    This isn't about guys on the right, this is about the left's continued insistence without evidence there was collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. This is about the person tauted as our top investigative reporter trying hard to find it in all his investigation and coming up empty handed as it seems everyone looking in to the matter.

    If that's good enough for you, don't worry about it anymore then.

    It was the ONLY specific matter in the letter which created his office, without that there would be no Mueller investigation.

    I don't know what Mueller has found ...and neither do you.

    I was talking about Woodward not Mueller. We know what he found, nothing, not a shred.

    This is about what it doesn't say but he tried his best TO say but could find nothing to support it even his typical unnamed unverified sources.
    What dose that say about any possible colliding between the Trump campaign and Russia? Does it bouy the claim or help to sink it?

    You're strange. I'm not even debating with you, why would there be a white flag?

    It's also about the credibility of Woodward. He makes a very compelling claim that trump is unfit to serve.

    If his claim here is that there is no collusion because he didnt find it, and you find that credible, then surely you see his claims that trump is unfit thanks to his reporting are also credible.

    It is. The criminal activities, convictions, and confessions he elicits in the process are tangential to his vital mission assigned by the Trump Justice Department: "... to serve as Special Counsel to oversee the previously-confirmed FBI investigation of Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election and related matters."

    Which technically is what the FBI and then Mueller has done to Clinton's opposition campaign managers and assorted players. Yes, I can see the similarities. Can you imagine the outrage say, if the Trump administration, FBI, and CIA did this to Sanders if he ran in 2020?

    Without Putin's attacks to help Trump and pervert the American democratic process - as confirmed by the FBI, NSA, CIA, and Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee - there would have been no need for a Special Counsel to be appointed by the Trump Justice Department to investigate "Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election and related matters."

    Woodward is not a credible source. Alas.

    But it is an admission against bias.

    And yet, nothing of the sort has been charged other than some memes on Facebook that nobody saw.

    I’m surprised that woodward admitted failure

    Ordinarily he would just say a little birdy told him that trump was guilty

    Last I heard, the Trump Justice Department Special Counsel has not completed his assigned mission and issued his report.

    The was no need for a special counsel to investigate Russian attempts to plant phony Facebook ads or phony rallies both for and against Clinton and Trump.
    THE only specific issue in Muellers authorization was COLLUSON between Russia and the Trump campaign. Not a shred of evidence produced and even Woodward had to admit despite his efforts to find it he could not. Does that bouy the claims or sink them even further?

    No, not what I said. You are using him as the bastion of truth now to support your claim. So if thats what he said, and he’s now “gospel” for you and yours, then the rest of what he said in the book must be true also then right ?

    If the FBI, NSA, CIA and Senate Intelligence Committee truly all concluded that "Putin's attacks" helped Trump pervert the American democratic process then what was the point of Robert "The Inquisitor" Mueller's investigation?

    Did you stop to think about that? It doesn't seem like it.
    In any event it looks like the pronouncements and declarations of those august and majestic bands of wizards and wise men that make up all those bodies you cited were not so wise after all (as Mueller's investigation has uncovered nothing).

    Maybe they should all go back and consult with their Magic Eight Ball sources again.

    I'm using him to say he tried as hard as he could to find evidence of collusion and he could not. Are you claiming he is lying? Should I believe he did and sat on what would be his biggest story since Watergate?

    Been whiffing at air for 18 months and still zip, nada, zero, nothing. That's a whole lot of fail with a few clown show diversions into unrelated matters complete with fabricated charges.

    If you want to debate the issue then debate it, don't whine about and tell posters to go away. The MODS don't like that.
