This was an uncharacteristically informative, concise, and on-topic response. As such, it deserves the same in return:
I have not seen any evidence that Russian were able to hack any voting machines and change anyones actual votes no.
However, The difference in this election was 77,000 votes.
No, the difference was several million votes apparently in Clinton's favor. You are making your assertion of 77,000 votes based on assumptions that Clinton could certainly never lose states like California or New York, and Trump certainly could not lose states such as Wyoming and Alaska. Late twentieth century and early twenty-first century elections demonstrate this is patently false. Certainly someone who was more qualified to be president than Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Reagan, etc., should have been able to pull off wins in states like Reagan or Obama did.
I believe that the disinformation campaign that Russia paid for more than influenced that amount of people to not vote due to false information about the democratic party and Hillary Clinton. ( Pizzagate, Seth Rich, Hillary laughing about a child being raped, stealing the endorsement from Bernie)
So, you're suggesting a handful of Russians speaking broken English with only a few tens of thousands of dollars to work with had a better information campaign than the single greatest human being to ever run for president? Is that seriously your position?
The questions about the child trafficking ring, about the murder of Seth Rich, etc., are just that - questions. Reasonable journalists on both sides raised the exact same questions. WRT Hillary laughing about getting a rapist off - she did. It has been pointed out that she was laughing that she lost all faith in (the totally disproven) lie detector tests, not at getting him off. But, the point is, THAT POINT WAS RAISED. No one changed anyone's mind with that. She actually did steal the primary election from Bernie - at the very least it has been demonstrated through those leaked e-mails that she rigged the elections.
2. I have not seen evidence that Trump worked with the Russian Govt directly.
The meeting in Trump tower is very suspicious to me not only because it took place but because of the numerous lies told about it by Trump and his son.
Trump's behavior toward Putin and his lack of confidence and unwillingness to support our countries intelligence community is also very troubling and suspicious to me.
You mean, other than the increased sanctions and chastising allies for supporting Russia? You know, drastically increasing funding for the European Deterrence Initiative, sending weapons to the Ukraine, improving the posture of American forces in Syria to attack even where Russians may be present (all SIGNIFICANTLY more harsh than anything Obama - the guy with "more flexibility" towards Russia - ever did).
I mean, we want to be completely unbiased, right?
3. We know that Wikileaks dumped DNC emails and that Russia tried to hack DNC servers all with 48 hours of Trump asking publicly for them to find those missing emails. If he is saying that in public i have little doubt that he or people working for his campaign were most likely dong that and much more behind the scenes. We also know that second dump of emails lead Comey to make a unprecedented statement warning of the new crop of emails which certainly didnt help Clinton.
Yet, Julian Assange specifically said that that first batch of e-mails did NOT come from a government source, and data revealed that the ONLY way the e-mails were taken off of the system would have been an INSIDER in the DNC downloading directly to a "thumb drive". See Seth Rich, and Podesta's e-mails regarding handling the situation of the "leaker".
The second dump of e-mails came from Clinton's girl Friday's husband's porn computer. The skeevie guy had her #### on it while sending dick pics to little girls. Had nothing to do with anyone else.
The "behind the scenes" actions had nothing to do with a foreign actor.
I would say given what we know it is ore than reasonable for Mueller to continue his investigation especially considering the amount of time he has been distracted by all the other crimes he has turned up along the way.
Other than Podesta, every other crime was CREATED by the investigation. He found some Russians and indicted them, knowing full well they'd never be tried. As Comey said, if you don't have something after a year, shut it down because you're a ####ty investigator if you don't know where it's going by then. It's been three years (pre-Mueller to present).
As much as everyone here hates Clinton I don't recall anyone saying the Benghazi investigation was going on too long or costing too much money. Why is this different?
There was a verifiable crime that was committed, not a hunt to find a crime.
I also don't recall Clinton tweeting everyone day about how she was persecuted and that it was a witch hunt. Why is this different?
Becaues Trump knows how to use Twitter, and Clinton didn't back then. She used other means to cry about how she was being mistreated, that's all that was different.
