And yet the whole time they denied it. They denied that Russia was behind the hack. They said Putin supported Hillary, knowing damn well that Trump was the Useful Idiot Putin desired.

“The collusion narrative became so entrenched in the minds of some commentators that even when the Mueller report was made public, with its repeated statements that “the investigation did not establish that the [Trump] campaign coordinated or conspired with the Russian government in its election-interference activities,” some simply would not accept the verdict.”

That “some” apparently includes Manju.
If Mueller had thought that the things Manju listed meant Trump had conspired with the Russians, wouldn’t he have said so?

We will have to wait for the crickets to tell us all that Manju “knows.” They may confirm all that Yammer “knows” too.

Oh please manju, you haven’t read 400 plus pages of the Mueller report…BTW, I read 200 plus pages of the report, and stopped when it became obvious it was a snow job.

Well Parker, if you think it’s a “snow job” then it sounds like you read the same report I did.

You read the one that shows the Trump campaign knew more about Russian interference than anyone else. You read the one that shows they knew about it before almost anyone. You read the one that says they welcomed the help, particularly in regards to Wikileaks…a Taliban supporting organization that Trump says he loves.

And yet the whole time they denied it. They denied that Russia was behind the hack. They said Putin supported Hillary, knowing damn well that Trump was the Useful Idiot Putin desired.

I’m taking issue with the idea that Mueller was forced to admit that Trump and his aides had nothing to do with he Russian effort.

You appear to know that this is not true. Presumably this forms the basis of your “snow job” accusation.

I don’t agree but I’m not here to dissuade you of that notion. On the more fundamental issue of what the report says, I’m just glad we found common ground.

We need to appoint a Special Counsel NOW to see if Trump Dem nominee for President was working with Iran. Under the new rules, Trump Dem nominee for President must PROVE he didn’t do anything to be declared innocent.

Most of the stuff he quotes or links from, I already know about now. It’s not that important if you know where to go for sources.

That’s… even lower a standard than I had for humanity. Hah. I knew why the prices were like that, but it shouldn’t have worked like that.

Also why people shut down when I start talking about Newton’s Three body problem in calculus. Flies right over em.

I find that Art dumps a LOT of information that is not in the general blogosphere, but it is frustrating that he doesn’t include links for attribution or search clues for research.

Basic commercial psychology, which I learned from my father while working at his Five & Dime in the sixties: people only look at the first digit. That’s why all your store prices are 9.95, 19.99, and so forth. Yes, people really are that stupid.

Which is basically reiterating that countries interfere in each others elections all the time, and we will never fully know the extent and affect.
