And the non-seized, not-in-Germany election servers did not belong to the CIA but to Scytl, a Spanish company, who has no offices in Germany. Geez, do you fact check anything you read?
Is it though? Where exactly and how? Can you show me something in the Constitution to this effect? The military obeys only legal orders and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has already said that there is no role for the US military in determining the outcome of an election.

I will not go down the rabbit hole of whether Trump acts in the country's interest or in his own. If you really believe the former at this point there's nothing I can say to change your mind. However, I will ask you this: Trump has been publicly predicting and "agonizing" over voter fraud for the last 4 years. What has he done about it? Can you name a single policy, initiative, or bill that the administration has put forth to combat voter fraud? If you can't - and you can't because he hasn't - as yourself how that complete lack of action accords with how you portray him in your paragraph above. If election fraud was such a dire threat to our democracy, and Trump knew about it - WHY HASN'T HE DONE ANYTHING TO PREVENT IT? |
Yes. Of everything I've used to support my arguments, this particular case was by far the weakest of all. Yes, you nailed me on it. I actually regretted posting it almost immediately. I almost brought it up on a "real" political site I used but DID fact check it first and after seeing the consensus from all sides, I chose not to post.
However, this article below may best describe what is going on with this story. It's not the latest, but what I think may be the best analysis of the whole thing. It appears there may be some real news and some added nonsense - like virtually all news stories - but some sources ran with all of it, putting a lot of egg on a lot of people's faces, including mine.
Why there likely was a server seized. Why there was probably no firefight. How that server is now being used as a high level bargaining chip, and why it will probably never be made public.
And, of course, you can google the whole "Scytle/Germany" thing at any time. However, be warned, Google is just going to throw up the "it never happened stories" right up front. To get to articles like the one I posted you need to try Dogpile, Duckduckgo or Bing.
Google is becoming much like Wikipedia - very useful for non-controversial stuff, but pretty useless otherwise.
