    The extent of "Russian meddling" in the election was a few Facebook ads. Meanwhile it has been proven that illegal aliens actually voted in our election.

    Why are democrats not concerned with that foreign influence in the election?

    This started in 2014 before Trump was even considered a contender so Russia sought to help Bernie and Stein to begin with. Where is their SC?

    "Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit form a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities," Mueller wrote in his report released Thursday.

    Why should he cover it up?

    It's not illegal to have someone give you dirt on your opponent.

    In the end, the fact remains... no collusion, no obstruction, even though if you or I were Trump, we'd be more than happy to hear damaging news about our opponent.

    Did the locker room tapes help the Clinton campaign? So then they must be guilty of collusion with whoever released them, right?

    Trump wins again, like we all said he would.

    Obama ignored it as well, since they were aware of it months before. Must have thought it wasnt a big deal.

    Why do you just make stuff up and post it? Does it help you deal with the 2016 election loss?

    Move on, 2020 is right around the corner. You can vote for another Obama clone fascist if you wish.

    Someone phished Podesta's email to get access ... and then damaging email found it's way to Wiki. The email wasn't stolen from gov't servers, and gov't secrets weren't posted by Wiki. There's lots of forgetfulness on the Topic. Bet Sander's memory ain't foggy though. ::):

    Fabricated lie. The Mueller report specifically states that Trump and his campaign refused any and all help from Russia. Why didn't Obama try and do something? Obama knew Russia was interfering and he did nothing. Trump even complained about it but it turns out Obama was allowing Russia to interfere on his behalf.

    Reminder:

    WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Tuesday tore into Donald Trump for sowing suspicion about the integrity of the U.S. election, telling the Republican presidential nominee to “stop whining” and focus on winning votes.

    Obama called Trump’s intensifying, pre-emptive warnings about voter fraud “unprecedented” in modern politics. The rhetoric is not based on any evidence, Obama said, but is simply aimed at discrediting the election before the first votes are counted.

    “You start whining before the game’s even over?” Obama said at a press conference. “Then you don’t have what it takes to be in this job.”

    Well, we do not know if the DNC was actually hacked. We only have their claim since they refused to turn over their servers. Then there is the Podesta email phishing incident. He wasn’t hacked, he was duped.

    Not one vote was changed.....it seems election meddling has been a common thing in the past. Funny how it is only a problem when democrats lose.

    If Republicans bring in a bunch of right wing illegal aliens to vote will illegal immigration suddenly become a problem?

    Now we know why Obama said this and switched gears:

    Obama and his Administration were the ones doing all the spying and rigging the elections. Only switched to Russia after he knew he would get caught.

    And... how does this prove your claim that:
    "He may not have colluded before hand, but he certainly tried to cover up that Russia was helping him."

    Personally, the way I read it is, number one, Russia wanted to sow distrust in our electoral process and if as a bye product, Trump won, so much the better. They succeeded in the the first and I assume very happy about the second.

    Russia is the big winner in all of this. No so much because Trump won but the the polarization and hyper partisanship it cause with the Democrats trying to destroy Trump. It keeps our government dysfunctional and give Russia a freer hand on the world stage. I'd say this was a big win for the Russians. Everyone of us has played right into their hands.

    there will be a price in 2020, but I don't think Trump will be paying. The Democrats have made themselves look very foolish in the Kavanaugh hearings, on the border issues, and in this investigation. I know many Independent voters, myself included, that did not vote for Trump in 2016, but will likely do so in 2020 as it is a better option than any Democrat running. Though I might even vote for Howard Schultz if I think he has a chance of winning.
