Nothing like the purity of argument from abject ignorance.
Trump is not an actual paid agent of the Kremlin.
It isn’t really a defense to the charge that your are not distinguishing yourself in this thread by throwing out examples of others who embarrassed themselves through their actions.
If anything, it implies that you think of yourself as being in good company with these other ignominious organizations.
So, you may want to reconsider your retorts if you have no interest in improving your arguments.
The official report does not keep getting delayed. This is a Trump lie.
Why do you believe Trump’s lies?
Trumpster Tweet:
“In Putin’s Russia, intelligence agencies are a big fan of Trump!”
(post shortened)
If there are “a lot of facts publicly available”, I wonder why there is a need for another (soon to be released) report?
I enjoy investigations. Currently, I just want to see the final report. Before I decide who is responsible, and what they are responsible for. YMMV.
“In the meantime, I’m going to believe every word that Donald Trump says, because he’s so honest and trustworthy.”
From your cited article:
Trump on Tuesday did receive a classified intelligence briefing – the Presidential Daily Briefing – which Trump has elected to receive only sporadically. But it did not dive deeply into the Russian hacking.
It appears that Trump did have a meeting on this issue last Tuesday.
No, he had the usual, expected classified intelligence briefing. The specific briefing with details about Russian hacking was never scheduled for Tuesday, and was never delayed. Trump’s tweet was simply a lie.
Trump said, “You’ll find out Tuesday or Wednesday.” Today is Thursday. Any part of that you don’t understand? We’re here to help.
You’re saying that Trump had a briefing on Tuesday, and there is a more specific briefing scheduled for later.
He told you that he had special knowledge that others did not have. That he would reveal this special knowledge “Tuesday or Wednesday”. Its Thursday, and he didn’t. He didn’t even have the decency to make an excuse, he just ignored it.
He lied. Get it?
He didn’t tell me anything. I don’t have a twitter account. However, we’ve got time before the “official” report is released on Monday. Or next Tuesday or Wednesday, if it’s delayed.
I think that’s because he’s under audit or something. Maybe when the audit is over.
Wait, wasn’t his special knowledge that Julian Assange is a stand-up guy and would never stoop to saying nice things about Russians?
Or maybe Twersday or Frimonday. Definitely not later than Sunsatday.
Why do you keep trying to insinuate that it’s been delayed or will be delayed? It’s never been delayed. Not once. In fact, it’s only supposed to be done before Jan 20 so it’s actually two weeks early.
Obama has gotten the classified report today. Trump gets briefed on it tomorrow, Congress will be briefed on it Monday (though I’m not clear on whether Congress gets the report on Monday or before) and the unclassified report comes out after they brief Congress.
This.
And Trump lied about the timing, when he claimed the briefing was “delayed”. It was never delayed.

U.S. intercepts capture senior Russian officials celebrating Trump win
Briefly put, the Russian effort’s in cyber-adventurism were intended to influence the election in Trump’s favor. (Duh.) This opinion already existed but is underscored by evidence of Russian muky-mucks celebrating their success.
Of interest, tidbits suggest that they didn’t think it was going to work, they were as surprised as everybody else. Which is interesting in a Tom Clancy meets Mel Brooks sort of way.
This feels big.
