    Default Please explain

    If Trump was a russian plant why would he encourage oil and gas production? Russia relies on oil and gas exports and more supply means lower prices.

    thx

    I've asked that before and never got a good answer.

    The Trump Russia connection is a conspiracy theory but the media runs with it anyway.

    Why they didn't run with 9-11 truther-ism only they can tell you.

    the entire thing is questionable. I do not believe the IC leadership on ANYTHING about Russian hacking
    and even more silly Trump's conniving with Putin to get elected

    Ask Tillerson about that.

    He must have. No other possible way he could've been elected.

    I don't it is likely that Trump is a wholly owned entity of Russia.

    I think its likely that Putin preferred the relatively weaker political newcomer who he felt would weaken America to HRC and thus made it his business to work for Trump's victory.

    Trump, who has financial interests in Russia and business relationships with several Russian oligarchs who Putin works with was likely more than happy to accept any help he could get to ensure his victory. Its not a direct quid pro quo, its just that Putin got his choice. I also would not put it past Putin to have also assisted with Brexit as it would be in Russia's interests to have a weaker Europe.

    Does anyone imagine that Trumps "ethics" would have prevented him from accepting Russian help?

    There are other things that Russia can want. Of course, Russia was going to come out on top either way during this election, just in different areas if Clinton had won.

    Like what i mentioned the US going green and not producing oil and gas is the greatest gift russia could have gotten as there is no additional supply to lower prices.

    what "help?" or are you just in the mood for idle speculation..the investigation is going nowhere do far
    and what else could Putin have done to "hack the election'?

    He hacked the DNC - and by that time it was already established Hilary was a congenital liar by the State Dept Emails
    ( which Putin did not release) and the Podesta stuff that showed how her bazillion$ campaign was running around in a tizzy.

    She was a crappy candidate -so much that a neophyte without all those fundraiser beat her.end of story.
