Financial leverage as kompromat

[Unregistered]

Imagine if you will, a U.S. president who:

1. Borrows billions of dollars from foreign oligarchs to fund his real estate deals, because U.S. lenders are no longer willing to loan him money
2. Sees the value of those real estate holdings decline in value, to the point where they are worth less than the outstanding loans
3. Knows the oligarchs have the power to call those loans at any time, which would force him into a very public and very embarrassing bankruptcy

How might that president behave towards those oligarchs?

He might choose to send ventilators to his Russian overlords after refusing to send them to his own U.S. governors.

Due to the recent evidence that has come to light by the release of the DOJ transcripts, we all officially give zero fûcks to your bullshît Russian conspiracy theories as they have been destroyed over the last 3 days. All the life of your material has been sucked out due to the recent Revelations from the DOJ. Sorry to burst your bubble, we’ve put a fork in this one! 😂

If you think the faulty DOJ theories on the Flynn case do anything to dispprove the trump-Russia connection, then you're hopelessly brainwashed and I'm not sure there's any hope for you.

You never gave us your innocent explanation for trump siding with Putin over his own Intelligence Community on the subject of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, which is now an undisputed fact. Let's hear it.

You never gave us your innocent explanation for trump siding with Putin over his own Intelligence Community on the subject of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, which is now an undisputed fact. Let's hear it.

Riddle me this...would you side with “your own” intelligence community when they’re the ones actively trying to take you down with wiretaps, witness coercion, fake dossiers, deliberate lies and misinformation on mainstream media? All of which have been documented and are undisputed facts. I’ll answer that. Nope, you wouldn’t. Secondly, would you please present your evidence on the Trump-Russia collusion because the 53 men and women in “our own intelligence community” all testified under oath they had no knowledge or evidence of said collusion. So would be please consult with your team of “bloggers” and give us the evidence. If you can’t then you proved what we all think. Trump knew from the start what was going on. All you libtards had a collective meltdown when he called out his own intelligence agency and now we are getting a glimpse as to why. It’s pitiful watching you trying to hang on to your sinking ship.

So to be clear, you are saying we should believe the Vladimir Putin and the Russian GRU over the thousands of U.S. intelligence officials who have served administrations of both parties over their entire careers? OK, comrade.

If you don't believe there was collusion between Russia and the Trump administration, please explain all the strange relationships listed in the post above yours. There was no smoking gun evidence of collusion (there are credible theories on why that is), but the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming.

Dirty connections between trump and the Russians is a matter of public record and isn't even up for debate. You'll find lots of evidence in public documents, and entire books have been written on the subject.

Do you hear yourself? Theories and circumstantial evidence? How far you have fallen. From Russia agent and direct evidence to theories and circumstantial evidence. So you’re willing to ruin the life of a decorated general and undo an election over theories? No wonder you idiots lose all the time. The fact you’re OK with the corruption in our own intelligence community is in itself anti-American. We don’t treat our citizens that way. I don’t go by strange relationships. I go by facts. The same facts that says every single intelligence agent who testified under oath said there was NEVER any evidence of Russia collusion. I repeat not a single one including Clapper and McCabe. Again, please provide the evidence. For years you said there was mountains of evidence. Since Mueller, Comey, Clapper, McCabe, and Strozk don’t have it, maybe you can consult with your blogger buddies and provide it. You’ve and the rest of the libtards have a big problem on your hands. The transcripts have been released unveiling the truth. All your bullshît conspiracies theories have blown up in your face. Nobody is buying it anymore. Another good week for Trump!

Again, please provide the evidence. For years you said there was mountains of evidence.

I just gave you 57 pieces of evidence in #124 and #130. Which you will dismiss, because trumptards will accept nothing short of a confession from trump, a signed conspiracy agreement between trump and Putin, or an incriminating recording of their secret conversations, before they believe what is obvious to anyone with a fully functioning brain. Even then, they would claim it's fake.

So all we have right now is circumstantial evidence. But it's a HUGE pile of evidence. The 57 examples I gave you are only a start. And you know what? It can ALL be explained by Russian leverage against trump, financial or otherwise. All. Of. It.

If you don't believe it, then there must be an innocent explanation for all those things. I'm still waiting for that. Let's hear it.

Instead of listing opinion pieces from bloggers, how about we hear "facts" from the principal actors involved in the case. Here is a sample from some of Obama's top law enforcement/intelligence agents who were actively involved in the Russian collusion investigation who testified under oath.

“I never saw any direct empirical evidence that the Trump campaign or someone in it was plotting [or] conspiring with the Russians to meddle with the election." - James Clapper (former Director of National intelligence)

“I am not in possession of anything—I am not in possession and didn’t read or absorb information that came from out of the intelligence community.” - Samantha Power (Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations)

“To the best of my recollection, there wasn’t anything smoking...“I don’t recall intelligence that I would consider evidence to that effect that I saw…conspiracy prior to my departure.”- Susan Rice (Obama National Security Adviser)

“I wouldn’t have received any information on any criminal or counterintelligence investigations into what the Trump campaign was doing, so I would not have seen that information". "I saw indications of potential coordination, but I did not see, you know, the specific evidence of the actions of the Trump campaign". - Ben Rhodes (Former Deputy National Security Adviser)

"I can't say that it existed or not...I do not recall that being briefed up to me." - Loretta ***** (Former Attorney General )

"If you're asking me, did I reach the conclusion that he-he had that, the answer to that would be no." Sally Yates (former acting Attorney General).

McCabe was asked during his interview in 2017 what was the most “damning or important piece of evidence in the dossier that” he “now knows is true.”McCabe replied: “We have not been able to prove the accuracy of all the information.” “You don’t know if it’s true or not?” a House investigator asked, to which McCabe replied: “That’s correct.”

There are people in this world that get their info from blogs and editorials and then there is direct testimony from the highest levels of our government. If Clapper, Rice, *****, McCabe, Rhodes, and Yates testified under oath there was no evidence of collusion, I'm pretty sure you and Mother Jones are full of crap.

I already said there was no direct evidence (yet), and the intelligence community acknowledges that. Which leaves us with that pesky mountain of circumstantial evidence. The only conclusion I can come to is that trump is owned by the Kremlin. If you disagree, what is your explanation?

If you accept the notion that Trump is in Putin's pocket, everything he does suddenly makes complete sense.

I was skeptical for a long time, then Helsinki happened. There is literally no other explanation for that travesty. The Kremin owns him, pure and simple.

Wait just a second. You’re not addressing the fact the you and the rest of the libtard idiots peddled fake, false, and misleading left wing conspiracy theories for years. If you can now admit that there is no direct evidence, then what the hell were you regurgitating for the last 4 years? So you were just lying, making of up shît, and carrying water for CNN. All those years of fake posts were just pulled out of your ass. Therefore, you can admit you have absolutely no credibility and your opinion is worthless. How did you go from Russian agent and mountains of direct evidence to circumstantial theories? Just like Schitz, Naddler, and Pelosi the release of the transcripts made you look stupid and exposed your hypocrisy and bias. How can u be a free thinking when bound by those puppet strings? You’re losing this one.
