So I guess all the "Russia!" stuff was projection

[Alpo]

I'm just going with what seems logical. Giving a 100 plus million to the CF doesn't seem logical. In fact it smells. The Uranium One brouhaha, is only because it has a Russian connection. It seems like more deflection, than a legitimate issue.

Yep. Any google search would show that Russia's proven U reserves and production capacity makes this a strange point to raise. Carter giving away the Panama Canal was YUGE! This isn't even an issue except to the uninformed.

Here's my perspective on how convoluted this gets.

Manafort started working with the Russian-backed Ukrainians and got paid handsomely for it, through offshore accounts. Obama/Clinton administration is a target for lobbying. Manafort has the Ukrainians hire the Podestas who get paid handsomely for it, through offshore accounts.

Presidential race rolls around.

Manafort knows the Clinton cronies are in bed with the Russians/Russian-backed Ukrainians. The Clinton cronies know Manafort is, too. All those rumors about Russian involvement probably go back to BOTH sides. They both thought they had dirt on each other. And they did.

Now it looks like it has turned into a race to see who can turn into "cooperating witness" faster.

I wouldn't know as I don't watch that channel. IMO Fox, CNN, MSNBC etc. are just entertainment channels designed to tell people what they want to hear. Watching any of those channels to get the news is akin to watching Hogan's Heroes to learn the history of WWII.

"Smart enough to be president".

I guess you don't remember the Carter or Bush 43 years......

Bush and Carter are both smart enough to be president. Idiology and the decisions ideologues make have nothing to do with the person’s intellect. Obama didn’t **** down his leg because he’s stupid. He did it because he’s an ideologue. Bush didn’t get us in Iraq because he’s stupid. He did it because he’s an ideologue.

Doubtful. Nine agencies had to approve the Uranium deal. The Clinton led state department was only one of those agencies. The Clinton Foundation donor did not own any shares of Uranium One when he donated to Clinton, when the deal was approved. In fact, he had sold them years before. Further, Clinton wasn't even Sec of State when the foundation received the donation. So unless the donor had some foresight and a time machine, this kinda seems like people getting mad for nothing. Now, one may want to investigate why the donor gave the foundation so much money, but trying to attach it to Uranium One, is pretty ridiculous.

The FBI needs to find out what this guy knows. He had to have overheard something from behind that grandfather clock.

Has anybody seen this? Did he really just admit this on NATIONAL television? Carter Page is a moron.

Trump-Russia: Ex-aide refuses to co-operate with Mueller probe - BBC News

A former aide to Donald Trump says he will not co-operate with the inquiry into alleged Russian election meddling.
Sam Nunberg, who helped launch Mr Trump's campaign, said he would refuse to comply with a grand jury subpoena.
"I think it would be really, really funny if they wanted to arrest me because I don't want to spend 80 hours going over emails," he told US media.

To which, I would say, "Good luck with that."
