money does it take to influence social media. Media is media and it's expensive. The Russians don't have enough money to be a player. I've learned a lot from living in Pattaya and the first thing I learned was, "show me the money." I think most fair minded people understand that. Hillary was having an a lezzy affair with the wife of a NYC perv and classified emails ended up on the perv's computer to be publicized by the director of the FBI. That's stuff you can't buy. Proof that god is a Republican. Could the Russians think of anything that earth moving? No way. Not that bright. The dems asked the Brits for help (Steele ex SAS or something like that) and all he could come up with is a pee pee story. Now admit it, hasn't everyone had dreams about getting peed on by a Ukrainian supermodel?

    At this point you're reading like a Russian troll-spambot that's trying to distract and divert from Russian troll-spambots.

    Tosh.
    Facebook and other social media platforms are free.
    If Myanmar can afford to pay it's Tatmadaw propaganda staff, Russia certainly can pay it's legions of propagandists, especially when the prize is so big.
    Hasbara has been doing it for years for Israel.
    It is well established that there were countless Russian trolls spreading misinformation that appealed to Trump's base.

    At this point it has now devolved into a joke. Nobody can take someone spouting such nonsense in anyway seriously.

    anyway, in this instance, rep. waters was at a press conference and misspoke...she said 'korea' but based on the context was obviously referring to crimea...and she never said, "invade".

    Surely you can provide a link to the video of Comey saying that right? Of course you will not respond because you have me on ignore. Coward.

    Comey said, "The reason that the FBI did not recommend felony prosecution, however, is that investigators never found "a smoking gun," Comey says."

    I think that says the FBI would have recommended felony prosecution if they found a smoking guy (That means Hillalry actually holding a gun that was smoking - in her case ......anyone else would be in jail by now).

    Junior are you another one of these guys who is not an American but pretends to know something about America? I'll provide more detailed responses if you are.

    The "Hard Talk" guy just asked Comey why he leaked memos to the press. Comey said, "He gave memos to a friend and asked the friend if he would give them to the Press for publication and but that's is not a leak. The "Hard Talk" guy just asked Comey why he insulted Trump by calling him a Mafia Don, Liar and morally bankrupt. Comey said that was not an insult. My point being one needs to concentrate on what any reasonable man would think about what Comey says rather than accept a literal rendition of his words. In this case Hilly would be in jail if not Bill's wife I think is the accepted version of what he said. You can agree or not but I think that is what he meant and he leaked documents and insulted the President.
