Edit: yes there were Russians indicted..however, any ties to major players in the trump campaign??Exactly right. There have been no indictments pertaining to meddling at all that I am aware of. Other crimes from prior to the election but nothing else.
There are groups within our government who have responsibility over times like this.
Yeah, my post had nothing to do with Russians.. it was about the administration and ties to the administration. I thought that was clear from my comments.
Are you reading my posts? The charges against people connected to Trump have had nothing to do with election meddling. If there has been, can you please share who/what? I could have missed it in all seriousness... but I think it would be inescapable news if so.
Socialism is a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. Which goes completely against what regimentation means.
I believe it is you who is not reading.
In a vacuum, sure. But what must be considered is the motivation and subsequent utility of the investigations, and the subsequent impact on the nation today, as well the damage we'll be left to contend with moving forward.
And that can be considered, but assigning a motive to those who started and are carrying out the investigation at this point is nothing but subjective speculation.
So let’s not look for the truth because we are afraid of what the results will be and how it will affect the nation?? No thank you. I want the investigation to cross the finish line and see what Mueller and his team discovers. If it leads to something big so be it. The nation will persevere. If it leads to. I thing then also so be it.
Do you think that crimes discovered in the course of the investigation but not related to its stated aim should have been ignored? I'm not sure what you're saying should be done in such a situation.
I don’t have a big quote from anyone but I do have several articles that claim that Manafort’s guilty plea will have him help Mueller with his investigation with Russia.
Court docs also mention the podesta group. So....
I could not disagree more.
Nothing I said concerns or alludes to this sort of thing.
Now that we have an investigation and are left to deal with the fallout regardless of the outcome, I'm all for closure based on evidence. The idea that motive is irrelevant doesn't make much sense to me. The reason is because on the front side, there was little justification (there may be a complete lack of justification when all is said and done) for the complete debacle we've made out of Washington, largely because "I don't like Trump", "Trump is mean", "I can't believe he won", etc. Particularly absent some sort of indictment with linkages to the election, there is nothing else more relevant.
Not at all what I was suggesting. My last reply to @Gomer should clarify.
There were a few quarters Obama had over 4% growth but over 8 years it was either 1.8% or 1.6% growth depending on when the stats are started.
The investigation is into Russian meddling into the election, who was responsible, and how it occurred. I don't see how and end result exonerating the president and identifying the Russians who carried it out would be a waste of time. Regardless of the outcome, this investigation was a worthy process to expose an attack on our country and our democracy.
