    Don't worry about that. Worry about how this post will help me show the world yet another instance in which you respond to a post you didn't understand.

    I wonder if Trump and Obama could share a cell. It would save a lot of secret service protection.

    They didn't. They lied cheated and corrupted everything they touched and in the end proved only that they lied, cheated, and corrupted.

    I agree. All these people are above the law.

    Anyone who has any knowledge of our political history knows how specious is your characterization. Lack of rebuttal noted again.

    The best way to be above the law is to not commit any crimes. The only one in the list who has been accused (and proven) of committing a crime but has yet to be tested to see if he is above the law or not is Trump.

    Oops! I keep forgetting that, to a Trump supporter, bringing up facts in a discussion is considered "rude".

    COLLINS:
    Is that any (ph) true your investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with Russian government in election interference activity, Volume 1, page 2; Volume 1, page 173?

    MUELLER:

    Thank you. Yes.

    FACTS....they can be rude to the libs false narratives.

    I think the OP fails to understand the reasons for the Durham investigation initiated by Billy the Bagman.

    It serves two primary purposes. 1. To serve up some red meat for Trump fans to chew on as the election draws near in order to distract from Don's epic failure in responding to COVID-19. Especially since Biden can be smeared along with other members inside and out of the admin. 2. To satisfy Don's insatiable desire to discredit the Mueller investigation since it uncovered evidence of collusion (for lack of a better word) and obstruction of justice.

    Potential prosecutions is the way to keep Trump fans ginned up in anticipation of "we've got them now" show trials. But as with Comey, Clinton, McCabe, Strzok, etc., there is no meat on the "Obamagate" bone being thrown to the minions.

    I think it is you who fails to do so. It appears citizens had their basic civil rights violated and officials at the highest levels abused power that is given to them in those positions.

    And? While a President can't be prosecuted while in office he certainly can be when he leaves office.

    I didn't say "conspire or coordinated" And certainly not in the very specific legal sense in which those terms are described on the report. But they most definitely colluded. Not only in the sense of welcoming their help. But also of covering up the crime.

    The second reference is on page 5. Not 173. Maybe Susan Collins just happened to quote the wrong page. But the most cynical seem to believe that maybe she was hoping that nobody noticed what followed the quote.

    Mueller (page 5): The Russian contacts consisted of business connections, offers of assistance to the Campaign, invitations for candidate Trump and Putin to meet in person, invitations for Campaign officials and representatives of the Russian government to meet, and policy positions seeking improved U.S.-Russian relations. Section IV of this Report details the contacts between Russia and the Trump Campaign during the campaign and transition periods, the most salient of which are summarized below in chronological order. "[And then goes on to give some specific instances of the collusion I pointed out]​

    Sorry you didn't understand the reference. But that's what you get if you only listen to the wingnut echo-chamber 24/7
