The Right's continued obsession with tying anything they can to Hillary cannot be explained.
She is no longer a political threat. What is the point of the effort?

And how brain damaged do you have to be to make a claim that Hillary is somehow involved in a meeting between the Trumps and the Russians when the POINT of the meeting is to defeat Hillary, by conspiracy, criminal theft of files, and espionage against the USA?

Edit:
I freely admit, that once more I have overestimated the basic intelligence of the bottom 1/3 of the population. Of COURSE this would be completely acceptable to that audience. Why wouldn't it be?

I think it's far more plausible that Obama realized early on that HRC was such a weak candidate that measures had to be taken to ensure that if Trump got elected, the bureaucracy would be prepared to impede dismantling the "Obama Legacy" with every means available.

I think there's more than enough circumstantial evidence to at least entertain the possibility. I doubt that HRC ever thought she would lose and I doubt that she could have orchestrated the deep state resistance as easily as Obama could. This seems to be more of the outgoing administration doing what it could to minimize the legacy damage on the way out.

The illegal unmasking of Flynn seems to point in that direction.

Well yes, contract translators tend to take on work with more than one organisation. That is what makes them contract workers, rather than employees. What this bit of nonsense entirely fails to establish is whether this contract translator did was anything other than translate for whoever he was working for at the time. Which is what contract translators are paid to do. 'Man does what he is paid for' is hardly news...

Well, he makes points! Just because something is propagandized does not mean that there isn't truth in it. PETA might be a bunch of whacko nutjobs, but that doesn't mean that unacceptable levels of animal cruelty don't exist and shouldn't be addressed.

See what I'm saying?

Going to sources who are well known to distort facts to suit their agenda is idiotic. You return to Breitbart time and again it seem. That suggests you don't so much want to learn what is going on, but to read stuff that fits your pre-existing notions.

Confirmation bias is a female dog.

So out of curiosity, you personally believe that ISIS speaks for refugees, is honest and trustworthy? And that it trumps facts, statistics and science? So when someone asks for actual arguments you think it is okay to say "But ISIS said so!"? Thats a thought that actually exists within your mind? [haha]

ISIS directly benefits from distrust and mistreatment of refugees. Sadly some right wingers are all too happy to help them in this.

The shape shifting lizards? Or, more likely (unless you have evidence to the contrary) whoever he was translating for at the time. That is how contract working works. If someone pays you to translate for them, that is what you do.

"Nothing to see here, move along..."

So you're not even curious as to who might have compensated the translator for something that was made such a big thing out of?

Seems your interest is about the same as the media's.

Wonder why that is...

And now compare the vacations Obama took during 8 years to those Trump took in half a year. Notice something?

Yeah

Obama didn't own anything and didn't have anywhere to go to but Chicago, and who'd wanna go there?

If anyone had provided the slightest bit of evidence that there was anything untoward going on, I might be interested. So far, zilch...

That's right, but it's not quite in the way that people believe.

People fleeing from ISIS aren't all useless morons coming to Europe to take our jerbs. Many very productive, intelligent and professional people are among them. ISIS controlled areas are suffering severely due to lack of civilian workers such as engineers, doctors, construction people etc, and are desperately trying to get them back.

They've even taken to putting job adverts in their crazy magazine, Dabiq, saying they've just opened a medical college. Don't even think of looking that magazine up if you don't have a strong stomach BTW.

Yeah - you can pretty much say that about the whole thing.

No one can yet point to any evidence that a crime was committed.

But that hasn't stopped all the wild speculation and hyperbole.

Has it?

You must be unaware that the US has had the capability to enable the POTUS to execute the duties of his office 24/7/365 regardless of his location.

Been that way for many decades.

That's one of the reasons that Trump is not allowed to use his own plane while in office.

Getting elected POTUS doesn't mean you joined a monastery.

The 'wild speculation and hyperbole' regarding this translator seems to originate with Breitbart.

So what's the urgent need again to fly to his own golf ressorts on tax payers costs then?

Getting elected POTUS isn't joining a monastery, you're quite right there. But it's changing your home to the white house and placing your own needs and demands behind those of the nations. Something I can't see Trump doing.

Remember this quote?

"I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to go play golf." --Donald J. Trump, August, 2016
