How Or Why Did Trump Win In Nov 2016? If.....

the FBI was on to the Russian interference; had an informant in the Trump Campaign and knew some of Trump's people were working with the Russians (i.e., Carter Page, Manafort & Popodoupolis)?

Why didn't the FBI do something to expose this before the election and discredit Trump and his minions?

McConnell promised him if he said a word he would play politics with it.

GOP simply arent patriots.

FBI under Comey saw fit to not say a WORD about the KGB helping Trump but insisted on talking about NOTHING as in emails.

the truth is....the vast majority of law enforcement endorses his behavior. Reminds them of how they feel free to do whatever during arrests. Especially those night time ones wayyyy out in the boonies when noones looking.

brutalizing suspects in their custody. I still can't understand why that didn't get more play.

and such an exposure would have led to a rout of the Senate, House, and state races. The last thing the Republican establishment in the career FBI and Justice department was for Democrats to gain control to that level.

There is a deep state. It is just not in the direction that Trumpists envision.

Because there was no way our citizens would EVER vote a racist jackass into office. That's why.

She won by 3,000,000 votes so they were mostly right. No one will ever be able to convince me that Dem votes weren't flipped or discarded by Russian hacks and Republican vote talliers.

Not wanting to be the one to question support for the DOJ in these dangerous times, but WTF???

Misogyny is a terrible blight, and I totally think the FBI is saturated in it. Just sayin...
