The OFFICIAL Trump/HRC/2016 General Election Thread...

[HoughMade]

I find it gratifying that no one really seems to remember what Michelle Obama tweeted.

Just did some research. Couldn't dig any archived tweets from Michelle in regards to Clinton, however I did find a tweet from Barack on Oct 10th in where he describes "Just like Michelle says, when they go low, we go high. @HillaryClinton went high and showed why she'll be a POTUS for all Americans." Well this tweet has definitely been deleted by him, so I am guessing they are having Flotus do the same. Stuff is definitely going down!

Edited to add: Something weird going on...that particular Tweet shows up on some devices but not others...any hints INGO?

"Note: Deleted Tweets may temporarily appear in Twitter search, but will clear with time."

Let's not conflate speculation and facts.

We now know of a vague letter written by Comey to Congress saying that they found some emails on Weiner's computer that may be linked to the Clinton email investigation. He wrote the letter before they had the warrant to open the emails, which implies that Comey did not know anything about the emails other than that they are on that computer. Maybe there will be more evidence that suggests the intent on Hillary's part that Comey said he didn't have earlier.

Or, what's on that computer may only impugn Huma for having State Department emails on an unauthorized device. Either way, I wouldn't expect much more to come of this.

That doesn't line up with the reporting here:

Articles: Don't Be Fooled: Hillarygate Probe Is Now a Formal Federal Criminal Investigation

[FONT=&quot]The FBI agents had to make this warrant application because their existing Fourth Amendment search authority was on the basis of Anthony Weiner's (unrelated) suspected misconduct with an underage girl. That investigation was already a grand jury matter. However, that grand jury's authority – which is supervised by a federal judge -- did not authorize the Bureau to pursue information which might be pertinent to the inquiry into Mrs. Clinton's use of a personal email server while she was Secretary of State. Making that application, under standard DOJ protocol, required approval from Main Justice. In this case, the assistant attorney in charge of the Criminal Division, if not the attorney general.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]Since the application was made, it's safe to conclude that the Criminal Division at Main Justice authorized the warrant application. Thus, at a minimum, the senior leadership of the Justice Department is not as unanimously condemnatory of FBI director Comey's letter to Congress on Friday as media reports would lead us to believe.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]It also explains why Director Comey issued his letter to Congress. The reporting tells us that the FBI's decision to make a warrant application to the supervising judge of the Weiner grand jury triggered Mr. Comey's decision to notify Congress. Having promised Congressional leaders (perhaps unwisely, since he was not required to do so) that, if the Bureau uncovered new evidence relating to Hillarygate which required further inquiry, he would so notify them, he proceeded on Friday to keep his word and do so.

They were already going through the e-mails; they needed a warrant so that they could investigate ancillary crimes uncovered as they were going through Weiner's device (and I've aslo seen it pointed out he directed them to the e-mails in an attempt to make a deal).

From what little leaks I've seen/heard, they know what the crime is/was, they just needed the warrant to make it legal. The fact that long-time Hillary people are suddenly disavowing her on national television must mean it is pretty bad, whatever it is.[/FONT][/FONT]

Wow. Hillary is only pulling 87 percent of the black vote? If they go 3rd party or Trump that is, how do you say, yuge.

Spy told FBI that Russia wants to cultivate Trump: report | TheHill

A former senior intelligence officer for a Western country who specialized in Russian counterintelligence provided the FBI with information he says shows the Russian government has spent years trying to influence Donald Trump.

The Democratic Party, Handgun Control, Inc., Starbucks and the Indianapolis Colts have spent years trying to influence me. Results? None.

Meh... when I've seen countless potential ties to Russia (Manafort being a big one) since this campaign began... and the way Russia/Wikileaks specifically benefits him... yeah, there are ties there.

How deep? Probably not as much as these articles want to imply. I'd say he's just a useful stooge to the Russians.

Ties are another woRd for relationships. Relationships do not make one a stooge.

You are entitled to your opinion though.

I would almost never answer on behalf of Hough, other than to say: Gillette, Indiana Bar Association, and Jose Cuervo. Not necessarily in that order.

Russia and Wikileaks are one in the same now?

And to think, Wikileaks used the be a media darling, when they were shoveling dirt on the the US Military, and US diplomats, via their cross dressing leaker Chelsea Manning.

Or maybe Manning is actually innocent, and all of those cables actually came from Russia?

Yes. Not having a twitter account is akin to having a life! A timesuck.

........ If anything, this election has caused me to not renew subscriptions to local and national news sources.

Good call.

Wikileaks transparent ties to Russian intel makes it, at least, a front for Russian intel.

Right now, they're doing all they can to support Trump. Wait until he's no longer useful. No one here should pretend that they don't have dirt on every other politician.
