So to keep score... we have now moved from "Colluding with the Russians! WE WOULD NEVER! FAKE NEWS!!!!!!".... to "Ok so we tried to collude with the Russians, but they had nothing useful for us we double pinky swear! So it's all fine... see?"
Still ok with this Trump supporters? Let's hear the rationalizations from Team Patriotism.
Seriously, take a deep breath and cool down.
So, what was his statement?
>>>“After pleasantries were exchanged,” he said, “the woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Mrs. Clinton. Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information.”<<<
Yup, total confession, except no.
Then we have the part about who she is.
A lawyer with an axe to grind(and getting well paid for it due to being hired by the people the USA illegally stole the US assets of(crooked people, no doubt there, but the US presidential fiat theft was pure theft zero law)). And long since infamous for getting people to at least listen ( possibly by paralyzing them by making their ears bleed (sarcasm...)).
However, despite how much various articles throw "Kreml-connected" around, she's about as much that as at least 20% of the US lawyers are "White House-connected".
You do get that that entire article is only trying to argue that yeah... they did it... but technically it wasn't "Treason".... just colluding with a hostile foreign government that waged a cyber warfare campaign against the United States to interfere in American elections.
Riiight...
You do realise that there's still not even a HINT of fact that suggests that the RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT had anything at all to do with it, and that it is still not even remotely shown even that it DID happen?
Where did you rational mind go? Do you leave it behind when it comes to politics?
talking about accusing Donald Jr. of brushing up against Treason is a Republican who worked for the Bush administration.
Uh, why don't you explain exactly how Don boy got close to treason? Legally.
Because even if EVERY SINGLE THING that has been claimed and thrown around is 100% true, that still doesn't make him a traitor or legally guilty of treason.
Which makes a lot of your statements hyperbole at best, defamation and crap at worst.
