We know that Trump knew all about the hacked emails by the time he said this:

[kpete]

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 (Hillary Clinton) emails that are missing,” he said. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let's see if that happens. That will be next.”




I don’t understand how people think there’s still a question of *whether* there was collusion, as opposed to “how extensive was it?” The campaign got advance word that Russia had thousands of hacked (STOLEN) Dem emails, yet consistently feigned doubt publicly.

1. And why else would he have been so mad at the Australian PM

Remember how he had a super awkward and confrontational phone call with the Australian PM, of all people, and everyone was all “WTH was that about?”

That’s what that was about.

8. Excellent point. It makes a lot more sense now

2. How soon after the inauguration did Trump invite Russians into the Oval Office.

How did he treat our traditional allies at the G-20 meeting he attended.

Trump has been very generous to Russia.

Did he ever follow through on the administrative plan for the Russian sanctions that Congress enacted?

6. I bet, the Russians

were in the Oval Office either on Inauguration Day or soon after.

3. Trump was/is telegraphing

and projecting constantly. It has been very obvious to me from the beginning.

5. This has been so frustrating

in that so many of us see this so blatantly, yet others are either blinded or self-serving and craven.

9. He always shows his hand, he cannot help himself.

Bragging, projection, threats, show us what he is up to.

4. The Russians in the Oval Office sure behaved like they were

moving into a new place they had just bought and paid for. The successful conspiracy against America was obvious in their gloating.

7. Apparently tRump was impatient, he

wanted the hacked info sooner than Russia was giving it so he made this request on television; incredibly brazen and stupid.
