It's obvious to all but the most ardent Trump apologists that he is being blackmailed. How submissive he is towards Russia is unworldly. Even a natural affinity towards Russia doesn't explain this inexplicable sense of urgency he has to supplicate to their interests.
The Trump Jr. e-mail leak was Russia turning up the heat (How do you think NYT got those e-mails?), and Trump is responding.
It must be something worse than a pee tape. This guy is graveling.

It's because he got played like a fiddle by Putin. So did the rest of America. Russia made you all look like retarded bitches.

>What do the Russians have on Trump?
The peepee tape, obviously.
>What do the Russians have on Trump?
Nothing, the sanctions are just fucking stupid at this point. We do that against countries that threaten us.

Sanctions weren't doing anyone any good.

Expound? Or does the DNI not think that Russia took active measures to influence the election all of a sudden?
Trump and Merkel giving it hard to Hillary. So says White House Anon.

Even if that were true (it's not. It's put a lot of pressure on Russia), they aren't doing America so bad that Trump has to get things done on Russia's schedule, especially when it's politically hazardous to deal with Russia at all right now. Someone with the bare minimum amount of awareness of optics would push this issue aside until the political climate more welcoming, unless of course having 60% of the country think you're a Russian puppet is better than whatever dirt Russia has on you getting out.

We've been dealing with "Russian active measures" since before our great grandpa's were born. I sided with Drumpf and we used the same propaganda. It's how social persuasion has effectively worked for over a century now, especially when you consider how Lenin basically invented marketing. Am I notorious KGB agent now? They aren't talking about hidden servers or anything romantic and Hollywood tier. There weren't Russian agents changing the polls. Ivan wasn't pulling a Splinter Cell into DNC hq and leaking their comms. Like always, US intel are trying to justify their wages, while tip toeing around fucking with China or Israel, or the problems they will continue to create for the west.
You have no idea what you're talking about.

Its obvious to all but the most ardent hillary apologists that the muh russia crap is just that crap.

We actively influence elections all over the world.

Please lift sanctions!
