    Yep, they really did a job on you.

    From the report.

    “did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in these efforts, despite multiple efforts from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign.”

    Do you consider Gates giving internal polling data to agents of Russian government collusion?

    You falsified the conclusion of the Muller report in another post, doubled down on the lie, and then ran away when I quoted the entirety of the passage you were claiming to quote...and entirety that did not contain one word of your made up quote, and, indeed, drew the opposite conclusion.

    The only person to sharing polling data was manafort to a former Ukrainian employee of his and it happened well before the home stretch because manafort worked for the campaign well before the home stretch.

    No I did not. I’ve quoted the conclusions repeatedly from the report

    No you did not. You made something up and claimed it was in the conclusion of Section II of the report.

    I quoted the entirety of the Conclusion back to you, which did not contain the quote you made up.

    That’s completely false. I quoted the section. It clearly states mueller did not conclude the president committed a crime

    Donnie J was not charged due to ignorance of the law.

    "The Office considered whether to charge Trump Campaign officials with crimes in connection with the June 9 meeting described in Volume I, Section IV.A.5, supra. The Office concluded that, in light of the government's substantial burden of proof on issues of intent ("knowing" and "willful"), and the difficulty of establishing the value of the offered information, criminal charges would not meet the Justice Manual standard that "the admissible evidence will probably be sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction." Justice Manual§ 9-27.220."

    My favorite part is watching malcontent lefties spin in their chairs trying to revive their sagging ratings.

    There's that. And there's the related part where Trump said the Mueller report states "no collusion" and George says "no, it didn't say that." And trump comes back with "yes it does. You should read it."

    Nobody should know more about embarrassment than you- but then, some people are unable to assess their own behavior enough to know when they should be embarrassed.

    It's laughable to think Don, with the attention span of an 8 year old and being intellectually lazy as hell, would have read the report.

    Your attempt at denial hangs entirely on the careful parsing of that statement.

    The phrase “Russian government” is key.

    Most of the cut out, oligarch, and other people involved on the Russian side were not officially affiliated with the Russian government, even though all of them had close and well established ties with that government.

    Similarly, Roger Stone was not affiliated in any official capacity with the Trump campaign.

    Thus, it is entirely within the definition of that parsed conclusion that Roger Stone could have conspired to collude with the Russian hacker “Guccifer 2.0” and with Julian Asange, neither of whom are officials of the Russian government. Guccifer 2.0 was recognized to be a Russian asset, even of not in an official capacity. Asange is a rabidly anti American activist who says he’s for transparency, but never attacks dictators.

    It should be noted that not all Republicans abandon principle and revert to weasel mode whenever Trumpery demands.

    So you are claiming Mueller was wrong. Fascinating.

    Doesn't that say they did not find sufficient evidence after investigating for over two years?

    Who has been yelling the loudest to have the Mueller go public in nationally televised hearings. Answer: Democrats. Who among Congress has actually read the Mueller Report: Answer Democrats. Who has publicly stated they haven't read the Report and don't intend to? Republicans. Who consistently misrepresents the Mueller Report and fights its broader public exposure? Republicans.

    This is so painfully obvious that to deny it convinces me you are just a Trump troll.
