That's such a weak crack, Salty, or perhaps you were merely being sarcastic?
Did the HRC folks know they were purchasing Russian disinformation? If so, TLD is right, refer them for criminal prosecution.
But that just doesn't appear to be factual, so...
In contrast, the Trump crew seemed to know what they were doing was wrong, that it was the Russians, and they lied and covered it up.
Different order of offense.
What's weak are your lame excuses & failure to acknowledge HRC's Russian disinformation operation, covertly funded & executed via Fusion GPS.
You're correct that it was a different order of offense. It included the willing participation of serving govt officials.
ok, "weak and lame". I didn't vote for HRC, found her sleazy in all sorts of ways, much less I haven't voted for D for President in 40 years. (2020 may change that run).
But there's been
no credible information, at least so far, that says the HRC folks
knew they were receiving Russian-sourced information, accurate or not.
Again, if what you keep implying were actually true, that elected officials were complicit, knowingly, then I'd say nail'em. Prosecute.
But the facts just don't seem to support that allegation. So, the only reason to keep touting that canard is to distract from what the Trump folks actually were doing and lying about...and still are.
I can't figure out any other rational explanation for your plugging away on that other than that you just don't want to face what the Trump folks actually did and are still doing. You're afraid of "Cold War" with the Russians? Let me ask you a question: should we have rolled over for the Soviets at Berlin? Cuba? When do you take a stand and when do you not?
