First, dont ever tell me what to do or anyone else on this site ..Who do you think you are? Is this your forum? We will start there..you do not run this site so quit acting like it..
You are, of course, free to say whatever you want, whenever you want to. Just don’t be surprised when people point out that what you are saying is factually incorrect.
I spend too much time on here, and I can’t recall a single person suggesting that the violence during the summer riots was acceptable. Feel free to find receipts and prove me wrong if you can.
I notice you don’t list where any on your info is coming from ..all that needs to be said..and you can't explain the findings of the Mueller investigation after over $40 million dollars of wasted tax payer money. Also, you overlook and excuse the illegal actions of Hillary Clinton and the “foundation” as well as the fact that Adam Shit knew these were lies but continued the investigation..but that’s all ok right?
I listed a detailed outline of what I assert happened and when it happened. If I am wrong, you are welcome to post what you believed happened and when.
You making broad and non-specific accusations doesn’t make for much of a debate.
Here is a summary of what the Mueller Report found:
The Mueller Report, officially titled "Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election," was delivered by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in March 2019. The report detailed the findings of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election, allegations of conspiracy or coordination between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russia, and potential obstruction of justice by President Trump. The report is divided into two volumes, each addressing a different aspect of the investigation:
### Volume I: Russian Interference and Links to the Trump Campaign
1. **Systematic Russian Interference**: The report confirmed that Russia engaged in a systematic effort to interfere in the 2016 election through disinformation campaigns on social media, hacking Democratic Party emails, and spreading the stolen information to disrupt the electoral process.
2. **No Conspiracy Established**: While the investigation identified numerous links and contacts between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and Russian officials or individuals with ties to the Russian government, it did not establish that the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.
3. **Russian Contacts with the Campaign**: The report detailed various instances where Russian nationals and entities sought to influence the campaign and establish communication channels, including offers of assistance to the campaign and proposals for establishing back-channel communications.
4. **WikiLeaks Releases**: The investigation looked into the role of WikiLeaks in disseminating hacked materials and found that Russian intelligence officers hacked Democratic targets and transferred the stolen emails to WikiLeaks for release. The Trump campaign showed interest in WikiLeaks' releases but there was insufficient evidence to charge any campaign official in connection with Russian hacking or dissemination of the hacked materials.
### Volume II: Obstruction of Justice
1. **Obstruction Inquiry**: This volume addressed whether actions by President Trump constituted obstruction of justice. It outlined several episodes where the president's actions raised questions about potential obstruction, including the firing of FBI Director James Comey, efforts to control the investigation, and attempts to influence witness testimony.
2. **Legal and Constitutional Considerations**: The report explained that charging a sitting president with a crime was not an option due to existing Department of Justice guidelines. It also noted that if they had confidence that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, they would state so. However, the report did not conclude that the president committed a crime, nor did it exonerate him.
3. **Congressional Role in Addressing Presidential Misconduct**: The report suggested that Congress has the authority to address presidential misconduct, implying that legislative action could be appropriate for responding to the evidence and instances of potential obstruction outlined in the report.
### Conclusion
The Mueller Report was a landmark document that detailed extensive Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. election and explored complex legal questions about coordination and obstruction. While it did not establish that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia, it laid out multiple instances of potential obstruction of justice, leaving the question of whether to pursue impeachment or other actions against the president to Congress.
And here is a summary of the findings of the Republican Senate Intelligence Committee report on Russian interference:
The Senate Intelligence Committee's report on Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election was a comprehensive, bipartisan investigation that concluded over five volumes, released between July 2019 and August 2020. It represented one of the most detailed and thorough examinations of Russia's efforts to influence the outcome of the 2016 election and the interactions between Russian operatives and the Trump campaign. Here's a summary of the key findings across its volumes:
### Volume 1: Russian Efforts Against Election Infrastructure
- **Russian Scanning and Probing**: It detailed Russian efforts to scan and probe U.S. election infrastructure, finding that in some cases, Russian actors were in a position to alter or delete voter registration data.
- **State-Level Vulnerabilities**: The volume highlighted the vulnerabilities in the security of state-level election systems, though it found no evidence that vote tallies were changed.
### Volume 2: Russia's Use of Social Media
- **Extensive Social Media Campaigns**: This part of the report focused on the extensive social media campaigns conducted by the Russian Internet Research Agency (IRA) to sow discord, spread disinformation, and interfere in the 2016 election.
- **Targeting of Specific Groups**: The IRA targeted specific social and political groups, aiming to exploit societal divisions and influence the political discourse.
### Volume 3: U.S. Government Response to Russian Activities
- **Critique of Obama Administration**: The report criticized the response of the Obama administration to Russian interference, suggesting that it was insufficiently aggressive and that administrative officials hesitated to take stronger action for fear of appearing to influence the election outcome.
- **Challenges in Interagency Response**: It detailed challenges in the interagency response to the threat, including issues of coordination and communication among different branches of government.
### Volume 4: Review of the Intelligence Community Assessment
- **Support for ICA Findings**: The committee found strong support for the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that Russia conducted an influence campaign aimed at the 2016 U.S. presidential election, with a clear preference for Donald Trump.
- **Sound Analytical Judgments**: It concluded that the ICA's judgments were sound and based on a wide range of sources, and it dismissed claims that the ICA was biased.
### Volume 5: Counterintelligence Threats and Vulnerabilities
- **Extensive Contacts with Russian Operatives**: The final volume detailed extensive contacts between Trump campaign officials and individuals with ties to Russia, identifying several potential counterintelligence concerns.
- **Paul Manafort and Konstantin Kilimnik**: A significant portion of the report focused on Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman, and his associate Konstantin Kilimnik, who the committee identified as a Russian intelligence officer. It highlighted Manafort's sharing of campaign data with Kilimnik and assessed that Russia used Manafort and Kilimnik to influence the Trump campaign.
- **WikiLeaks**: The committee assessed WikiLeaks as a willing participant in Russia's efforts to disseminate stolen information and criticized Trump campaign officials for their engagement with WikiLeaks.
### Conclusion
The Senate Intelligence Committee's report provided a bipartisan, comprehensive account of Russia's interference in the 2016 election, the vulnerabilities it exploited, and the contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives. It underscored the systemic threat posed by foreign interference in U.S. elections and highlighted areas where the U.S. government and its processes could be strengthened to prevent future interference.
