25% of of the 3000 ads were not geo-targeted large number of ads were run in areas of the country that were not heavily contested
Im supposed to believe that Trump was behind the Russia linked operatives that ran approximately 750 facebook ads in Michigan and Wisconsin and those ads swung those states to Trump?
Who said you're supposed to believe that? The statement is crystal clear: "To protect the public, American people deserve to see @facebook ads, and how Russian intel services used social media to divide our country." Where do you see Trump's name, or even an insinuation (veiled or not) that Trump was responsible?
It's very easy to see that the optimal election outcome for Russia was with Trump as President. Whether Russia decided to intervene on their own or on Trump's instruction (or suggestion, as it likely was), doesn't make an ounce of a difference. As I've said here before, Russia played smart by virtually interfering with this election (just as America does in typically more abrasive ways). It's not their fault that so many American people choose being proven right over being informed.
It's very easy to see that the optimal election outcome for Russia was with Trump as President...how so? Trump's instruction (or suggestion, as it likely was)... how so?
Trump's suggestion was actually publicly stated: "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing". It is also somewhere between highly likely and certain based on the throngs of undisclosed connections to Russian-connected personnel which keep surfacing - but I know you only participate in the game of connect-the-dots when it's to do with the DNC (a party you say you don't even belong to but exclusively criticize).
In terms of the talking points, Trump was overwhelmingly pro-Russian in his campaign. There are also documented financial dealings between Russia and Trump, his subsidiary organization, members of his administration his subsidiary organizations. Clinton has also been visibly at odds with Russian policy, and at personal odds with Putin.
You have a bewildering way of ignoring inconvenient information.
Apparently Putin shared many of the same feelings about Hilliary as the more than 4 million voters that make a conscience decision not to vote for such a terrible corrupt weeble wobble of a candidate. I was under the impression that Putin was hacking our democracy over something more than a personal vendetta against Hill. I thought there was something more for Putin/Russia to gain. Maybe the gains at this point are unrealized, we'll see.
Wait so all the investigations are done can you please post the results from all of them , thanks in advance since you are in the know how please enlighten us with the findings ...
4 million voters plus Putin... where theres smoke theres fire!

This population needs to learn to think; for all attempts to create transparency, those with power will find new and innovative ways to obfuscate truths. If a population generally lacks the abilities to think critically, these positive attempts to usher in transparency are all for naught.

Before the Trump administration approved a controversial deal giving Moscow control of a large swath of American uranium, the FBI had gathered substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business inside the United States, according to government documents and interviews.
Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.
“The Russians were compromising American contractors in the nuclear industry with kickbacks and extortion threats, all of which raised legitimate national security concerns. And none of that evidence got aired before the Trump administration made those decisions,” a person who worked on the case told The Hill, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution by U.S. or Russian officials.

the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill.

in Russian speaking fees and his charitable foundation collected

Then-Attorney General Eric Holder
was among the Obama administration officials joining Hillary Clinton on
the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States at the time
the Uranium One deal was approved. Multiple current and former
government officials told The Hill they did not know whether the FBI or
DOJ ever alerted committee members to the criminal activity they
uncovered.

E.O. 12958: REASONS 1.4 (B), (D), and (F).
1. (S) This is an action request for Embassy Moscow
regarding the delivery by FBI Director Mueller of a requested
sample of seized highly-enriched uranium (HEU) to appropriate
Russian authorities. Please see para 3. Embassy Tbilisi see
para 5.
2. (S) Background: Over two years ago Russia requested a
ten-gram sample of HEU seized in early 2006 in Georgia during
a nuclear smuggling sting operation involving one Russian
national and several Georgian accomplices. The seized HEU
has been under U.S. custody and is being held at a secure DOE
facility. In response to a 2007 Russian request, the
Georgian Government authorized the United States to share a
sample of the material with the Russians for forensic
analysis. FBI Mueller's trip to Moscow on April 27 provides
an opportunity to deliver the requested ten grams from the
seized HEU in order to obtain cooperation from the GOR on
this nuclear smuggling case and to eventually establish a
more productive mechanism of U.S.-Russian cooperation on
nuclear forensics.
(S//NF) While there was a reasonable exchange of information
with Russian security services at the time of the seizure, we
have had poor cooperation investigating the diversion of HEU,
which the United States believes was stolen from a Russian
facility. Russia did not respond to papers that former
Acting U/S Rood provided his counterpart in December 2008
reiterating the USG position that Russia should pick up this
sample in the United States. Further, when asked for an
update on their response to our proposal, DFM Ryabkov told us
recently in Washington that there was an interagency dispute
over who would come and pick up the material.
Given Russia's reluctance to act so far, FBI Mueller's
delivery of this sample will underscore to Russia our
commitment to follow through on this case. While some
details may be too sensitive to discuss, delivery of the
sample could enable us to discuss whether Russian authorities
investigated the diversion and prosecuted anyone. Moreover,
we hope it will spark discussions on mechanisms to exchange
information and material on future incidents.
3. (S) Background continued: On April 16, the FSB verbally
confirmed to Legatt that there will be no problem with the
Russian Ministry of Aviation concerning Mueller's flight
(although we probably won't see paperwork until shortly
before the trip). The FBI is requiring that the sample be
turned over to a Russian law enforcement authority (i.e.,
FSB) as opposed to an intelligence service (i.e., SVR) or
technical authority (i.e., Rosatom). A representative from
the responsible Russian Law Enforcement authority, who will
accept custody of the sample, must be identified and verified
ahead of time. That individual will be required to have
signatory authority to accept the sample. Appropriate
arrangements need to be made to ensure the transfer of
material is conducted at the airport, plane-side, upon
arrival of the Director's aircraft. Post should also remind
the GOR that this is the material about which the GOR gave
the USG nonproliferation assurances in 2008 (ref) in a
diplomatic note from February 2008.
3. (S) Embassy Moscow is requested to alert as soon as
possible and at the highest appropriate level the Russian
Federation that FBI Director Mueller plans to deliver the HEU
material once he arrives to Moscow on April 27. Post is
requested to convey information with regard to chain of
custody, and to request details on Russian Federation's plan
for picking up the material.
4. (SBU) Post is requested to draw from background above and
the following talking points:
--We wish to inform you that FBI Director Mueller plans to
arrive in Moscow at approximately 10 pm local time on April
27 with a ten-gram sample of seized HEU, which you requested
for nuclear forensics analysis.
--We require confirmation that a representative from a
responsible Russian law enforcement authority will be
available to accept custody of the sample and have signatory
authority to accept the sample.
--We require that the transfer of this material be conducted
at the airport, on the tarmac near by the plane, upon arrival
of the Director's aircraft.
--We place a high priority on completion of this sample
transfer to facilitate your forensic analysis of the
material.
--Further, with the delivery of this sample, we hope to
collaborate more closely on promoting a more effective
relationship between our law enforcement organizations to
counter illicit trafficking of nuclear materials.
--Efforts to work closely on nuclear smuggling and forensics
will help advance the goals outlined in our presidents'
recent joint statement in London of securing vulnerable
nuclear materials and improving nuclear security.
--Moreover, it is our hope to eventually establish a more
systematic mechanism to facilitate U.S.-Russian cooperation
on investigations into nuclear smuggling cases. We continue
to believe that Russia should be concerned by the prospect
that HEU was diverted from one of its facilities, and should
actively investigate the incident.
5. For Embassy Tbilisi: No action is required at this
point. At the appropriate time, State will send instructions
on alerting the Georgian Government that the transfer of the
seized HEU has taken place and is in Russian custody.

with Russian security services at the time of the seizure, we
have had poor cooperation investigating the diversion of HEU,
which the United States believes was stolen from a Russian
facility. Russia did not respond to papers that former
Acting U/S Rood provided his counterpart in December 2008
reiterating the USG position that Russia should pick up this
sample in the United States. Further, when asked for an
update on their response to our proposal, DFM Ryabkov told us
recently in Washington that there was an interagency dispute
over who would come and pick up the material.
Given Russia's reluctance to act so far, FBI Mueller's
delivery of this sample will underscore to Russia our
commitment to follow through on this case. While some
details may be too sensitive to discuss, delivery of the
sample could enable us to discuss whether Russian authorities
investigated the diversion and prosecuted anyone. Moreover,
we hope it will spark discussions on mechanisms to exchange
information and material on future incidents.
3. (S) Background continued: On April 16, the FSB verbally
confirmed to Legatt that there will be no problem with the
Russian Ministry of Aviation concerning Mueller's flight
(although we probably won't see paperwork until shortly
before the trip). The FBI is requiring that the sample be
turned over to a Russian law enforcement authority (i.e.,
FSB) as opposed to an intelligence service (i.e., SVR) or
technical authority (i.e., Rosatom). A representative from
the responsible Russian Law Enforcement authority, who will
accept custody of the sample, must be identified and verified
ahead of time. That individual will be required to have
signatory authority to accept the sample. Appropriate
arrangements need to be made to ensure the transfer of
material is conducted at the airport, plane-side, upon
arrival of the Director's aircraft. Post should also remind
the GOR that this is the material about which the GOR gave
the USG nonproliferation assurances in 2008 (ref) in a
diplomatic note from February 2008.
3. (S) Embassy Moscow is requested to alert as soon as
possible and at the highest appropriate level the Russian
Federation that FBI Director Mueller plans to deliver the HEU
material once he arrives to Moscow on April 27. Post is
requested to convey information with regard to chain of
custody, and to request details on Russian Federation's plan
for picking up the material.
4. (SBU) Post is requested to draw from background above and
the following talking points:
--We wish to inform you that FBI Director Mueller plans to
arrive in Moscow at approximately 10 pm local time on April
27 with a ten-gram sample of seized HEU, which you requested
for nuclear forensics analysis.
--We require confirmation that a representative from a
responsible Russian law enforcement authority will be
available to accept custody of the sample and have signatory
authority to accept the sample.
--We require that the transfer of this material be conducted
at the airport, on the tarmac near by the plane, upon arrival
of the Director's aircraft.
--We place a high priority on completion of this sample
transfer to facilitate your forensic analysis of the
material.
--Further, with the delivery of this sample, we hope to
collaborate more closely on promoting a more effective
relationship between our law enforcement organizations to
counter illicit trafficking of nuclear materials.
--Efforts to work closely on nuclear smuggling and forensics
will help advance the goals outlined in our presidents'
recent joint statement in London of securing vulnerable
nuclear materials and improving nuclear security.
--Moreover, it is our hope to eventually establish a more
systematic mechanism to facilitate U.S.-Russian cooperation
on investigations into nuclear smuggling cases. We continue
to believe that Russia should be concerned by the prospect
that HEU was diverted from one of its facilities, and should
actively investigate the incident.
5. For Embassy Tbilisi: No action is required at this
point. At the appropriate time, State will send instructions
on alerting the Georgian Government that the transfer of the
seized HEU has taken place and is in Russian custody.

Here's the difference which you fail to grasp... No one is denying the Russians sought to influence Clinton during the reset. The difference is it didn't fucking work. He accused the State Dept of organizing the anti-Putin demonstrations that so infuriated him. Why would she do that if she was under his thumb. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/09/world/europe/putin-accuses-clinton-of-instigating-russian-protests.html Let's contrast that with teh public statements made by Trump about Putin...and their mutual affection.

Lawmakers are pushing for new legislation that would require greater disclosure of political ads that run on social media. Sen. Amy Klobuchar is the co-author and talks with NPR's David Greene.
This population needs to learn to think; for all attempts to create transparency, those with power will find new and innovative ways to obfuscate truths. If a population generally lacks the abilities to think critically, these positive attempts to usher in transparency are all for naught.

Manafort Had $60 Million Relationship With a Russian Oligarch
Paul Manafort, a former campaign manager for President Donald Trump, has much stronger financial ties to a Russian oligarch than have been previously reported.

Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.
“The Russians were compromising American contractors in the nuclear industry with kickbacks and extortion threats, all of which raised legitimate national security concerns. And none of that evidence got aired before the Trump administration made those decisions,” a person who worked on the case told The Hill, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution by U.S. or Russian officials.

They also obtained an eyewitness account — backed by documents — indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill.
That’s when conservative author Peter Schweitzer and The New York Times documented how Bill Clinton collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in Russian speaking fees and his charitable foundation collected millions in donations from parties interested in the deal while Hillary Clinton presided on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.
Then-Attorney General Eric Holder was among the Obama administration officials joining Hillary Clinton on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States at the time the Uranium One deal was approved. Multiple current and former government officials told The Hill they did not know whether the FBI or DOJ ever alerted committee members to the criminal activity they uncovered.

Those are certainly clear cut examples of Trump/Putin collusion. Im not sure what Mueller is doing all this time?

Classified By: EUR/FO: ACTING DAS ANITA FRIEDT E.O. 12958: REASONS 1.4 (B), (D), and (F). 1. (S) This is an action request for Embassy Moscow regarding the delivery by FBI Director Mueller of a requested sample of seized highly-enriched uranium (HEU) to appropriate Russian authorities. Please see para 3. Embassy Tbilisi see para 5. 2. (S) Background: Over two years ago Russia requested a ten-gram sample of HEU seized in early 2006 in Georgia during a nuclear smuggling sting operation involving one Russian national and several Georgian accomplices. The seized HEU has been under U.S. custody and is being held at a secure DOE facility. In response to a 2007 Russian request, the Georgian Government authorized the United States to share a sample of the material with the Russians for forensic analysis. FBI Mueller's trip to Moscow on April 27 provides an opportunity to deliver the requested ten grams from the seized HEU in order to obtain cooperation from the GOR on this nuclear smuggling case and to eventually establish a more productive mechanism of U.S.-Russian cooperation on nuclear forensics. (S//NF) While there was a reasonable exchange of information with Russian security services at the time of the seizure, we have had poor cooperation investigating the diversion of HEU, which the United States believes was stolen from a Russian facility.
