Durham: Perkins Coie Allies Connected to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Campaign Spied on Trump’s Internet Traffic While Trump Was President

But you want your free-dumb to express your right wing political beliefs while on the job.

How so?

While the investigation identified numerous links between individuals with ties to the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump Campaign, the evidence was not sufficient to support criminal charges. Among other things, the evidence was not sufficient to charge any Campaign official as an unregistered agent of the Russian government or other Russian principal. And our evidence about the June 9, 2016 meeting [at Trump Tower between Trump campaign officials and a Russian lawyer] and WikiLeaks’s releases of hacked materials was not sufficient to charge a criminal campaign-finance violation. Further, the evidence was not sufficient to charge that any member of the Trump Campaign conspired with representatives of the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 election.

[T]he investigation established that several individuals affiliated with the Trump Campaign lied to the Office, and to Congress, about their interactions with Russian-affiliated individuals and related matters. Those lies materially impaired the investigation of Russian election interference. The Office charged some of those lies as violations of the federal false statements statute …

The Office learned that some of the individuals we interviewed or whose conduct we investigated—including some associated with the Trump Campaign—deleted relevant communications or communicated during the relevant period using applications that feature encryption or that do not provide for long-term retention of data or communications records. In such cases, the Office was not able to corroborate witness statements through comparison to contemporaneous communications or fully question witnesses about statements that appeared inconsistent with other known facts. Accordingly, while this report embodies factual and legal determinations that the Office believes to be accurate and complete to the greatest extent possible, given these identified gaps, the Office cannot rule out the possibility that the unavailable information would shed additional light on (or cast in a new light) the events described in the report.

Thanks for proving my point.

What point is that?

Man, it would help if you reviewed the context or posts before you reply to them.

The political right demands their feelings be respected while proclaiming their pride in disregarding others.

Like I said before, the investigation itself was tainted and partisan from the start. Trump did the right thing not giving up information due to the investigations shady origins and the clear bias. He wasn't charged with obstruction so the Democrats had to find some other nonsense of an excuse. They came up with the call to the Ukraine. Thank God the Senate had some sense.

By the way, since when does deleting relevant communications with regards to an investigation matter to Democrats? Hillary went so far as to have her home servers wiped clean so they could not be subpoenaed. Funny huh.

has Hillary been deplatformed yet for lying and sedition?

The Mules! Good times!

Ray "Whitey" Bulgers last words? "Hey, I see my Wing Man Robert 'The Mules' Mueller is back in the news. Tell the warden I have some stories to tell him about 'The Mules' back when he ran cover for me in Boston"

 

[BlindBoo]

has Hillary been deplatformed yet for lying and sedition?

Did she incite a riot when she lost? Did her followers want to hang Joe Biden?

 

[colfax_m]

Kneeling silently on the sideline during the anthem hurt the feelings of right wingers.

That was a big deal.

I could go on, but that’s the easiest example of this problem.

So after getting your ass smacked regarding WHY Mueller didn't charge conspiracy...you switch to

"Well it never should have been investigated"

A reminder...

An FBI investigation began in the spring of 2016 because Papadopolus got drunk and bragged about getting Russian dirt on Clinton.
That investigation was never made public during the election campaign
That investigation continued after Trump got elected
Flynn was being investigated and was fired by Trump because of HIS lies about Russian communications
Trump insisted that FBI Director Comey drop the investigation into flynn and fired him when he refused.
Trump appointee Rosenstein (acting DOJ because Sessions had recused because of HIS lies regarding Russia) appoints Mueller to investigate the firing.

Partisan?

They were ALL Republicans

 

[struth]

Just to be sure you're not full of shit...post it here ...

obviously you didn’t read the Mueller report…thanks for displaying that for us all

She spied on a President and is a bigger traitor and threat than either Benedict Arnold or the Rosenbergs

Durham hasn't alleged that the Tech-exec committed a crime when he obtained access to the DNS records. Much less claimed Clinton had anything to do with it.

 

[bripat9643]

Why would their employers care if they kneel during the anthem?

Non sequitur, however an intelligent person could figure out a lot of reasons why a Team owner wouldn't want his players pissing off the team's fans.

Stone officially left the Trump campaign on August 8, 2015. However, two associates of Stone have said he collaborated with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange during the 2016 presidential campaign to discredit Hillary Clinton. Stone and Assange have denied these claims.[26][27] Nearly three dozen search warrants were unsealed in April 2020 which revealed contacts between Stone and Assange, and that Stone orchestrated hundreds of fake Facebook accounts and bloggers to run a political influence scheme on social media.[28][29][30]

On January 25, 2019, Stone was arrested at his Fort Lauderdale, Florida, home in connection with Robert Mueller's Special Counsel investigation and charged in an indictment with witness tampering, obstructing an official proceeding, and five counts of making false statements.[31][32] In November 2019, a jury convicted him on all seven felony counts.[10][33][34] He was sentenced to 40 months in prison.[35][36]

"Collaborating" with Julian Assange is not a crime, you fucking numskull. What did he collaborate on, telling the truth? Even if Stone did create "fake Facebook Accounts and had bloggers a political influence scheme on social media," that still isn't a crime. Prog idiots seem to believe that any attempt to defeat Hillary is a crime.

The charges against Stone were all utterly bogus.

He committed a crime when he actually accessed the server, moron. Since the guy who did it works for Hillary, she obviously had something to do with it.

Only a commie would denigrate the concept of freedom. You are thoroughly and terminally servile.

 

[Lesh]

"Collaborating" with Julian Assange is not a crime,

He was not convicted of that...mostly because he obstructed justice.

Had he not...

Well Assange has been identified as a Russian asset

The records were obtained from a university group who was analyzing them.

I'm telling you man, Hillary is a ghost. You;ll never catch her, She is too smart for the GOP to catch her. How many years have they been trying to get the drop on her........Either your guys are incompetent as hell or.....
