1. Is he trying to justify extortion?

Crooks. I hate em.

[Bettie]

2. Frankly, given the choice between Clinton and Trump

every thinking person on the planet was for Clinton.

Yes, there are idiots everywhere, but FFS...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. Considering at least two things:

1. Donald Trump's campaign manager was a man who was paid $12 million out of the billions that the hated, corrupt ex-president Yanukovych raided from the public treasury

and

2. Donald Trump had openly praised the man who had invaded Ukraine's borders and seized its territory, even at one point begging to be his "new best friend"


Is it any mystery why many Ukrainians would have preferred someone other than Donald Trump become the US President?

And since when does preferring one candidate over another constitute "interference"?

4. If the meddling was for Clinton and there was so much of it why didn't she win???

Of course, if Trump won over all that he was the hero?

5. Because LTTE and Opinion pieces in newspapers are the same as direct meddling in our elections.

Can you blame Ukrainians to have a negative opinion of Trump, given what they knew about Trump's relationship with Putin?

[KPN]

6. Just a bunch more of the both-siderism they

consistently push out there for the media to repeat — not to defend but to justify their actions. And most of the frigging media gives lip service to their phony baloney talking points — either ineptly or under the guise of fairness in reporting.

9. Yes...

they did it during the 2016 campaign and continue to perpetuate these lies everyday.

7. When Burr is asked for evidence of his claim . . .

Burr dissembles, pouts, and demands to know if the interviewer has done an investigation. In other words, no, Burr doesn't have any evidence, he's just popping off to please an audience of one.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. Even if true, so?

What did they *do* about it? We all know, however, who Russia wanted/didn't want and what they DID about it.

[RockRaven]

10. Even if true, "DUH!" -- Trump is a Russian stooge and Russia is Ukraine's enemy. Enemy as in

physical invasion, occupation of sovereign territory, shooting war, thousands killed. In that moment, that kind of enemy.

Why the FUCK would any Ukrainian who wants a sovereign and independent Ukraine support a Russian stooge to lead the one country most capable of assisting their national defense with funds and equipment?
