Insane timeline of Russia's "hacking" the 2016 election

by Bob R/CA

Feb 2, 2018

I was reading the timeline of Russia's interference in our 2016 election, and the Trump campaign's incredibly extensive involvement - and I was amazed at the facts that line up to document it.

I was amazed at how long and detailed the timeline is - see for yourself!

I was amazed that I was amazed - it's insane that we are treating this scandal as if its just some normal mechanics of our political machinery.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL! I challenge any patriot to read this timeline, and NOT be alarmed about our sovereignty, our security, and our future....

Tim Finnegan You are right on most accounts here, Bob. It is insane. I still disagree with the term "hacking"... where is the evidence that the vote totals were manipulated?

Why are we not calling for the head of Mueller for dragging out this investigation unnecessarily? Wikipedia has just proven Trump guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. He should be imp...See More

Chalky Tim, if you think the Trump-Russia investigation is taking a long time do some research on Clinton/Whitewater/Starr. Best not get your undies in a bundle thinking this will end soon.

Tim Finnegan I hope that when they finally do prove collusion they prosecute the guy to the fullest extent of the law. But this Wikipedia article so clearly spells it out, I cannot believe Mueller is dragging his feet. The evidence is clear!

Unfortunately, I think that Mueller may be working under a different legal standard than Starr. There are two me...See More

T.E.C. - Iowa Bob, you are going paranoid on us, along with much of the rest of the country. A constructed timeline is not proof. In a court, you would have to prove the timeline is more than a coincidence - and you could not! Plus, as yet, there is no publicly available evidence that the Russians did anything major to sway the election.

In fact, the sa...See MoreBob, you are going paranoid on us, along with much of the rest of the country. A constructed timeline is not proof. In a court, you would have to prove the timeline is more than a coincidence - and you could not! Plus, as yet, there is no publicly available evidence that the Russians did anything major to sway the election.

In fact, the same kind of timeline could be constructed regarding the activities of Israel and Saudi Arabia meddling in our elections. And this is the major take away, if you believe that Russia can mess with our elections then any country, be it China, North Korea, or Iran, can mess with American elections.

The problem is not Russia or any other country the problem is our electoral system. With "Citizens United" this country traded "one citizen, one vote" for "one dollar, one vote." Add to this, gerrymandering, vote caging, voter suppression laws, and more, and, the truth is, your democracy was gone long before the Clintons decided to use Russia as an excuse for their horrendous election failure, and the military industrial complex decided to immediately be on board with the idea, because they need a big, dangerous enemy so they can devour more tax dollars.

Then there is the pot calling the kettle black. No country messes with other countries' elections the way America does. And then we get all indignant when we "think" someone did to us what we regularly do to others. The point, if Russia is awful; America is far, far worse!!! Again, if messing in foreign elections makes you bad, then America is horrendously horrible.

And finally, the paranoia! If you are reading this list and truly evaluating what you read this should be a red flat, "Jill Stein speaks briefly with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at a Russia Today gala in New York City."

This paranoia over Russia has brought is to this awful place. If you even talk to a "Russian Foreign Minister" the implication is you are a traitor and possibly guilty of treason. This type of thinking - this type of paranoia - is exactly why Senator Joseph Welch asked Senator Joe McCarthy, "You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"

This type of thinking not only defames the character of American citizens such as Jill Stein; this thinking has turned Russia into a foreign policy enemy that will prevent America and Russia from collaborating on peace in the Middle East. In the opinion of the experts I listen to, such cooperation is a requirement for peace in the Middle East - and many other parts of the world.

The military industrial complex thanks you for your support!

Tim Finnegan TEC, Bob has consistently repeated the talking points of the left and proved collusion... um obstruction of justice... um ... nothing.

I wish Mueller would listen to Bob and Wikipedia and actually present his case instead of putting politics in place of justice and waiting until the election to decide anything. Bob has laid it out, as has ...See More
