They did. 1/7
In the weeks after Donald Trump became the Republican nominee on July 19, 2016, Donald Trump was warned that foreign adversaries, including Russia, would try to spy on and infiltrate his campaign. 2/7
The warning came in the form of a high-level counterintelligence briefing by senior FBI officials. 3/7
A similar briefing was given to Hillary Clinton. Such briefings are commonly provided to presidential nominees. 4/7
Question is: Why didn't Trump report contacts with Russians to the FBI after the FBI briefings in July, 2016? 5/7
Why did Donald Trump lie about the contacts with Russians after the FBI briefings in July, 2016? 6/7

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

#Trump #Russia #SovietUnion #Treason
2.Both Kryuchkov and #Gorbachev faced #Reagan as #President, and he was in the #SovietUnion´s eyes regarded as a very strong leader, the opposite of #Carter of #Ford, when dealing with them.
