    If Russians are looking to help the mega capitalist Trump instead of the obvious classical Communist Socialist Bernie then

    THANK GOD that maybe
    the old USSR that Bernie so loved is truly gone forever

    Helping Bernie would be a logical move.

    Because the Russians want another Trump Term and they think that Bernie will be the easiest to beat.

    How would we know that for sure? You could really be Russian or trying to use reverse psychology, I'm so confused right now.

    Any chance you can put that in a meme to convince me for sure?

    I agree. Its a bs lie by the left handed, to delegitimize Trump's impending victory. The last time the russians "interfered" they bought some facebook ads....

    ooh scary

    Besides, theres nothing Russia can do to affect elections that the democrats cant do better. Its not like the Russians are going to call for an independent council, or impeach a duly elected President.

    Currently they are watching Bloomberg outright buy the Dem Party's nomination before their very eyes; but they are not explaining how Putin is responsible for making that happen and nor why collectively they have not risen up in arms over it. Apparently interference doesn't mean what they think it means:

    The Russkies are going to support Trump over a Soviet-sympathizer who rocked the Hammer & Sickle in his office and honeymooned in Moscow.

    "three sources familiar with the matter tell CNN" :lol:

    I wonder if the Dems are so concerned about Russia that they'll wait 3 more years to try and impeach the President for it again?

    I'm just so confused how you consider previous DNI Maguire a "member" of the left??

    That's the part nobody can explain away... He toed the Trump line by breaking the law about notifying Congress of the WB complaint. Would a lefty or Deep Stater have done that?

    Can YOU explain it?

    Trump decided against nominating Maguire for the post on a permanent basis after learning a member of his staff, Shelby Pierson, gave a classified briefing last Thursday to the House Intelligence Committee regarding election security, the newspaper reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

    The specific contents of Pierson’s briefing are unknown, but Trump appeared to believe she had given information specifically to Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) that would be beneficial to Democrats if made public, the people familiar with the matter told the Post.

    Trump was furious and held Maguire personally responsible when the two next met, the Post reported, resulting in a “dressing down” by the president and which served as “the catalyst” for Trump ultimately opting to appoint Grenell.

    I have no idea the full connection between Trump and Putin.... but I suspect there is one and I will one day.

    Obviously, Trumps failure to fully support the Zelensky/Ukraine government is of potential benefit to Putin, so that's one of the visible ones.

    Our intelligence agencies say Putin is helping Trump be re-elected so I now consider that fact, even if you do not.

    Yah, mostly true... taking the ridiculous and potentially unconstitutional response by Trump out of the picture, why was Maguire put in that post to begin with if he's not allowed to do the job he's required to do??

    The thought that Pierson gave something SPECIFICALLY to Schiff borders on full-blown paranoia. It was a full House Intel briefing.

    And on THAT topic, why didn't we hear about this briefing and result from Leaking Shifty Schiff? Could it be he managed to do HIS job and keep that closed door intelligence under wraps??

    I'm VERY curious to see how both Richard Burr and Schiff will respond to this...

    This entire story is just another example of why Donald Trump isn't remotely fit to be president.... of my Homeowners Association..

    Na. Trump can fire anyone,who works for him, for virtually any reason, and does on a regular basis.

    Our intelligent agencies... who are they saying these things through? Is it not through the House Intelligence Committee? And who runs the House Intelligence Committee?

    BINGO! Mr. Pencil-neck! :D

    That's what the Mueller report concluded. Why should 2016 be any different than 2020?

    Not the firing of Maguire... I couldn't care less about that guy, who as I said, clearly was a major part of breaking the law earlier...

    But you do need to face the fact that Maguire isn't some Obama holdover.. he was hand picked by Trump only months ago.

    Objecting to the regular briefings of the House Intelligence committee, and specifically objecting (in some way) to the CHAIRMAN of the that committee being involved runs the clear risk of violating the separation of powers...

    I mean SOMEBODY has to be briefed on this stuff... clearly Trump doesn't participate in that process...
