If Russia helped Trump win, what exactly did they do?

Post Reply New Topic

The Democrats and the Lame Stream Media keep arguing that Team Trump worked with Russia to help Trump win. However, they have yet, as far as I know, to say exactly what Russia did to help Trump win. I can think of a few things the Left did to try and help Hillary win illegally (Like President Obama telling illegals to go out and vote for one.)

I did notice a while back that the government was saying that they were thinking of declaring the elections as "critical infrastructure" to protect them from foreign attacks. Interestingly, they ended up doing such between the time Trump won and the time Obama left. So perhaps the real motive of the Left was to nationalize our elections and they just keep up this Russia lie in the hopes of trying to weaken the Republicans so that they can get back in power in 2020 and use the nationalized elections to make them a one party dictatorship like Russia or China.


As for collaborating with Russia, I think Ted Kennedy did FAR WORSE than anything they accuse Flynn of, yet he got away with it since he's a Democrat: http://dailysignal.com/2016/12/14/ted-kennedy-made-secret-overtures-to-russia-to-prevent-ronald-reagans-re-election/


As for Obama complaining about a foreign country messing with our elections, he's not one to talk: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jul/12/obama-admin-sent-taxpayer-money-oust-netanyahu/

And speaking of deals with Russia, what about this: http://www.wnd.com/2017/03/russia-scandal-inside-the-obama-clinton-uranium-deal/

Well, if the Russians can cause all that, then, okay, maybe it was the Russians.

I'd like a source for President Obama having told 'illegals' to vote for Hillary I don't recall anything like that, as far as I can tell an illegal immigrant couldn't vote because they wouldn't be able to confirm their identity and citizenship things you have to do to vote. So I'll have to call B.S on that one

I do know that democratic party did its best to work against Bernie getting the nomination in favor of Hillary.

It's total nonsense and bold faced lie they keep repeating in the media, Russia apparently "hacked the election" by John Podesta being an idiot falling for a standard phishing email years ago and using "password" as password. The DNC servers were supposedly targeted, they say the techniques used were from Russian intelligence service but Wikileaks has exposed how this is totally bogus and that there is no way to determine who did what because it possible to mask an attempt as coming from somewhere else and these tools have been available to criminals for some time now. That's all that really amounts to any of these accusations, no proof of wrongdoing just that Russia dislike Hillary Clinton which is kind of like no s**t. Trump has been exhaustively investigated, if there was anything and I mean anything it would of been exposed at this point and probably before the election but there's nothing for them to even desperately grab on to except this totally fabricated Russia narrative.

I did have the chance to listen to Sam Harris's Waking Up Podcast #69 with Ann Applebaum where she was talking at length about this not being a conspiracy theory for this particular reason - that Russia has been trying to meddle in everyone's elections across Europe and in other places and their behavior is almost carbon copy.

I've shied away from party and leadership politics just because so much of what's out there is pretty bad in terms of mud slinging and, regrettably, it seems like no matter how cogent one side of the story tells you find out that while the first story you heard had facts in alignment you discover that it was a one-sided disclosure, out of proportion with the rest of the facts, etc..

I don't know what to make of it - whether the Russians really made this happen or whether they just got more people who would have voted Trump anyway out to vote. The nature of it, ie. a foreign power swaying elections is no more dishonest than some of the stuff that ACORN and the like were doing - it's just more shocking in the sense that this isn't some type of left-leaning activist group without leaders; it's a nation state swooping in. Also - our hands obviously aren't clean. Obama as I remember had people running around Israel to vote against Netanyahu and it wouldn't surprise me if we've been rolling in the mud a lot longer.


Point being - I think we need to work on having a more self-disciplined media. When they cried wolf so many times that people tuned them out they just kept crying wolf louder. I don't care who they dislike, to lose their credibility means people will get their news in even stranger places and it means that civic reality breaks down, which is an ideal time for a foreign power to jump into the chaos and guide it the way they want to. If anything this should just show us our own stupidity and how much we have to fix on our own soil.

I think this matter will always be one of conjecture, wispy circumstantial/anecdotal evidence, innuendo and a lot of sensationalism.

Nevertheless there's probably millions of people who have "the Russians helped Trump win the election" permanently ingrained in their minds.

Now that is high-larry-us!

Oh, this involving Russians and US Presidential candidates just popped back up from the depths of the memory.

The people who testified in front of the House and Senate laid all of this out in their testimony. There is no if, every one of our intelligence agencies have said that Russia did exactly that.

If this was a script for a movie, it would be rejected due to lack of plausibility.
