    Protip: interference does not equal collusion.

    No evidence of collusion, as noted in today's report.

    I'm glad Trump said today that he will raise Russia's interference with Putin - Russia shouldn't be doing that. But that is different than collusion with Trump's campaign. Very important.

    Protip. Today's report wasn't about whether or not the Trump campaign colluded or not, there's a separate investigation for that.

    How many (and how high up) people associated with Trump's campaign and his White House would need to be shown as colluding with Russia for you to feel that Trump is unfit for office? (not saying impeach, just saying turning you away as a supporter)

    It is extremely disturbing to me that there are people in various degrees of orbit of our President whom are either compromised or actively working against the interests of our country for their own benefit.

    Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Thursday criticized Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform and House Judiciary committees, saying she "wouldn't want to be a Republican on that committee"

    So because the Trump campaign officials and GOP Congressman running aren’t named in the indictment that means they don’t exist?

    Why can’t the indictment just be what it is on its face? Why does it have to be vindication on your part and in part of your dear king you work for like a good foot soldier who doesn’t ask questions?

    The indictment isn’t meant to be a political weapon and that’s the entire point Rosenstein was trying like hell to clearly explain to folks like yourself who aren’t thinking about the country first. We were attacked and the evidence is smack dab in the face.

    It happened. You can not deny it. The Trumpers will either be named or not named in the final indictments where these unnamed co conspirators are either charged or not. There’s nothing you can spin that will change fact unless you really think people here are dumb enough to believe alternative facts in an alternative reality.

    The circumstantial evidence, the guilty pleas, the transparent obstruction and cover up.... they make Trump and co LOOK guilty as hell, and frankly the cover up and obstruction alone are un-patriotic and at the very least should have consensus condemnation among Americans (unless you aren’t American which would make the most sense). However it doesn’t mean they are guilty. It would just be the most baffling case of a group of people doing everything they can to cover something up and look guilty in their actions. But you have my word I’ll respect the outcome of the final indictments as they are proven to be meticulous and professionally followed through on.

    Will you make the same commitment? Will you accept the facts when they come out? Or will you just continue to make up your own reality and live in a world where you can “pwn the libs!”?

    If the Lisa Page and Pete Strojk conspiracy theory really are the “bigger than watergate” conspiracies they have been billed to be, why in the world would the house GOP change their mind at the last minute about bringing Page in for a public hearing? Why would you just interview Strojk and not Page? Makes zero sense.

    ...

    So seems to me like the GOP prop machine is likely going to shut up about this conspiracy and just move onto something else... like holding Rosenstein in contempt and trying to fire him on behalf of their King.

    I don't know the number... but I'm not a big Trump supporter to begin with. When I was driving to the polls to cast my vote my intention was to write in General Mattis for president. I had friends serve directly under him and he is an amazing leader and an unbelievable tactician. I was pretty much done with Trump after the audio of him talking about grabbing women came out. When I got to my voting location the line was out the door and wasn't moving. Then every once and awhile we would move up one spot. It wasn't moving because people were voting and leaving. The line was moving because all the machines were not working and people were leaving since it was during their lunch break. Finally, they got ONE machine working. By the time it was my turn I was angry. Mostly because some people were leaving and saying f this... I'm not even bothering to come back. I felt like it was just another example of our government sucking and failing. So I voted for the swamp drainer. I have mentioned before on these forums that I tend to vote for gridlock at this point. I felt Trump would be less effective at making crazy changes than Clinton.

    I fall in the middle on political issues. I am more right on some issues and more left on others. I support the 2nd Amendment and am fiscally conservative. However, on other social issues I tend to lean more left.

    Putin shouldn’t commit acts of war. He really shouldn’t. Bad Putin, bad.

    I don’t think anyone know anymore. We blasted through so many ‘no way that’s acceptable’ walls already.

    I'd like to hear more about this, preferably in layman's terms.

    Stop right there. This is where you just admitted that you're wrong. You probably aren't smart enough to realize it, though. You have resorted to a "logic leap" based on evidence that you think fits the narrative you want to believe. But sorry, it doesn't support a collusion narrative. It's not sufficient.

    Read "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman to educate yourself on how to draw conclusions. You aren't doing a good job on that, today.

    I remember the Democrats asking (including in debates) if Trump would accept the results of the election or claim they were rigged in some way. It would be funny if these people weren't actually going insane.
