Kinda sounds like collusion to me.
Courtesy of NBC News:
In a thousand-page bipartisan report released Tuesday, the Senate Intelligence Committee said the Trump administration obstructed its investigation with “novel claims” of executive privilege. It painted a portrait of a Trump campaign eager to accept help from a foreign power in 2016.
The Senate report, the most detailed account to date of the Trump campaign’s embrace of Russian election interference, also asserted that the allegations that Ukraine interfered in the election — which President Donald Trump perpetuated — originated with Russian intelligence agencies.
The report highlighted some never-before-seen evidence about Trump and Russia, including three allegations of potentially compromising material relating to Trump’s private trips to Russia that were unconnected to the dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele.
“Separate from Steele’s memos, which the Committee did not use for support, the Committee became aware of three general sets of allegations” involving women, the report said, two of which described a tape. No such allegations were confirmed, but the finding lent new credence to at least one claim in the widely discredited Steele dossier.
The committee endorsed the view of special counsel Robert Mueller and the Roger Stone prosecution team that the Trump campaign eagerly embraced Russian help in 2016, and considered the hacked emails its “October surprise” even though campaign officials knew the material was stolen by Russian intelligence.
“While the GRU and WikiLeaks were releasing hacked documents, the Trump Campaign sought to maximize the impact of those materials to aid Trump’s electoral prospects,” the report said. “To do so, the Trump campaign took actions to obtain advance notice about WikiLeaks releases of Clinton emails; took steps to obtain inside information about the content of releases once WikiLeaks began to publish stolen information; created messaging strategies to promote and share the materials in anticipation of and following their release; and encouraged further theft of information and continued leaks.”
Looks like somebody owes Christopher Steele an apology.
The report also essentially identifies former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort as a Russian operative.

President Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman posed a “grave counterintelligence threat” due to his interaction with people close to the Kremlin, according to a bipartisan Senate report released Tuesday that also found extensive contacts between key campaign advisers and officials affiliated with Moscow’s government and intelligence services.
The Senate Intelligence Committee report states that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort worked with a Russian intelligence officer “on narratives that sought to undermine evidence that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election,” including the idea that Ukrainian election interference was of greater concern.
The report states that a Russian attorney who met with Manafort, the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., and his son-in-law Jared Kushner at Trump Tower in 2016 had “significant connections” to the Kremlin. The information she offered to them was also “part of a broader influence operation targeting the United States that was coordinated, at least in part with elements of the Russian government,” the report states.
As I have been saying for years now Donald Trump is an illegitimate president who is working as a Russian asset to undermine America.
Why that is not universally understood I will never understand.

Hey, quit using the term “the President “ !!!!!

I call him the occupant of the WH, who is now planning on making his speech from the “beautiful WH”, what is it no longer the dump?
I am surprised the con artist isn’t giving the speech from mar a lardass, he could bill the taxpayers for renting rooms to the secret service.
Well said, Anonymous 4:12 pm.
The reason that Donald is not held accountable is because the Republican party overreached for power and they protected him despite the fact that the writing was and is on the wall that Donald was complicit with Putin to undermine our country and exploit the divisions. It’s all about money and power. No, no one can come forward to point a finger at the treasonous because they too had aided and abedded Putin either knowingly or unknowingly. Let’s never ever forget that Putin likes to operate on the sly so he is never spotlighted nor held accountable. The Trump admin has also used this tactic. They also convolute things and people fall for it time and again.
Anyone that votes for him is mentally retarded. Mentally fucking retarded.
I hate to put it in those terms but that’s pretty much my perspective on the subject. But a less harsh assessment would be intellectually lazy. Not big on reading and no desire to exercise any level of critical thinking. Plus they hated the black guy. And really anyone who threatens their worldview.Tough nut to crack I’m afraid. Sad to say, the only way I see out of this morass is for that demographic to die off. And then, who is going to hand you your fries?Did I mention that they hated the black guy?
birds of a feather flock together, why do you think trump spends so much time telling us he is a genius, because he is low IQ, bet his IQ is in the 80’s range. would have been in special ed if he were in school now.

This is outrageous. Hours before polls were to open, six of our communities were left stranded without polling locations.
This confusion and disorganization does not fulfill America’s promise of free and fair elections. We need to make voting easier, not harder.
trump wants a do over if he loses in 2020, the American people want a do over for 2016.
Interesting I haven’t seen him ranting on twitter this BIPARTISAN report is all a hoax, guess he is too busy insulting Michelle Obama.

“Frankly, I wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for Barack Obama ”
-Donald Trump, August 18, 2020-
There;s nothing scarier than a haroy white woman that does not know her place, as he stalked her onstage, and a nigger family that will continue to outshine him in intelligence, thought, word, and deed until the day he dies. Yeah, I went there, because I could. “I love the poorly educated,’ and they love him back.
Frankly, I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Vlad Putin…fix it for him
Best retort: “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Vlad Putin…”. Love it!
Bunker boy isn’t going to be pleased with this speech !!
So refreshing to see our next First Lady is a lady, not some store window mannequin.

Yep, his big contribution to the discussion is the boomers aren’t playing music that the millennials can relate too. Well too bad, when it is great music, it has no generational bounties.
TRUMP IS HAVING A FULL-BLOWN TEMPER TANTRUM OVER MICHELLE OBAMA. The former first lady struck a nerve with the president in a speech that nailed him not as an evil genius, but an inadequate fraud.

Cindy McCain shares emotional video featuring her late husband’s ‘unlikely friendship’ with Joe Biden at the DNC 2020
Cindy McCain, the widow of late Sen. John McCain, blasted authorities who were “afraid” to arrest convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein even though everyone “knew” what he was doing…
everyone “knew” what he was doing…
…everyone “knew” what he was doing. McCain said a girl from her daughter’s high school was one of Epstein’s victims and that she hopes Epstein “is in hell.” Cameras from outside Epstein’s jail cell failed to record footage on the night of his death, and guards who were supposed to monitor him every 30 minutes fell asleep when the former financier died. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/cindy-mccain-admits-we-all-knew-about-epstein

He is always ‘on the down low’, BuTt..No Anal.
“He knows that they’ll stop at nothing, they have this ruthless opposition research machine and they try to tear up your life, see if they can tabloid you and find bad things about you … and then they do the whataboutism”
““You know, this is a brutal business,” added Scaramucci. “I got an 11-day PhD in all of that nonsense that they do in Washington.”
I take the heat. You know, the president tweets about me. Big deal. I mean, get over it. He’s a bully. Big deal. You have to learn — particularly in America, the bully is not supposed to win. He’s destroyed the country. He’s destroyed the economy. He’s lying about the science, okay? He’s intellectually vacuous.”
“He has no managerial skills, so now you have the entire executive branch like a billiard game, the balls are flying everywhere. Nobody knows how to be coordinated and everybody is afraid of him. They’re afraid they’ll be the next guy, man or woman on the chopping block getting tweeted at. That’s how we’re running the executive branch of one of the most successful countries that ever existed. Come on, this is ridiculous.”

It’s a felony campaign finance violation to solicit a foreign power to help your campaign, especially when the foreign power weighed in on such a massive scale, The Mueller team just didn’t have the guts to go there.

Michael S. Schmidt
Two decades before he ran for president, Donald J. Trump traveled to Russia, where he scouted properties, was wined and dined and, of greatest significance to Senate intelligence investigators, met a woman who was a former Miss Moscow.
A Trump associate, Robert Curran, who was interviewed by the Senate investigators, said he believed Trump may have had a romantic relationship with the woman. On the same trip, another Trump associate, Leon D. Black, told investigators that he and Trump “might have been in a strip club together.” Another witness said that Trump may have been with other women in Moscow and later brought them along to a meeting with the mayor.
Trump was married to Marla Maples at the time.
Curran is an American photographer whose work hung in Trump’s SoHo hotel. Black is a founder of the private equity firm Apollo Global Management.
The details were in a section of the report about the Russian art of “kompromat,” or disseminating damaging information to discredit a rival or an enemy, which can pose a national security threat by targeting American officials.
This month, Trump rejected warnings from the U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia is trying to help him win reelection in 2020.
The report released Tuesday provided one of the most detailed official accounts of Trump’s time in Russia. More than dozens of pages in the nearly 1,000-page document, the report said that a Marriott executive told committee investigators that after Trump traveled to Russia in 2013 for the Miss Universe pageant the executive overheard two colleagues who worked at the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow discussing video footage that they said showed Trump with women in an elevator at the hotel.

An Aug. 17 Department of Homeland Security analysis also warns of possible election-related attacks. “We assess ideologically-motivated violent extremists and other violent actors could quickly mobilize to threaten or engage in violence against election or campaign-related targets in response to perceived partisan and policy-based grievances,” says the document, which was obtained by Yahoo News.
“In the heartland, they were asking our reps more and more questions on the domestic terrorism side, rather than the Islamist side,” he said. At roughly the same time, Travers said, he was hearing from a wide range of sources, including members of Congress and the leaders of social media firms, “that the domestic terrorism problem — and primarily the right-wing side of the domestic terrorism problem — was a growing concern for people.”
However, a cursory analysis of the links between white supremacist groups in North America, Europe and Australia meant that even the phrase “domestic terrorism” was something of “a misnomer,” Travers said. “It was pretty clear to us that a lot of this right-wing thing was a bit of a global movement. All of my European partners had the very same concerns. … This was a different flavor of international terrorism.”
I know his supporters could care less, but the Democrats need to keep repeating COLLUSION with the russians over and over.
