Can Donald Trump really be a compromised agent of Russian influence?

Jan 11, 2017 23:10

During the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, American parents found politics to be a painfully embarrassing subject to discuss in front of their children. The TV news stayed off at dinner time. But even before taking office, Donald Trump has surpassed Bill Clinton. The details of what’s said to have taken place in a Moscow hotel room with a group of ( Read more... )

This is all very salacious and delightful but it seems useless given that it's only being made public less than ten days before Trump is inaugurated. I needed this shit WAY out there back before certain segments of American voters kicked all of us in the nuts and threw us overboard. Honestly it seems like some of his advisors will take the fall if this turns out to be true, but Tr*mp will miraculously keep his tiny orange hands clean again. Someone give me a crumb of hope.

frankly, I hope shit like this leaks hours before each and every one of his public appearances for the rest of time. only hours though, as to catch him and his handlers completely off-guard.

This story has helped reaffirm my faith in the media to be honest. They all had this document months ago, but they didn't publish it because they couldn't corroborate any of the claims. It seems like the only reason it became news now, is because it made its way up to a presidential briefing. There is perhaps still no smoking gun, but we know that after several months of investigation intelligence agencies now take the allegations seriously enough to think informing the president "on the record" is worthwhile ( ... )

Oh I absolutely agree with you in regards to the media, ect. I was just wishing all this had moved along a lot faster and come out around October so that maaaaaybe would have stopped Trump in his tracks then. But maybe that's unrealistic, as well. Any other politician would be dead in the water if they stank of these allegations, but Trump would just pound some nonsense out on Twitter and somehow keep swimming. Aaarghhh
