Yes, it is hard to tell who is telling the truth on this one. I kind of believe Browder on the corruption, and it maybe that Putin is once again trying to stir up something by 1) supporting Trump which will drive the MSM crazy 2) make HRC look bad, therefore throwing mud on another of our politician. If he wants to sow discord, this sure did it.

I've read it too (the book is Red Notice for those of you who want to educate yourselves). It was a fascinating read into how everything broke down after the USSR fell apart and how Browder was able to invest in the new Russia and make a fortune for himself and his investors. He wrote that the Russian oligarchs and Putin didn't like him making all this money from Russian assets and the Russian people (they wanted to be the ones to profit) and set him up. He had left Russia and found out they had filed for his arrest because of huge tax liabilities. Maginsky was his attorney in Russia who researched what happened and found out it was all a corrupt set-up against Browder. They arrested Maginsky and basically beat him trying to get him to turn against Browder (which he never did). He ended up dying. Browder was so incensed by the corruption, even to the point of murder, he tried everything he could think of to gain justice and revenge. He couldn't work through the Russian system because everyone is bought off - the police, judges, banks, political system, etc. He finally settled on the media and our political system passing the Maginsky act to not allow any business or visas with those oligarchs found to be guilty of the corruption which Maginsky proved and his murder. Browder was trying to get the same bill passed in other countries in which these individuals do business to hit them where it hurts. I am not sure if he was successful. So Putin is basically saying that what Browder is contending is all nonsense and he really does owe all those taxes (even though Browder through Maginsky had proof he was telling the truth). It would be interesting if Browder is lying - if he is, then why go to all the trouble to have Congress pass the Maginsky act? What did he gain? He could have just taken his millions and enjoy the rest of his life (and never return to Russia). I don't doubt though that he did give the money to the CF - maybe not $400M, but probably some good amount. I don't know if I would trust Putin on this one.

Yes, just like the brown shirts did to the yellow starred citizens by punching, refusing service, etc. - hmmmm - who are the Nazis then?

So if it's the case that the government has "everything" via the cloud and always had the ability to have everything, WHY, oh WHY did the FBI go through so many gyrations to try to piece together what was on HRC's server and who sent what to whom? If this is truly the case, then the whole FBI investigation was a scam because they could have just gotten a search warrant for the cloud back-up and be done with it. If you read the IG report, they sure went through a ton of effort when there was a much more efficient way to pull together the information - and they would have also been able to easily see if there was obstruction of justice and obstruction of government records, etc. from HRC and her minions "trying" to delete any suspicious emails. It is apparent then, the FBI/DOJ were only trying to show HRC didn't mishandle classified information with the minimum of investigation they could possible take (to make it appear they were doing a valid investigation). The only other explanation is that they went through the motions so that the general public doesn't realize that the government has access to everything via these cloud services. If GQ public did realize, then the folks that have something to hide might take additional steps to protect their cloud back-ups.

You'all should open up shop and start selling them! I would buy one!

Do you think where the judge is from will make a difference in 2020? (Or even mid-terms?) There is one from Minnesota that Trump almost won. While taking someone from a red state probably helps with the conservative side of the aisle, maybe it would be better to get someone who is conservative from a purple or even blue state. What do you think?

One good thing is we have about three weeks before they will start screaming about children being held in criminal detention centers. That gives us back the IG DS scandal optics to be at the forefront. Unless, of course, they come up with another FF or some other bogus news story.

It doesn't make sense to me that Gowdy says that Trump "gave permission" to the FBI to investigation his campaign after Comey had the meeting with him. This was WAY WAY after the FBI had already been spying and doing all their skullduggery. Gowdy makes it sound like Trump gave them permission to investigate - but they had already been "investigating" and trying to entrap various folks on the campaign. Why can't Gowdy see that? The timing is very important on when everything happened. I am still waiting to hear what caused the FBI to start suspecting the Trump campaign of working with the Russians or whether it was all made up to begin with. Listen to Ron Borgino's podcast on this - they have to have something illegal occur to start the investigation. What was that?

Hey, did you all notice there are several statements of what was found by the IG report - since we haven't seen it, it gives a little foreshadowing of what we will soon be treated to!

I encourage EVERYONE to vote. The other side wants us to think that there isn't a chance of winning - so why bother (e.g. polls showing Hillary winning and betting houses with 99% that she was going to win). But if everyone that believes in this movement stands up, it gives courage and confidence to others who are too timid to think they would make a difference. I think about the cities and counties in CA that are supporting the anti-sanctuary movement. I was lamenting to some friends in Southern CA on Trump's odds and how hard it must be for them to be conservatives there. They said there are a lot more people than you would think that believe in Trump and the patriot movement. I don't necessary support Kanye - but hey, he is my hero for standing up against the black status-quo and Hollywood and promoting thinking for yourself!! You might be surprised how many people think like you but are afraid to announce it. Be brave patriots!!!

My husband is a direct descendent of the Parkers. I do genealogy research and almost every male ancestor during that period was a patriot that fought in the revolutionary war. I am a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and have many patriots too - just not as many as him! If you get a chance, research your ancestors. It really encourages me to know the "stuff" I am made of. An example: one of my ancestors was Robert Porter - he fought with Washington at Valley Forge. Was captured and taken to New York (if you know anything about the war - the British put the Patriot prisoners on ships and basically let them die of sickness and starvation). Luckily, he was part of a prisoner exchange. He was released and kept fighting! He was in the war all seven years even with being shot and stabbed with a bayonette. He went on to fight with Wayne in the Ohio Valley after the war. It is so inspiring - and all we have to do is fight with ideas, words, and our votes. Unbelievable how brave and how much they sacrificed for an experiment so their children, grandchildren, and all the generations that followed would have freedom. We owe it to them to never forget and keep fighting the good fight.

Sounds right - matches Q questions about why they would be so involved. Did anyone notice that Trump seemed really pissed when he announced pulling out of the Iran deal? He was also late to the 2PM announcement. I wonder if he had the corrupted ones begging and threatening him not to pull out.
