    Huber did literally nothing.

    Durham has a criminal investigation into your beloved Russia hoax. Weren't you cheering on Mueller? lol

    Biden is not out of the woods and neither is his coke snorting son, Hunter. At least he settled with the stripper he knocked up. What a complete loser.

    I guess you are back to supporting Bernie. :)

    Yes, he did. We have the sound bite, it went viral as people laughed at what an idiot he is.

    It's comical that the Russians can spend $600k and sway an election but Hillary spends $1.2 BILLION and still loses. Maybe the Democrats should hire the Russians

    They were also "helping" Clinton, as there goal wasn't to "help" any candidate either way, but rather to foment discord, and sow distrust of the US elections system.

    I was smart enough to spot Russia's dumb facebook Jedi mind tricks, and just ignore the whole farce, but some people took the stupidity seriously and ran with it to ridiculous extremes.

    Which way did you go?

    The fake dossier only helped one candidate. Rigging the primary against Bernie only helped candidate and she still lost. lol

    Here you go.

    The Republican Senators asked, “Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee hired a retired foreign spy to work with Russian contacts to build a dossier of opposition research against her political opponent, Donald Trump. Under the House managers’ standard would the dossier be considered as foreign interference in a U.S. election, a violation of the law, and/or an impeachable offense?”

    House Manager Hakim Jeffries claimed that was different because the Clinton’s paid for it.

    “The analogy is not applicable to the present situation because first, to the extent that opposition research was obtained, it was opposition research that was purchased,” Jeffries responded.

    Purchased by a private citizen vs shaking down a foreign govt using the power of the presidency.
    It’s like comparing a bank robbery to an atm withdrawal lol

    Yes, they spent about $2,500. I’m sure that swayed the election.

    LOL - The DNC used assets in the DOJ/FBI/Russia and other countries to produce a fake dossier that they paid millions for.

    Durham has an open criminal investigation into the Russian hoax.

    The DNC needs better security. And Trump had nothing to do with that.

    Yes, people can make stuff up. Your article is likely taken out of context. There must be video and I would bet what he actually said was edited. Opposition research is not extortion and wasn't it a Marco Rubio donor who initiated this research to begin with?

    Hillary or the DNC?

    DNC got hacked by someone because they are stupid and have no security. Most likely another Chinese spy hiding in the party. Hillary may have been an inside job. Download speeds as I recall, are too fast for a remote connection. More akin to someone doing it onsight.
