[quote] WASHINGTON — Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials. American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time that they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee, three of the officials said. The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election. The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, so far, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation. But the intercepts alarmed American intelligence and law enforcement agencies, in part because of the amount of contact that was occurring while Mr. Trump was speaking glowingly about the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin. At one point last summer, Mr. Trump said at a campaign event that he hoped Russian intelligence services had stolen Hillary Clinton’s emails and would make them public. The officials said the intercepted communications were not limited to Trump campaign officials, and included other associates of Mr. Trump. On the Russian side, the contacts also included members of the Russian government outside of the intelligence services, the officials said. All of the current and former officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the continuing investigation is classified. The officials said that one of the advisers picked up on the calls was Paul Manafort, who was Mr. Trump’s campaign chairman for several months last year and had worked as a political consultant in Russia and Ukraine. The officials declined to identify the other Trump associates on the calls. The call logs and intercepted communications are part of a larger trove of information that the F.B.I. is sifting through as it investigates the links between Mr. Trump’s associates and the Russian government, as well as the D.N.C. hack, according to federal law enforcement officials. As part of its inquiry, the F.B.I. has obtained banking and travel records and conducted interviews, the officials said.

[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;51824070][B][I][U]what the fuck do the voters understand what we've voted for do they care?[/U][/I][/B][/QUOTE] Currently, conservative websites seem to be criticizing the fact that Flynn's calls were recorded by intelligence agencies as opposed to the fact that he practically committed treason. That and somehow all of the problems the Trump administration is having is Obama's fault.
Oh holy shit

This is definitely worthy of impeachment. If this doesn't get through, I'm going to be completely [B]pissed[/B]
[QUOTE=Shadow801;51824096]I'm going to bed now If I wake up in 4 hrs and Trump is not impeached, I will cry for you, America[/QUOTE] Better start crying now, 'cause America has been looking like a lost cause for a few weeks now
Compared to other stuff that comes up and most people go "Oh nothing will come of it" what makes this one different? Just genuinely asking not criticizing, all of this stuff coming out is blending together and I wanna know if I should be normally anxious or extra

Eventually we'll reach a tipping point where it becomes better for the Republicans' careers to throw the whole administration out. Whether this is it or just a sign of things to come remains to be seen.

But is this real or is this just the bitter left wing version of Birthers and so on. What is real and what isn't? I don't know but I certainly don't want to get hyped over something [i]just yet[/i] because my wing of the media wants me to think something.
I personally think it's because the majority control of the government right now knows it can get its goals done through them.

Jeeeesus christ if this is legit and not "hurr durr fake news" this is some serious fucking shit. Part of me wants it to be real to get the twat out of office. Part of me wants it to not be because if its true, then America, the shining beacon of democracy for the western world, literally had it's election rigged by the ruskies.
[QUOTE=Judas;51824150]the GOP will not impeach donald trump under any circumstances[/QUOTE] It's not like he's the only person standing between the Democrats and the White House. The only thing they have to lose is Trump fanboys who may be working in their favor right now but they aren't really an electoral goldmine.
