Quote:Now that he's been elected, can we just admit this is factual and should raise a red (pun intended) flag? A superpower that is considered an adversary and elements of our FBI were both colluding to get this man in office. And succeeded.

 

Did you purposely ignore a minor detail in an effort to make this about Trump?

 

Russia reached out to Trump AND Clinton during the election.  According to Ryabkov, it's routine outreach done with both campaigns. 

 

The Obama administration has basically bungled the tenuous relationship we had with Russia because of his and Kerry/Clinton's incompetence.  I'd be far more encouraged by the fact that Russia was trying to keep an open dialog with both camps so that they could try to smooth things over once the new president takes office in January, regardless of who that was.  Although, as is typical, they did say the Clinton camp was borderline useless. 

 

Trump SHOULD try to normalize relations with Russia.  Remember, Obama didn't even think Russia was a threat 4 years ago when Romney made that claim and he literally laughed it off.  Suddenly Russia is a problem.  Go figure.
