John McCain. Phffffffft.Your post is a bit garbled but I think you are asking me what President Trump lied about. His lawyer was in touch with the Russians and updated then candidate Trump three times. And the President said he had "nothing to do with the Russians. " That's a lie. I'm tired of the lying and tired of the ostrich syndrome in my fellow conservatives. What on earth does it cost to say, as I do, "yeah he has some faults but I still hope he can do tax reform and immigration reform etc despite his faults. ". I posted the OP really out of frustration of him continuing to make it hard to support him 100%. Clearly him lying is not a problem for you to continue your fealty to him. But don't tell me a lie is not a lie because of some Clintonesque distinctions you are able to make in your own mind. It's lying.Nothing to do with what?By "you fuckers" I assume you mean me, a conservative who worked in the US government for the Reagan administration. I'm not grasping at straws really. I'm calling a lie a lie. You are fulminating and foaming at the mouth just to avoid the simple truth : he lied when he said "I had nothing To do with Russia". Pretty simple really. I don't care about the whole Russian investigation as I said above. He loses me when he lies.No......you dipshits think privately talking about Russia in your office with your lawyer is the same as colluding with Russian officials on a business deal or even worse....stealing elections.Oh I can read it well enough to see when someone lies to me. You read between the words to find an outcome that matches your beliefs. Like Bill Clinton did. I simply call it for what it is. You say it's not a lie because you don't want it to be a lie and you don't want your hero besmirched in any way. But consider this: he can be your hero and also have flaws. Like lying. Doesn't make him not the President, just makes him --- dare I say it? --- fallible. What's so hard about that?
Grasping at straws....you fuckers are inventing ways to do it.
Be specific.
The example in the OP showed nothing that he had to do with Russia.
What other example are you trying to lump into the statement?
You are one of the few Trump supporters that have admitted that. Most are still suffering from OCDS--(obsessive Clinton derangement sydrome). This is very serious and it is just another piece of the pie. It exhibits the leaks that have been coming out of White House cabinet--aids and staffers of Donald Trump (that he hired.) It's very clear they don't trust him. He is totally isolated now according to Newt Gingrich--and every single week this goes on, and has been going on since the election. The Senate nor the congress is going to work with him on any new legislation--this investigation has taken the air out of them.
I imagine this leak came from the Dossier file that sprung back to life last week. The CEO of Fusion GPS testified in from of the Senate hearing for 10 solid hours. Jeb Bush originally hired Fusion GPS to do opposition research on Trump, then dropped it when it was clear he wasn't going to win, then Democrats picked it up and then dropped it when Trump won.
Fusion GPS hired a retired M1-6 agent, Christopher Steele to investigate Trump--who had worked spying on Russia for many years. He became very concerned over what he was finding and turned the dossier file over to John McCain who then in turn passed it onto Barack Obama. A few days later Obama kicked out all Russian diplomats. And it's been reported by several sources that Obama preserved intelligence, citing he would then turn it over to a special prosecutor which I am certain that Mueller has already.

Obama administration reportedly raced to preserve intelligence on possible contact between Russians and Trump associatesIn the final hours of Barack Obama's presidency, some White House officials reportedly raced to spread and preserve information about possible communications between associates of then-candidate Donald Trump and Russians.The New York Times, citing former American officials, reported that these officials were concerned that the information they were gaining on the Russian meddling in the election and the possible campaign contact could be compromised with the new administration, and they wanted to set up any future investigation with the information.According to The Times, after Obama asked for an investigation into Russian tampering into the elections, officials found some "damning" evidence
Republicans have two options:
1. Remove Trump from office asap or
2. Burn the entire party down in 2018--2020 & beyond
If Republicans can do 8 investigations into Benghazi, it's not hard to imagine what Democrats will do with Treason, Obstruction & lies when they take over. Everyone is also going to get a great education into what that Emoluments clause in the constitution is all about all. Another impeachable offense, if Democrats don't want to go along with the current set-up.

Rachel Maddow has been soaring past FOX NEWS and CNN because she is the only one that is reporting the details on this Russian investigation. She explains the Dossier file and the 10 hour Senate Intelligence hearing in this.
