Hmm. You are looking for an actual line from the report that states, “Trump should have reported his son’s meeting with the Russians at Trump Tower to the FBI”. Do I have that right?
And if that line cannot be found within the report, then you assert that the meeting represented nothing worth reporting to the FBI? Or that this acceptance of the Russian overture is expected and permissible behavior (if not encouraged, anyway) for Presidential candidates to directly engage in?
You should be clear about what the point is, or what you believe this lack of the specific line you want to see means to you. If you believe as I’m asking above, then I’d like to hear more about why you believe that there’s nothing out of the ordinary with this meeting or the failure to report it to the US intelligence community.
So, show me in the report were Trump alone is guilty of knowing of tampering with the election, and that the FBI. Obama folks, or anyone else, including the press, do not know about it.
And here, am I correct in interpreting that you believe that Obama may have known about the Trump Tower meeting, and that this being the case (in your opinion) that this signals that there was nothing odd with the meeting, or that it was not cause for concern?
I am not being dick, I am asking you to support your assertion...and if it has merit, I will respond. I am not in any way married to Trump as folks seem to accuse me of.
You might also respect his response to this by following up with your own assertions that depend upon his response. Otherwise, it pretty much just looks like you are dodging a plain discussion on this verified event while attempting to distract with your own unproven assertions about Obama and others supposedly knowing about that event. I can’t imagine why you’d do that, right? ; )
