She’s just trying to keep the government dysfunctional. She needs to go live with her employers in Russia.

Believe it or not, this is American politics. Not everything goes back to red scare propaganda about Russia infiltrating the US.

You’re right. Not everything.

But this is.

a convenient cop out is what this is. You think someone as dumb as her could really keep a secret like that? You think she’s smart enough to have Opsec standards? You really believe she’s using burner phones and dead drops to communicate with Moscow? She can’t read above a fifth grade level and she’s outsmarting the three letter agencies and secret service?

Yeah, I can’t believe anyone would dare try to like the Republican party to Russia. Next thing you’ll see is people claiming that Republican politicians flew to Moscow on July 4th, but that’s just a crazy accusation that is too crazy to be believable.

I guess senate majority Leader Chuck Schumer must be a Chinese communist then, right?

No, it’s not innocence. Look at the instance they’re from. They just have to come to Russia’s defence every time.

I’ve yet to see any evidence presented of Russia bribing politicians. It wouldn’t even fit their playbook. Have you read Foundations of Geopolitics?

True, but in this case it certainly does.

You think she understands the ethnic details of people in Ukraine and just happens to have formed an opinion that agrees with Russia?

I don’t think she can even pronounce transcarpathia.

Nope, she’s pretty dumb, I doubt she knows what those words even mean. Wonder why they’re not tapping her phone like they do to normal citizens who have committed no crimes. They might find out where she’s getting these ideas.
