    “These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process,” Cheung said.

    This is just gonna be a double standard like always; Trump was so crass to call Clinton unfit for office because of her data breach, but when it happens to him it’s election interference and shouldn’t be happening?

        Normally, a good editor would not publish hacked source. But, this story is too big. If they don’t publish, another news operation will get it and worse they’ll then be known as sitting on it.

        You should see the story by morning.

        My guess is that they’re just gonna sit on them and kill the story and say that they’re trying to confirm authenticity.

    Nothing “confirmed” with trump. “Claimed” is the word you want. And claimed, in this case, by serial liars

    Isn’t “Robert” the fake name Trump uses when he pretends to be his own PR person on the phone?

    Jesus Christ, conservatives are transparent.

      That was John Barron. He named his kid the same name he used when he was pretending to be someone else. And will still deny it was him to this day.

    Trump is so-o-o-o done.

    Asswipe had classified documents that he unclassified in his wet dreams.

    Nevermind the stuff he auctioned to best dick-licker.

    In 2017, the Justice Department launched an investigation into Russian interference in the election and what role Trump associates played in the hacking effort. Special counsel Robert Mueller ultimately concluded he lacked sufficient evidence to seek criminal charges against Trump or his campaign for allegedly conspiring with the Russians.

    BULLSHIT!!!

    Will someone with a fucking Xitter account slap this motherfucker in the goddamned face for printing this MAGA garbage?!

    A social media image makes the misleading claim that former special counsel Robert S. Mueller “can’t provide evidence that his probe reached a conclusion.” Mueller reached several conclusions, including that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to damage Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump.

    TWO SECONDS OF SEARCHING WOULD HAVE FIXED THIS i swear these fucking twitter journalists who pretend to know sweet fuck all and get a masthead over their diarrhetic prose GOD DAMN we do not need this fucking shit

    Edit to add:

    Investigators “found multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations, including the Russian-interference and obstruction investigations.” But, the report said, “[b]ecause we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment, we did not draw ultimate conclusions about the President’s conduct.”

    Factoring into the decision to not weigh in on prosecution, according to the report (and as we’ve written before), was an opinion issued by the Office of Legal Counsel that found that a sitting president cannot be indicted.

      Not to mention trump fired the AG and replaced him with yes man Bill Barr right before. It’s possible Barr pushed the can’t prosecute a sitting president on Mueller at the direction of Trump. The Mueller report was super damning, but no one took the time to read it, and Republicans just go sEe? WiTcH HunT! When the reality is the they just chose not to prosecute because Trump was the sitting president.

      Concluding that Russia interfered with an election to Trump’s benefit isn’t the same thing as concluding that Trump conspired with the Russians

      Even if the report had concluded they conspired, concluding they conspired isn’t the same thing as having “sufficient evidence to seek criminal charges”

        But, the report said, “because we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment, we did not draw ultimate conclusions about the President’s conduct.

        And

        the investigation established multiple links between Trump Campaign officials and individuals tied to the Russian government. Those links included Russia offers of assistance to the Campaign.

          i presume you’re pulling that from volume 2 of the report, since you didn’t link anything

          volume 1 deals with election interference

          volume 2 deals with obstruction of justice

          or in other words, your quote isn’t relevant to evidence for conspiracy with russia

           

          the investigation established multiple links between Trump Campaign officials and individuals tied to the Russian government. Those links included Russia offers of assistance to the Campaign.

          “establishing multiple links” isn’t the same thing as concluding they conspired, but even if it was, the second line of my initial comment addresses this:

          Even if the report had concluded they conspired, concluding they conspired isn’t the same thing as having “sufficient evidence to seek criminal charges”

          we focused on whether the evidence was sufficient to charge any member of the campaign with taking part in a criminal conspiracy. It was not.

          from here

          maybe he did but that’s the only definitive statement i can find from him on the matter

            Mueller was talking about obstruction. It’s hard to prove conspiracy if your witnesses are allowed to obstruct.

        He’s definitely like actually supposed to be president in a GTA game. Somehow he’s just in the real world fucking confused, spouting shit that’d go over great if he was on a GTA talk radio show.
