BREAKING: Volume 5 of the Senate Intel Committee’s counterintelligence report - nearly 1,000 pages - has finally been released.
"The Committee found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president."
"Moscow's intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process."
"Moscow's intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process."
"The Trump Campaign publicly undermined the attribution of the hack-and-leak campaign to Russia and was indifferent to whether it and WikiLeaks were furthering a Russian election interference effort."
"Trump and senior Campaign officials sought to obtain advance information about WikiLeaks's planned releases through Roger Stone. At their direction, Stone took action to gaini nside knowledge for the Campaign and shared his purported knowledge directly with Trump."
"Trump and the Campaign believed that Stone had inside information and expressed satisfaction that Stone's information suggested more releases would be forthcoming."

Guess who wants to abolish NATO: Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. Why?
A fundamental battle between democracy and fascism has been building again for years. I hope this is the moment that stops the rising tide of autocracy.
Yes, @HillaryClinton was right 7 years ago: Donald Trump is Vladimir Putin’s puppet.
WOW - Ulysses S. Grant nailed it: “The dividing line will not be Masons and Dixons, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”
I would add corruption, avarice, greed and zealotry to the nefarious side of the equation. (Of course the usage of the word "ambition" was intended to capture some of these traits.)
When did the GOP stop competing in the arena of ideas?
Mitch McConnell will intentionally let the United States default in order to advance his partisan agenda. He really is one of the worst senators in our republic's history.
His motto: power above all.
When the market goes into a tail spin, assets lose value, and inflation accelerates, it will be because of his partisan maneuver.
George Washington kicked officers out of the army if they refused to get inoculated against small pox. It was a key decision that helped our country defeat the British. Vaccination is a patriotic duty - to protect our spouses, children, parents, siblings, and friends.
Take your "Don't Tread On Me" flags and read a book you imbeciles.
I am positive that the "autodidact" and "historian," @CawthornforNC, will be surprised to learn this bit of American history.
