I'm not relying on the DNC, I'm relying on facts that have been laid out already. You haven't produced a single piece of evidence that the DNC "refused to hand over servers." You've been educated on this point several times now but keep dismissing the evidence from folks in the FBI who would actually know about these things:
"In nine out of 10 cases, we don't need access, we don't ask for access, we don't get access. That's the normal [procedure],” Leo Taddeo, a former special agent in charge of the cyber division of the FBI’s New York office, told The Hill. “It's extraordinarily rare for the FBI to get access to the victim's infrastructure because we could mess it up," he added. "We usually ask for the logs and images, and 99 out of a hundred times, that's sufficient.”
What pray tell, do you think the DNC could have "done" to the server without the FBI knowing? And more importantly,
why? This is the same conspiracy minded nonsense that drove the "deleted emails" hysteria.
And your uranium comment proves you're just relying on the worst "information" on the web. Easily debunked already. Like months ago.

Since this dumb notion is based on no evidence whatsoever, why is this "likely"?
subgenius wrote:Well, that's not true. Many Republicans have left, or are leaving, office because of Trump. And some have lambasted Trump and still gotten his support and gotten re-nominated (see also Alabama news today).
It is absolutely true. From something more encompassing than "Alabama News":

Everything shall pass, but the fact that Trump's own network is criticizing him is significant. It proves this isn't just some Liberal hair-fire issue.

Trump was asked point blank two specific questions:
1. "My first question for you, sir, is who do you believe"?
2. "My second question is would you now with the whole world watching tell President Putin — would you denounce what happened in 2016 and would you warn him to never do it again"?
Trump responded by refusing to answer the questions directly. Instead, he asked four questions and then flattered Putin for giving such a "strong and powerful" testimony of innocence. He also flat out lied by saying Dan Coats "thinks" it is Russia. No, Dan Coats said he knows with absolute certainty it was Russia. He then goes on babbling about HC's emails and a missing server that is
neither missing nor a server.
Roughly 27 hours later after he realizes the country is aghast with what he said by taking the side of Putin over his own intelligence agencies, and so his staff forced him to read a scripted "explanation" that makes sense only if you live on planet naïve.
But he sabotaged his own attempt at damage control by basically rejecting the Intelligence agency's assessment when he went off script to say "It could have been others." No, that's not what the 17 intelligence agencies have said. That's what Trump keep saying which contradicts this.
Photo images of his script shows that he crossed out one remark that warns Russia that there will be consequences for attacking us like this. And of course, this is "consistent" since he refused to answer question #2. He had nothing but praise for the ruthless murdering dictator who stood to his left the entire time and he threw the US intelligence agencies under the bus. That's treasonous and unprecedented for a President of the United States. That's why so many people, Republicans included, are so upset about this. As far as I can tell the only people who aren't are the extreme idiots on talk radio, which should always be expected. But like I said before, even FOX News has a few hosts who are fed up with his stupidity.
