It's past the time to put up or shut up. I honestly think if there was a smoking gun it would have appeared long ago. When bin Laden was killed, there were pictures of his body online hours after he was killed. 

You think Mueller is down there in the FBI  basement because he likes eating sweet and sour takeout every night?

These ads weren't from the same Kremlin-linked troll farm that bought ads on FB. It's the tip of the Zuckerberg.

I honestly think that he is down in the basement trying to drudge up something that will stick in court bc the Democrat Elite wants him too. But as of yet we don't have anything that even amounts to any sort of collusion that the Dems are looking for to being down this president.

Obviously there ain't no probable cause because there ain't no warrant is there? 

 

At least with Hillary we had a inkling of what's going on and some red flags.

I don't understand your question. The platform is YouTube.  It is apparent what they were trying to impact and it was not Russian opinion.

My point is that I am pretty sure it was not just the Russians buying adds in hopes to get information out.  Why are the Russians singled out?

It's probably all fake.  Google just wanted some free publicity.

They certainly got some revenue.

The reason (and you have said on several occasions you do not mind) is that we don't let foreign governments influence our elections.   Putin is a thug and criminal that uses tools he learned in the KGB and wants to influence the Wests decision-making process , even if his candidates don't win he wants NATO neutered, a Russian puppet in the former USSR states and the ability to have his Mob friends traffic and launder their money using our banking system. 

If you are ok with it fine, but at least enforce the laws that restrict unregistered agents.    Google, Twitter and Facebook need to get ahead of this before the Congress steps up and regulates their business.

Muller is going to make an example of Manafort and Flynn for starters, who knows where this is going to stop.

Several warrants and two secret grand juries....it is well known.

Doesn’t the US government do things to influence foreign elections?  Regardless, from what I have read, these purchases cannot be tied to the Russian government.  However, I am all for these platforms not allowing any political ad buying at all regardless of the source of the revenue.

Did we violate their laws when/if we did?
