No Russian Collusion

But the Dems are still hell bent on finding something.

I want to know what Nancy Peloci evidence she had seen at the beginning of this witch hunt.

I distinctly remember her, voice quivering with pent up emotion saying she had see cold, hard evidence of collusion. She was close to tears.

Perhaps as they couldn’t find any in the $30m investigation she should just grab it out of her bag and give that to congress. I’m sure she must have kept a copy. Especially as it was such damning evidence.

Nobody is interested.

People actually wanted the president of the US to be in bed with the Russians.

Next thread.

Blimey one answer and that a brush off from Talbo

and the crazy thread on the same subject has multiple posts

A lot of people are saying well he would wouldnt he? I had noticed that the attorney general was a trump appointee so that it was inevitable that people would say he was biassed
- especially as one of the q the pres asks the lucky applicant is: 'are you my man?'

Not all the text can be released as the spooks have gathered it and it is secret
and yes we all know that that reason is used to cover up embarrassing slips and cover ups

Dear oh dear.

The Russian conspiracy theory was invented on the night of Hillary ("Hey, Russki, do you a good deal on uranium") Clinton's defeat. As part of the strategy to subvert
the "wrong" result. If you see what I mean .

Followed up by the suborning of the Green candidate to contest the results in three states (Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona?). Two contested with a Trump victory confirmed. One not, leaving someone (guess who?) richer by the unused mount donated by Clinton for the legal challenge.

Followed up by "rational" appeal to the newly members of the Electoral College to flip their party allegiances to reject the President Elect.

Followed up by the campaign of abuse, mockery and innuendo by the elites and media there, and the "elites" (laugh your head off) like the BBC here.

'and the crazy thread on the same subject has multiple posts'

Crazy? Seeing as your anti-Trump mates have been so looking forward to it, it had very few.

'A lot of people are saying well he would wouldnt he? I had noticed that the attorney general was a trump appointee'

Well spotted, pp. However, seeing as every Attorney General has been appointed by the President since, er what's his name, oh yeah, George Washington, it's not really that surprising, is it.

'so that it was inevitable that people would say he was biassed'

Not that inevitable, seeing he had nothing to do with the investigation and very little to do with the report.
PS. Unless you're claiming the Attorney General has 2 bottoms there's only one S in biased.

The Bems were Mueller will fin, Mueller will fin and now he hasn’t they are back peddling and decrying Mueller and change the goal posts.

They want to change the voting age, they want to get rid of the electoral college vote and something else that I can’t remember just to stop someone else getting in.

Not much from the resident AB liberals.

Still crying into their muesli I suppose.

The whole thing was clearly a made up witch hunt by whining liberal elite looser's. Hang on that sounds familiar!

Everyone attached to this false 'Russian connection' accusation should now hunted down and put on trial.

/// Trump Jr. slammed the investigation, which entangled him, his siblings and the Trump Organization, in a statement.

'After more than 2 years of non-stop conspiracy theories from CNN, MSNBC, Buzzfeed and the rest of the mainstream media, as well as daily lies and smears coming from Democrats in Washington, the Mueller Report proves what those of us with sane minds have known all along, there was ZERO collusion with Russia,' he said. ///

When Donald Trump bawled “Russia if you’re listening ...” he didn’t do himself any favours. Although it would take a supreme amount of dumbness to do that if you were thinking of actually doing something about it.
There was certainly a lot of smoke and an approach was definitely made. Russia’s influence wasn’t just centred on the Trump campaign but on Bernie Sanders also and it isn’t hard to see why.
The democrats would be well advised to concentrate on politics and let the other investigations proceed quietly. As for Robert Mueller he is a good man and at least (presumably) Trump is not going to roll him up in conspiracy theories now.

[youngmafbog]

Spin it how you like Ich. Bottom line is it was a liberal elite witch hunt.

Still waiting on the impeachment you all promised was imminent.

[ichkeria]

Like I say, given all the stuff that happened around this, and given several individuals have already been indicted for conspiracy and collusion, it was hardly a “witch hunt”. I agree that there is a lot of nonsensical frenzy around this issue which as i say I hope will now die down, but at the heart of it was a serious and sober investigation by an impeccable individual.

It would not have surprised me if hard evidence had been turned up about the Trumps, nor does it surprise me that it hasn’t. There is a pretty cogent view that says Trump couldn’t collude with his own shadow :-)

[anotheoldgit]

This ruling will most likely secure President Trump's chance of winning a second period of Premiership.

Drat! :o)

[Spicerack]

There's collusion between AB's Anti-Trumpers & Anti-Brexiteers...they're the same people.
They haven't quite got the hang of this Democracy thing, have they? For some strange reason, known only to themselves, they fancy they're a tad above it.
Luckily, they've previously been proved wrong about everything they've ever posted...about anything.

[Atheist]

Goodness, there's a lot of foaming at the mouth going on! A lot of anger out there.

And the winner of the 2018 Pultzer Prize For Journalism is....

///National Reporting

Staffs of The New York Times and The Washington Post

For deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration. (The New York Times entry, submitted in this category, was moved into contention by the Board and then jointly awarded the Prize.)///

Oh, my aching sides.

Watching CNN on the Mueller report.

Former "federal prosecutor" Mark Kokanovich says that the evidence for both collusion and obstruction of justice are "proved" by the president's tweets. To which the slime-ball adds the tendentious question "...and why would the report find it necessary to add the rider 'but not exonerate'?".

CNN is even more partisan than the BBC.

I was brought up to be honest. A standard I've tried to live by, but sometimes (often?) fallen short of. That's a shame on me.

It appears that others have been taught to practise deceit. Have shown greater zeal and consistency in pursuit of their "standard" than I in mine. And have no sense of shame at all.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Dare say one of AB's many Pharisees will straighten me out on this VE confusion.

[Kromovaracun]

I'm relieved, actually. I do trust the Mueller team and it seems that this was properly investigated. Had he found evidence of collusion the consequences would have been pretty dire. I' somewhat relieved we'll all be spared that horror show.

Also glad that this unearthed criminal behaviour on the likes of Roger Stone, who has practically been walking around with an 'I am a crook' sign above his head for decades.

v_e, //I was brought up to be honest...It appears that others have been taught to practise deceit. Have shown greater zeal and consistency in pursuit of their "standard" than I in mine. And have no sense of shame at all.//

Indeed.
