Hilary paid Fusion GPS to continue their opposition research started by Rubios campaign. Hilary, as far we know, didn’t direct Fusion as to where to look for dirt.
“if they conspired to steal it” Bingo! This is still unresolved
“In a court of law” true however they have a pretty lengthy indictment going into great detail regard who and what happened. I guess we will see.
I am not saying it was, necessarily, the point is, you can’t go around busting people for trafficking stolen goods before you have proven they were actually stolen to begin with. Nor do we generally prosecute people for trafficking in stolen information, if we did there would be a lot of journalists sitting in jail. If they want to throw someone in the Trump campaign in jail for seeing or using those stolen emails they are going to have to lock up every journalist who printed or broadcast them as well.
The guy that Hillary sent was actually first hired by Fusion GPS, who in turn was hired by the Washington Free Beacon, who was funded by a donor who supported Marco Rubio. So any problem you have with Steele’s connections to Clinton, presumably, you have with Rubio as well.
Yes, I doubt the DNC was reaching out to the organization that had possession of their stolen property to ascertain what they had, when they would be releasing it and what else they planned to do. That seems an odd way to treat someone with your stolen goods. that would be like calling the guy who bought your stolen car and asking him if he was planning on taking a drive to teh country this weekend.
Every US intelligence agency, and the Trump DoJ thinks the russians stole the emails. So, you know, yeah, it probably wasn’t the russians.
So you are all good as long as Trump didn’t specifically direct them to obtain stolen emails but just gave them a general directive to find any dirt they could on her? And how do you know what he was directed to do, did anyone investigate him?
If they were in on it from the beginning why were they trying to find out what was in them long after the fact? And if they wanted to steal them why on earth would they use Russia to get them when any two bit US blackhat hacker could have gotten them just as easily? And why in the world would Trump publicly call on Russia to find them, knowing he had already directed them to steal them and they had succeeded None of that adds up in the slightest.
My argument centers on the double standard. Trump haters conveniently ignore the double standard, looking only to focus on anything that could bring Trump down. That is really what this whole Russia collusion narrative is all about. It was manufactured by Trump hating LIBs, because Trump wasn’t supposed to win. They have yet to come to terms with Hillary’s defeat.
I think that is a question for the DOJ. They are Trump appointed people that should be able to bring charges against these people if they can prove the case.
