Re: Russian plots
If the meetings were the reason for the suspicion you might have a point. But they aren't. The fact that both Flynn and Sessions didn't admit to their contacts with the Russians when they should have is more important. And even that is less important than the evidence of Russian attempts to influence the election and the shift towards a more pro-Russian stance.
There are a lot of things suggesting a relationship with the Russians that may have gone beyond what is proper. And the cover-up attempts only make it look more plausible.

Re: Russian plots
quote:
They had no reason to "admit" to contacts that were completely unrelated to the questions asked them, as Sessions clearly explains in his interview with Tucker Carlson. He answered the questions honestly as he understood them.
Flynn was sacked for lying to Pence on the matter. Are you saying that the Trump administration lied about that ?
And I have seen the transcript of the question. There is no reasonable doubt that Session's answer was misleading.
quote:
Why would they even THINK of mentioning something so irrelevant? They wouldn't. Only a weasel Leftist would think of it and hang it on them. Flynn was railroaded. Trump should have defended him.
Obviously the fact of the communications was relevant. If they had just come clean at the start Sessions would probably not be in trouble. I understand that Flynn may be because of the content of the telephone calls
quote:
What evidence? There isn't any evidence. It's all a figment of the Leftist imagination in the service of the witch hunt.
Leaks of material taken from the DNC by groups which appear to be State-sponsored Russian hackers seem like enough evidence for suspicion.
quote:
Imaginary cover-up attempts for an imaginary offense.
Oh there are good reasons to think that there is a cover-up. And if the offence were imaginary that seems odd. Funny how people with the ability to manufacture a conspiracy from some emails which are at worst a little odd won't see anything untoward here.
quote:
What's "pro-Russian" about wanting to have good relations with Russia, same thing Kerry was seeking in his visit in 2015? Why wasn't that "pro-Russian?"
Yawn. It is quite clear that the Trump regime is more friendly toward Russia than the previous administration and with the amount of Russian sabre rattling, the events in the Ukraine and the possibility of interference in the presidential election that is of concern.

Re: More evidence of the horrors in Europe for you all to deny
Brexit ? Seems there was an even bigger brouhaha when some States tried to leave the Union.

Re: Some more evidence of Muslim problem in Europe you can all deny
People don't say that there aren't problems. People say that the problems are much smaller than your videos claim, mostly aren't special to Muslims (and even one of the videos you posted showed us a mosque of peaceful praying Muslims without the slightest hint that THEY were a problem) - and we can live with them.
And given the number of problems with your videos that have come up, surely you ought to realise that they are not reliable. Which is a major reason why they are not convincing.

Re: Some more evidence of Muslim problem in Europe you can all deny
The point - which should be obvious - is that your videos do not necessarily show the message you want to convey. And if you don't notice that before posting the videos what else have you missed ?
