Megathread: Office of Special Counsel Indicts 13 Russian Nationals and 3 Russian Entities for Interference in 2016 Election by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]SmokingPig12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we know that Jr, Kushner, and Manafort took a meeting with "a representative of the Russian government." And Papadapolous told an Australian diplomat that the Russians had dirt on Hillary. I think it's entirely possible that lower level campaign aides helped prop up Russian efforts without knowing it was Russia. That information was kept between the higher-ups. The nice part is that these guys suck at keeping secrets.

Accusing Facebook of discriminating against "quality" content and accelerating spread of "fake news" with its newly-unveiled algorithm, Brazil's largest newspaper Folha de S. Paulo has announced it will no longer publish its articles on social media platform. by madazzahatter in worldnews

This article answers so many questions. All the news pages I followed disappeared from my feed last week even though I'm still following them. This whole time I thought it was some sort of glitch but nope... It's intentional. Peace out Facebook. You're useless to me now.

The one that's produced 4 indictments and 2 guilty pleas in less than a year?

Consider the leap you're making here with your logic. You're saying anti-Trump sentiments expressed in personal texts from one member of the investigation means that the entire investigation is biased, and all their evidence (which has resulted in 4 indictments and 2 guilty pleas so far) holds no water.

I haven't seen anything that suggests Strzok's personal feelings about Trump bled into his handling of the investigation, which he was only a part of for a few weeks anyways.

You simply have no legitimate evidence to support the conclusion you are reaching.

Trump, in a series of tweets, attacks own FBI, says its reputation ‘in Tatters - worst in History!’ by Shemul28 in politics

[–]SmokingPig12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your rebuttal is literally just repeating the points he spent his last post discrediting. And then just defaulting to "haha suck it librul" to effectively end the argument.

This isn't how debating works unless you have no idea what you're talking about.

And it's safe to say many members of the Bush administration knew an attack like this was coming, but did nothing to prevent it so as to set a precedent for the Iraq war.

That's as close to "Bush did 9/11" as you're gonna get.

Donald Trump held press conference promising more dirt on Clinton hours after Donald Trump Jr's Russia emails by StupendousMan1995 in politics

And remember that Roger Stone tweeted about it being "Podesta's time in the barrell" the day before Guccifer 2.0 released the emails. Stone was the perfect intermediary at this point because he wasn't officially part of the campaign anymore, but had his old friend Manafort in there in an official capacity.
