Check out Trumps EO from 2018 that covers this election.

Executive Order on Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election

Quote:By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,

I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that the ability of persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States to interfere in or undermine public confidence in United States elections, including through the unauthorized accessing of election and campaign infrastructure or the covert distribution of propaganda and disinformation, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. Although there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcome or vote tabulation in any United States election, foreign powers have historically sought to exploit America’s free and open political system. In recent years, the proliferation of digital devices and internet-based communications has created significant vulnerabilities and magnified the scope and intensity of the threat of foreign interference, as illustrated in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with this threat.

smoking gun much? Yup! Mebbe they can also help find Hilliary's 30,000 "missing" emails about her shopping lists....stay tuned!

Everyone skipping over the part that the Germany server thing was made up?

I just don't understand if they have a smoking gun like this why they're wasting money/time w/ other lawsuits that probably won't go anywhere

Pretty sure Enron said the fraud claims were groundless for as long as they could. To be clear, Im incredibly skeptical of this raid crap---I dont think its true. But, as far as proof goes, a denial by a company accused of fraud doesnt really mean a whole lot either.

Denial by the company, denial by the army to AP.

There is a lot wrong with this story, the first piece why would the US army be involved in seizing this server? They aren’t generally involved in matters of international law enforcement unless service members are involved. Why would the army be involved in this? DOJ would work with EU authorities to get a server seized if they needed it done.

The source of the rumor says it came from a German tweet and he doesn’t know if it is true. People are running with wild accusations like they are fact.

It doesn't matter what the truth is. The MSM machine will just say it's not true, haf the country will believe them and nothing will ever happen.

Crime does pay.

The army denies things they actually did all the time.

Again---Im not buying this narrative AT ALL--but if I did believe it---Im not sure the things you've pointed to would change my mind. I mean, I posted in another thread where the AP also reported that "several thousand" Trump supporters gathered in Washington DC Saturday. Any person can easily verify that is a complete misrepresentation of the massive crowd. So it appears AP is perfectly willing to tell a lie about something most anyone can easily debunk by looking at hundreds of photos of the massive crowd size on Twitter. AP isnt what it used to be. If they would lie about something so easily disproven, they would certainly lie when it cant be disproven.

Again--I dont buy this raid story and my reaction to this is it sounds like the plot to a Clancy novel. lol, of course---its worth noting that Clancy novels have come true in the past (for instance, in Clancy's "Debt of Honor", written in 1994--7 years prior to 911---a jumbo jet is flown into the Capital dome as a weapon of mass destruction).

I agree. Nothing that has come out gives me any less reason to believe this.

Now common sense makes me question it. But not any of the denials.
