    Sorry, but a Glenn Beck chart, with lots of lines, doesn't prove anything.

    Collusion, as originally charged, meant that the Trump campaign coordinated with Russian operatives to target certain voters with ads, to coordinate the timing of the release of the Podesta emails, the coordination of messaging, etc.

    None of that ha been shown to happen.

    So, unless you've defined collusion down, no I don't believe it happened.

    And, any contact that did happen, appears not to be criminal, as Mueller has charged no one associated with the Trump campaign with any kind of collusion. Even Manafort, who should be the key guy, isn't going to have any collusion type activities brought up against him at trial.

    Bring some evidence. Like, real evidence, not squiggly lines on a chart.

    Oh yeah. Totally.


    But Hillary Clinton is for sure corrupt and probably to blame for Benghazi.

    It is totally absurd to even think that Donald J. Trump---who savages allies, people in his own cabinet and in his own party but always praises Putin and takes Putin-approved stands on a range of foreign policy issues---would ever be in league with Mother Russia.

    @YankeeFan must not have read the story Garrow linked. Top to bottom.

    Like many of the suspicious facts surrounding Trump’s relations with Russia, it was possible to construct a semi-innocent defense. "Maybe he just likes to brag about what he knows. Maybe he’s just too doddering to remember what’s a secret." And as often happens, these unwieldy explanations gained general acceptance. It seemed just too crazy to consider the alternative: It was all exactly what it appeared to be.

    Yeah. Startling evidence.

    Try harder.

    You are blinded by your partisan lust.

    Joe Biden isn't the president of the United States, unfortunately.

    I think the issue which still needs to be focused on is why Trump suddenly started buying properties for cash when interest rates were negligible and it goes against everything against his prior practices (and that of his industry).

    The original sin is the refusal to release tax records.

    And he should be, right NOW, had the FBI done its investigation in 2015 instead of getting slow-walked by lawyers deep into 2016.
