Russia Says it Was in Touch With Trump Campaign During Election (cnbc.com)
An anonymous reader shares a CNBC report: The Russian government was in touch with members of President-elect Donald Trump's campaign staff during the U.S. election campaign, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the Interfax news agency on Thursday. "There were contacts," Interfax cited Ryabkov as saying. He did not give details. When asked whether these contacts would now intensify after Trump's election victory, Ryabkov said: "These working moments and follow-up on this or that matter will depend on the situation and the questions which face us. But we will of course continue this work after the elections." Defeated Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton accused Trump of being a "puppet" of President Vladimir Putin during the campaign, and U.S. officials said Russia had hacked into Democratic party emails, something Moscow denied. Trump has said he might meet Putin before his inauguration, but Putin's spokesman has said there are currently no plans for such a meeting.
You just elected a Russian mole. But he is going to get you jerbs...in a gulag.
Yet they didn't reach out to any of the other candidates, or in any of the other previous elections?
The difference is between what the "Foundation" collects versus what Bill directly banked. 6% of the Foundation funds goes to charitable works, 90% goes to paychecks and benefits. When a foreign government gives 30 million to the foundation ever member on payroll ends up splitting 27million dollars. This is not a complex shell company operation with many levels, this is a one stop shell. It is visible to anyone who wants to look.
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
What checks and balances? Haven't you heard all the president needs is a pen and a phone, and he's free to act anyway he likes if Congress obstructs his will... These secret executive powers were discovered by President Obama, and you Democrats all laughed when the Republicans pointed out it was a bad idea...
