I was just coming here to start a thread on this. Doing the snoopy dance! Is complying with blackmail an impeachable offense or would it have to have occurred after inauguration?

I just read this on CNN and came here to see if you guys posted anything. As usual, y'all are on top of it. But holy wow. Would love to know what hacks found. But it will just be deny deny deny.
Tiny hands is having a press conference at 11 tomorrow. You best believe he's going to be questioned about it. Want to bet he cancels conference.

Oh and Comey should be fired immediately and charged with treason for sitting on it. Comey is Trump's bitch and Trump is Putin's bitch. It is horrifying that people are okay with Putin having control over our president-elect and therefore the head of the FBI. Comey SHOULD be charged with treason. |

That's why they were asking the FBI guy if he would release something about an investigation (if there was one) before Jan 20! They know!

I read today that Russian mobsters bailed him out of a bankruptcy. So he is indebted to them in many ways. This whole situation is terribly frightening. I've disliked past presidents but none of them ever made me fear our democracy (or our republic for the pedantic gasbags out there) was really in peril they way he does.

And if this is true and Trump was being blackmailed by Putin or knew anything about it, I will be furious if he is impeached and Pence is the new president. Due to the tampering with the election process, and the fact that Hillary won the popular vote, she should be the president.

First, let me say that I am very concerned about this country's vulnerability to cyber attack. This situation has been the case for at least several years. I'd love to know why Obama and Congress took no action prior to this. They should have.
As to the fact that they have compromising evidence against Trump; I'm not surprised. See above.
Now, did Russia hope to influence the election? Most definitely. By releasing only compromising info about Clinton, they hoped to influence whether or not people voted for her. Mind you, there has never been a single claim that any of the leaked info was false. So, in effect, completely true information about Clinton was leaked and it was done in an attempt to influence voters' opinion about HIllary.
Did they interfere with the voting? Not in any way. Every high level official, Democrat and Republican has acknowledged this. There was no interference with voting machines, no attempts to threaten anyone in how they voted, no tampering. None. Based on the true info people learned about Hillary, some people chose to vote for Trump.
So, ok, they have "compromising" info about Trump. Clearly they had "compromising" info about Clinton. Why is Trump anymore Russia's bitch (assuming that we're talking about subjection to blackmail) than Hillary would be? How is this different than Hillary's taking campaign monies form Arab governments? Does this not subject her to influence on their behalf?
I think we need to deal with our cyber vulnerability. I don't see the OMG I'm seeing here.

Due to the tampering with the election process, and the fact that Hillary won the popular vote, she should be the president. Man. Good point! This is historic in so many ways. I can't believe the senate is continuing on as if nothing has happened. Or maybe they don't know yet. |

There is something "weird" going on with the Republicans....... Normally they would be all on top of the Russian hacking thing.

Is it possible Trump has been trying to not get elected all along, like a kidnap victim trying to act just off enough to garner get help? The thought that people looked the other way to gain power/control is staggering. I've been saying for months, we live in terrifying times.
