FBI sought nuclear documents in search of Trump's home -Washington Post

[Emjay]

I said there's no evidence proving his involvement. Circumstantial evidence though says he was involved he just distanced himself to provide plausible deniability. The beneficiary of Russia's campaign was Trump and his campaign and the people who got prosecuted worked for Trump. They had nothing to gain in their personal capacity.

Tell us how many impressions did those Russian adverts or social media posts have? Then, tell us what percentage of the overall impressions for 2016 election they had.

Then come back here and tell me with a straight face Russiagate was anything but a load of BS.

Read the investigation report. Or the Wikipedia post on it. It's interesting that you, a layman, would think your biased opinion is worth more than the opinion of professionals.

I should just go ahead and write a script that reposts the link to the five volumes of *Republican* led Senate report on Russian Active Measures Campaigns and Interference in the 2016 U.S. Elections.

Fox "news" on this, and by news I mean the largest show on cable news showing a photo of Jeff Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell with the judge who signed off on the warrant's head photoshopped over Epsteins.

Man, but the crazy is really coming out of the woodwork now. It's almost like they are worried about something.

I'm just here, sipping a coffee, remembering that one time the FBI's James Comey went on teevee to announce that they were reopening an investigation into Hillary Clinton... *eleven days* before the Presidential election... with no new evidence whatsoever, while also hiding an active FBI investigation into Donald Trump from the public.

Good times.

Oh man, listening to golden oldies like the Senate Report just made me add the Mueller Report on the Investigation Into Russian Interfere in the 2016 Presidential Election to my playlist...

It's just a complete mystery to me how judge after judge after judge is allowing Dominion's Billion Dollar defamation suit against an esteemed and honourable and honest news outlet like Fox to proceed.

Just a complete mystery.

At least one lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump signed a written statement in June asserting that all material marked as classified and held in boxes in a storage area at Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and club had been returned to the government, four people with knowledge of the document said.

The written declaration was made after a visit on June 3 to Mar-a-Lago by Jay I. Bratt, the top counterintelligence official in the Justice Department’s national security division.

The existence of the signed declaration, which has not previously been reported, is a possible indication that Mr. Trump or his team were not fully forthcoming with federal investigators about the material. And it could help explain why a potential violation of a criminal statute related to obstruction was cited by the department as one basis for seeking the warrant used to carry out the daylong search of the former president’s home on Monday, an extraordinary step that generated political shock waves.

It also helps to further explain the sequence of events that prompted the Justice Department’s decision to conduct the search after months in which it had tried to resolve the matter through discussions with Mr. Trump and his team.

Trump Lawyer Told Justice Dept. That Classified Material Had Been Returned

The lawyer signed a statement in June that all documents marked as classified and held in boxes in storage at Mar-a-Lago had been given back. The search at the former president’s home on Monday turned up more.

Read the investigation report. Or the Wikipedia post on it. It's interesting that you, a layman, would think your biased opinion is worth more than the opinion of professionals.

So, you can't answer a basic question as to the extent of such interference. I'll give you a hint. It was less than 1% of total social media engagements. And no, I don't trust Wikipedia, which is not an unbiased or correct source when it comes to political content. I read the entire Mueller report after his investigation and there was no proof of collusion. Suggest you do the same.

The launching of the investigation into Trump was based on an unverified dossier produced through funding by Trump's opposition. Not a single allegation in the dossier was found to be credible after the investigation. So, in YOUR OWN WORDS, tell us what credible evidence there exists that Trump was colluding with the Russians.

See, what Greg won't say is that that "investigation" was on the basis of the Steele Dossier which has been thoroughly debunked.

Zero honesty, as usual.

And the feds failed to establish that Hillary acted criminally.

The Trump investigation was active at exactly the same time.

Two investigations. One statement from the FBI.

This is just fact and not up for debate.

Voters deserved to know about both just eleven days before going to the polls... but they didn't.

Only one campaign was damaged by the FBI.

128 838 342 votes in total. Hillary got 2 868 688 *more* than Donny, but 77 744 votes in three states decided the winner.

You seem to have trouble reading. I said investigations by the US concluded that Russia interfered in the election. Your %s mean little in that regard, I mean what % impressions do you consider sufficient to make a different to the election. And meddling in an election doesn't necessarily that they would succeed, but in this case they probably succeeded in swaying sentiment against Hillary which helped Trump.

So, they were innocent, yet lied, obstructed investigations,

The Special Counsel investigation uncovered extensive criminal activity​

• The investigation produced 37 indictments; seven guilty pleas or convictions; and compelling evidence that the president obstructed justice on multiple occasions. Mueller also uncovered and referred 14 criminal matters to other components of the Department of Justice.
• Trump associates repeatedly lied to investigators about their contacts with Russians, and President Trump refused to answer questions about his efforts to impede federal proceedings and influence the testimony of witnesses.
• A statement signed by over 1,000 former federal prosecutors concluded that if any other American engaged in the same efforts to impede federal proceedings the way Trump did, they would likely be indicted for multiple charges of obstruction of justice.

Russia engaged in extensive attacks on the U.S. election system in 2016

• Russian interference in the 2016 election was “sweeping and systemic.”[1]
• Major attack avenues included a social media “information warfare” campaign that “favored” candidate Trump[2] and the hacking of Clinton campaign-related databases and release of stolen materials through Russian-created entities and Wikileaks.[3]
• Russia also targeted databases in many states related to administering elections gaining access to information for millions of registered voters.[4]

• In 2015 and 2016, Michael Cohen pursued a hotel/residence project in Moscow on behalf of Trump while he was campaigning for President.[5] Then-candidate Trump personally signed a letter of intent.
• Senior members of the Trump campaign, including Paul Manafort, Donald Trump, Jr., and Jared Kushner took a June 9, 2016, meeting with Russian nationals at Trump Tower, New York, after outreach from an intermediary informed Trump, Jr., that the Russians had derogatory information on Clinton that was “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”[6]
• Beginning in June 2016, a Trump associate “forecast to senior [Trump] Campaign officials that WikiLeaks would release information damaging to candidate Clinton.”[7] A section of the Report that remains heavily redacted suggests that Roger Stone was this associate and that he had significant contacts with the campaign about Wikileaks.[8]
• The Report described multiple occasions where Trump associates lied to investigators about Trump associate contacts with Russia. Trump associates George Papadopoulos, Rick Gates, Michael Flynn, and Michael Cohen all admitted that they made false statements to federal investigators or to Congress about their contacts. In addition, Roger Stone faces trial this fall for obstruction of justice, five counts of making false statements, and one count of witness tampering.
• The Report contains no evidence that any Trump campaign official reported their contacts with Russia or WikiLeaks to U.S. law enforcement authorities during the campaign or presidential transition, despite public reports on Russian hacking starting in June 2016 and candidate Trump’s August 2016 intelligence briefing warning him that Russia was seeking to interfere in the election.
• The Report raised questions about why Trump associates and then-candidate Trump repeatedly asserted Trump had no connections to Russia.[9]

• The Mueller Report states that if the Special Counsel’s Office felt they could clear the president of wrongdoing, they would have said so. Instead, the Report explicitly states that it “does not exonerate” the President[10] and explains that the Office of Special Counsel “accepted” the Department of Justice policy that a sitting President cannot be indicted.[11]
• The Mueller report details multiple episodes in which there is evidence that the President obstructed justice. The pattern of conduct and the manner in which the President sought to impede investigations—including through one-on-one meetings with senior officials—is damning to the President.
• Five episodes of obstructive conduct stand out as being particularly serious:
  • In June 2017 President Trump directed White House Counsel Don McGahn to order the firing of the Special Counsel after press reports that Mueller was investigating the President for obstruction of justice;[12] months later Trump asked McGahn to falsely refute press accounts reporting this directive and create a false paper record on this issue – all of which McGahn refused to do.[13]
  • After National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was fired in February 2017 for lying to FBI investigators about his contacts with Russian Ambassador Kislyak, Trump cleared his office for a one-on-one meeting with then-FBI Director James Comey and asked Comey to “let [Flynn] go;” he also asked then-Deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland to draft an internal memo saying Trump did not direct Flynn to call Kislyak, which McFarland did not do because she did not know whether that was true.[14]
  • In July 2017, the President directed former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski to instruct the Attorney General to limit Mueller’s investigation, a step the Report asserted “was intended to prevent further investigative scrutiny of the President’s and his campaign’s conduct.”[15]
  • In 2017 and 2018, the President asked the Attorney General to “un-recuse” himself from the Mueller inquiry, actions from which a “reasonable inference” could be made that “the President believed that an unrecused Attorney General would play a protective role and could shield the President from the ongoing Russia Investigation.”[16]
  • The Report raises questions about whether the President, by and through his private attorneys, floated the possibility of pardons for the purpose of influencing the cooperation of Flynn, Manafort, and an unnamed person with law enforcement.[17]

It's tiresome having to correct folks who have rewritten objective reality and then decided to have a go based on their fiction.
