What was that? Neither clear nor concise. A poor effort at comedy or cynicism, not sure which.

If he has nothing to hide, why doesn't he just give full cooperation and get on with his legislative agenda?

He doesn't know how. Giving in to distractions gives him an easy excuse for not doing his job.

You obviously have access to highly sensitive information that the 17 intelligence agencies in the U. S. don't. You really should share that with them. I'm sure they will be hugely grateful.

So the claims to the contrary by the US intelligence community are just part of a smear campaign by the deep state establishment?

Or is this your drier-than-a-popcorn-fart sarcasm?

Trump admits under investigation.  Note this date in history: Trump told the truth

Remember Nixon took a couple of years to be forced out, and not for the break in but the cover up.

I think you can blame Hollywood for that, leader of the free world, most powerful man on the planet etc. He cant actually make his own legislation etc, and can only override legislation/constitution in certain circumstances and is not above the law.. Even if he refuses to sign some legislation, congress can meet again and it goes through.

Trouble is, he believes the Hollywood portrayal.

Trump is constantly under pressure and every day he comes out with more and more bizarre tweets and statements.  At the end of most news bulletins the presenters will try to come up with one of the lighter/funnier moments.  Trump is perfect fodder for them.  Given that, can anyone see Trump not only surviving but actually getting through this and being a proper POTUS?

A completely baseless statement.

 

You are just making stuff up.

I would not call it entirely baseless.  Seems like all we have been told is that the Russians possibly "attempted" to influence the election and that the Russians "possibly" hacked the DNC computers. That's all we have been told officially by the government at this point. I find it difficult to understand why the government can't release some credible evidence that this occurred.  The report issued by the government from the intelligence agencies offered little in the way of information to put the matter to rest.

 

There is no evidence to date that Trump or his political campaign "colluded" with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary. Further, if asking Comey to let the Flynn investigation go  has something to do with the Russian interference in the election please enlighten.  We don't even know that was the case or what the context of the supposed statement was. But also the Flynn investigation was a completely separate investigation. Additionally if firing Comey could somehow influence the FBI investigation into the Russians, please also enlighten me.  The FBI investigation is still on going.  Sessions testified before Congress that the investigation continues on with ample resources and agents continuing to do their job.  We now have another investigation by Mueller and already have leaks about this and that, nothing that gives us anything but innuendos feeding the news frenzy.  With all the leaks to date nothing has been the smoking gun.  So it would seem that with two congressional investigations, the FBI investigation, all having been in process for months and months there is nothing we can point to indicating that there was collusion. The obstruction of justice is relatively new and it will go no where.  Even Comey testified basically that he did not know what to make of Trump's supposed remarks.  Where is anyone going to go with that.  Mueller will have no better luck than the FBI finding collusion.

In typical myopic Trumpeteer fashion, you have weakly attempted to conflate two investigations into one.

But, I'll get you up to date regarding one of your concerns: 

 

"WASHINGTON — American spies collected information last summer revealing that senior Russian intelligence and political officials were discussing how to exert influence over Donald J. Trump through his advisers, according to three current and former American officials familiar with the intelligence."

 

"The intelligence was among the clues — which also included information about direct communications between Mr. Trump’s advisers and Russian officials — that American officials received last year as they began investigating Russian attempts to disrupt the election and whether any of Mr. Trump’s associates were assisting Moscow in the effort."

 

"The information collected last summer was considered credible enough for intelligence agencies to pass to the F.B.I., which during that period opened a counterintelligence investigation that is continuing."

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/24/us/politics/russia-trump-manafort-flynn.html?mcubz=0&_r=0

 

"The United States Intelligence Community has concluded with high confidence that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election."

 

"A January 2017 assessment by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) stated that Russia favored presidential candidate Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, and that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally ordered an "influence campaign" to harm Clinton's electoral chances and "undermine public faith in the US democratic process".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_elections

 

"Decades of Russian covert attempts to undermine confidence in western institutions, including planting or promoting false news stories or spreading doubt about the integrity of elections, will accelerate in the future unless the US confronts so-called “active measures”, several experts testified to the Senate intelligence committee."

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/30/trump-russia-fake-news-senate-intelligence-committee

 

“Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election” between Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, according to the U.S. intelligence community."

 

"Russian intelligence services gained access to the computer network of Democratic Party officials and released the hacked material to WikiLeaks and others “to help President-elect Trump’s election chances,” the IC said in a report released earlier this year."

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/06/12/timeline-key-moments-russia-investigation-election/102786216/

 

 

"The Russian officials felt confident they could use the two men to help shape Mr Trump’s opinions on Russia."

 

"The intercepted conversations included Russians boasting that they knew Mr Flynn really well."

 

"Others discussed levering relationships with Viktor Yanukovych, the former president of Ukraine exiled in Russia, who used to work closely with Mr Manafort."

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-russia-aides-manafort-flynn-spies-discussed-how-to-influence-president-a7754531.html

 

"The Obama administration on Thursday announced its retaliation for Russian efforts to interfere with the US presidential election, ordering sweeping new sanctions that included the expulsion of 35 Russians."

 

"US intelligence services believe Russia ordered cyber-attacks on the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Hillary Clinton’s campaign and other political organizations, in an attempt to influence the election in favor of the Republican candidate, Donald Trump."

 

“I have issued an executive order that provides additional authority for responding to certain cyber activity that seeks to interfere with or undermine our election processes and institutions, or those of our allies or partners,” Obama said in the statement, released while he was vacationing with his family in Hawaii."

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/29/barack-obama-sanctions-russia-election-hack

 

"Mr Obama had promised retaliation against Russia and it came in rolling announcements, with 35 Russian diplomats given 72 hours to leave the country."

 

"Russia will also be blocked from accessing two compounds in New York and Maryland that were used by Russian personnel for "intelligence-related purposes".

 

"In a bid to expose Moscow's cyber aggression, the US also released a detailed report about Russia's hacking infrastructure that it said was designed to help computer specialists prevent more hacking."

Your futile attempt at avoiding reality, is just that.

P.S. Revealing evidence and sources during an ongoing investigation,  is just a delusional pipe dream of the desparate Trumpeteers.

I didn't claim there was evidence.

My point was that no one knows except the investigators and they won't tell until the investigation is completed.
