yeah, he told CNN he didn't think it was him, which was silly because he already released communications with guccifer 2.0 that matched exactly with the language in the indictment....
this is a good questionMatthew Miller

In light of today's indictments and the news Trump was briefed earlier this week, thinking more about this story from last night. When did Trump issue this unprecedented order to DOJ to give access to sensitive investigative files to Congress? nytimes.com/2018/07/12/us/…
Like with collusion, so much of the obstruction is happening right out in the open.
I see ResetERA mods don't like it when people call a Russia shill out.
Thank you. I wouldn't have noticed that utter horseshit if you hadn't mentioned it.
Links from a public forum under the same anonymous username are internet detective work/doxxing now? FUCK OFF.
The poster who called out FreedomFighter got banned and the links were deleted.
If a quick Google search turns up daming results, that's hardly sleuthing.It's already public.
And if someone posts here and at Stormfront as CorgisAreAdorbs5789 then clearly they're not hiding it.
On the bans? How is it a bad look?
That's not even in the FAQ. Even if it were it's hardly transparent and frankly I want to know if someone has been owned over and over again for the same stuff. It's a useful filter for bad faith posters.
Is it more or less of a derail than FreedomFighter coming in and posting the same inflammatory stuff and then pretending to just be asking questions?
I'm not defending the ban, just pushing back against the derail. PM the mod team and let them explain it to you.
Amazing at how successful that one poster was at completely derailing the thread. Looking at that post history, it was all according to plan. This is the kind of shit that basically started this all in America in the first place. It's astounding how it's still so successful. They're using the weaknesses of civility and liberalism against us every day and we just eat that shit right up and fall right into their hands.
Pointing out someone's previous post history should never be bannable. If you are voicing an opinion and then claiming the "other side" has the issues...well that's OK. But when it comes out that YOU are the "other side"..well damn, what the hell? I was over there for a LONG time and this behavior is just sickening which is why I left and joined here.
Why are we openly letting a Russian shill "both sides" in a very important Russia/Trump thread?
Seriously.
Exactly. FreedomFighter is the one who should've gotten banned, not Jackpot.
Ban, singular. Of entirely the wrong person.
Damn, the other poster got away unscathed? I thought they both got banned. That's disheartening.
Yeah this is not a matter of talking privately with mods. Many of us here question the 3 day ban of Jackpot, so an answer for all of us would be important.
So if a poster from this forum got caught spewing hate against the LGBT community and other minorities on a public forum, the mods will ban anyone that points it out? That makes me feel real fucking safe and valued as an LGBT member here.
That's what I was thinking, this is extenuating circumstances. There have been a couple of new Russian shill accounts the past few days that I've noticed, and those were basically insta banned. But this is someone that established themselves and somehow slipped through. It's getting kind of insane that they're even targeting this little site of ours.Yeah this is not a matter of talking privately with mods. Many of us here question the 3 day ban of Jackpot, so an answer for all of us would be important.
How do you not see something that's literally in the post you just banned for? I mean I know they saw it because they deleted it.
Besides, reporting is for weasels.
So how about that Roger Stone? Personally, I already thought he was fucked.
Since you've said in other threads that "I don't mod threads that I post in/have personal stakes in" could you get another mod to post this as well since it seems users are still ignoring it?Been out for a while so I'm not entirely caught up on everything but for the sake of the thread -
Let's get the thread back on track, please. If you have questions about moderation in this thread, you can ask me (I'll do my best to find out), or one of the mod captains. Thanks!
Among the hacking conspiracies described by prosecutors, one sticks out for how it attacked Americans regardless of their politics. The Russian military intelligence hackers snooped around online presences for state board of elections and county offices in Florida, Georgia and Iowa.
They ultimately stole personal information like names, addresses, partial social security numbers and drivers' license numbers for about 500,000 voters. The indictment doesn't specify which state suffered that data breach.

Feel like that's getting lost amongst the bigger news. This was an attack on America, not just Dems and Hillary. Go chat up your pal though Donald.

Again, I very much doubt there are Russian bots here.The forum getting screwed by russian bots is a sadly accurate description of current day America
I don't mean for it to concern you, and I think I've only quoted it once in a PoliEra thread to a user not specifying who actually said it. I was just pointing out that you're the most recent active mod in this thread, and that you've made clear your moderating practices regarding threads you've posted in, so it might help to get a different mod to post about it since people were ignoring you after you posted the red text. That's all. We can take this to PMs as to not keep it off track if you want. Sorry!You've quoted me about that multiple times, that concerns me immensely
