you all think Trump was dumb enough to ask a General to do something illegal.
I think every new yorker has more street smarts than that.

the trump-russia story is the same to democrats as hillary's email story was to republicans

probably has no merit but liberals are desperate and will cling to anything at this point

Trump asked Comey to lie for him

Reince Priebus Asked the FBI to Assure Reporters There Was Nothing to the Russia Story. They Refused.

Kevin DrumFeb. 24, 2017 1:29 AM

Last week the New York Times reported that members of Donald Trump's campaign staff "had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election. The White House vigorously denies this, and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus went on TV to knock down the story. That's fine. But it turns out Priebus did more than that. According to CNN, Priebus asked the FBI to tell reporters that there was nothing to the story:

The discussions between the White House and the bureau began with FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus on the sidelines of a separate White House meeting the day after the stories were published, according to a U.S. law enforcement official.

White House official said that Priebus later reached out again to McCabe and to FBI Director James Comey asking for the FBI to at least talk to reporters on background to dispute the stories. A law enforcement official says McCabe didn't discuss aspects of the case but wouldn't say exactly what McCabe told Priebus.

Comey rejected the request for the FBI to comment on the stories, according to sources, because the alleged communications between Trump associates and Russians known to US intelligence are the subject of an ongoing investigation.

I wonder if anyone in the Trump White House even understands how inappropriate this is? They might not. Partly it's because they're so inexperienced, and partly it's because they've all been marinating in the Trump worldview that you're a chump if you let delicate moral sensibilities get in the way of hitting back against your enemies. They might well believe that asking the FBI to talk to reporters is no different than asking the press secretary to talk to reporters.

If this is true, it's no excuse. I'm just curious. If Priebus knew this was wrong, it's hard to believe that he would have pressed the bureau multiple times, even knowing that it was almost certain to leak eventually.

In other words, at best they're muttonheads. At worst they're casually corrupt. Take your pick.

That's the thing. They can't believe Donald Trump is real. Because they can't believe a man like Donald Trump could ever be President.
 
as max pointed out the other thread.. no way Trump would have fired a guy who was doing illegal things for him.

Again... Trump did business in New York. No way he got where he was being stupid. New York Politicians, Unions, Mafia....everyone looking to get a piece of your action. When he was moving up if you did not count you change you lost your fingers. Every time I went out in the city if I got distracted I ripped off. You had to be on your game and their game... every time. Every deal you made from buying a drink to cutting a deal with a Wall Street bank... if you looked the least bit dumb you got screwed.

You all don't understand how tough new york business is if you think Trump is stupid enough to ask Flynn to do illegal stuff and then fire him. Wall streets guys did not even get to be wall street guys in expensive suits unless they ripped off their grandmother 3 times and Trump made billions working with those guys.

I am not even a fan of him right now after the Ryan care deal... but the man is not dumb. you would have to be dumb to think a guy who made it big in new york was dumb.
