    If an Ambassador from a foreign country pens an Op Ed in another country’s media against a political candidate is that election interference?

    Yes or No?

    Let the leftist spin begin. Can’t wait
    Not even close

    Therefore; it was Ukrainian interference against Trump and for Hillary.

    See how silly this is? The Russians ALWAYS ‘interfere’ with elections ever since like the 50’s. Whether their interference amounts to anything in The Big Picture is like counting how many angels reside on the head of a pin.

    No, he's one person. This wasn't an official government act like the phony announcement of a government investigation would have been.

    Good girl
    Big stretch to compare an official writing a public letter expressing an opinion to secretly asking a foreign government to investigate a political rival.

    A person. Not Ukraine. You would need a lot more that one op-ed to be able to say Ukraine was backing anyone. They were not working with others to construct an organization to help a candidate. They were not cheating. It was just a letter.

    You realize that they aren’t mutually exclusive right? You do realize that it is possible for both to have meddled?

    Or isn’t your brain capable of complex thought processes?

    Don’t answer. I already know the answer is a negative.

    It is possible every country meddled, but they didn't. No evidence that Ukraine did anything. But Trump asked them to help his election. That is true.

    Who’s Really to Blame for the ‘Ukraine Did It’ Conspiracy Theory?
    https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...theory/602992/

    debunking the server is in Ukraine -it's in the cloud. In a document release last month, the FBI revealed one notable detail: During an interview with the FBI, Rick Gates, Manafort’s former deputy, recalled that Konstantin Kilimnik, one of Manafort’s business partners with alleged links to Russian intelligence, advanced the narrative that Ukraine had a role in the DNC hack. “Gates recalled Manafort saying the hack was likely carried out by the Ukrainians, not the Russians, which parroted a narrative Kilimnik often supported,” according to an FBI document, which then adds, confusingly, that “Kilimnik also opined the hack could have been perpetrated by Russian operatives in Ukraine.” It is unclear from Gates’s recollection when exactly this statement was made, and how persistently Manafort in turn repeated it.

    The Ukraine-hacked conspiracy theory is usually combined with a version of the CrowdStrike conspiracy theory, in which the cybersecurity firm somehow engineered the DNC leak while framing Russian intelligence. Kilimnik, notably, does not appear to have advanced this far more common version of the theory.

    The reality is that Mueller’s investigation did not indict anyone on the Trump campaign for collusion with Russia, or even for anything related to the 2016 election.
    Mueller’s report found no evidence of a Trump-Russia conspiracy, and even undermined the case for it.

    That said, there are unresolved matters that Mueller’s testimony could help clarify. Mueller claimed to have established that the Russian government conducted “a sweeping and systematic” interference campaign in order to elect Trump, yet the contents of his report don’t support that allegation. The Mueller report repeatedly excludes countervailing information in order to suggest, misleadingly, that the Trump campaign had suspect “links” and “ties” to people connected with Russia. And Mueller and other intelligence officials involved in the Russia probe made questionable investigative decisions that are worthy of scrutiny. To address these issues, here are some questions that Mueller could be asked.

    Not a single indictment against anyone in the Trump campaign that had to do with the 2016 election.

    Trump must have run a pretty clean campaign lol.
