Senate: No direct proof of conspiracy between Trump campaign, Russia

WASHINGTON — After two years and 200 interviews, the Senate Intelligence Committee is approaching the end of its investigationinto the 2016 election, having uncovered no direct evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to both Democrats and Republicans on the committee.
I hope everyone reads the actual article because I don’t think you’ve summarized it accurately.

Of course Benghazi actually happened though did it not. Trump Russian collusion however seems to lack one thing. One piece of direct evidence that it occurred at all. People died in Benghazi., I think trying to find out why is probably more important than trying to come up with some excuse to explain why the country rejected a terrible candidate in favor of one not quite as distasteful.
Go tell the nine House investigations that found nothing on Clinton.

I think you are refusing to accept what did not happen as to coming up with some alternate scenario in which you want did happen.

The President is always careful to deny "collusion" specifically, and not any other wrongdoing. His fan club are at great pains to represent the Mueller investigation as all about proving Trump's "collusion" and nothing else. Now the Senate Intelligence Committee has validated the obvious conclusion: that collusion has always been a red herring.

Yes Benghazi actually happened, as did the Russian meddling in our election. Which is why we are investigating the Russians meddling in our election. That Republicans keep trying to shift the focus to Trump seems odd to me.

Have you been sleeping the last two years? Take five second to google news articles from 2016 to 2018. 'Collusion' was the MSM meme during the entire period. It it the MEDIA'S shifting the focus, not Trump.

Donald Trump's answer on Russian collusion is a real doozy - CNNPolitics

Judge bars mention of Mueller's collusion probe from ex-Trump campaign chief Manafort's second trial

Russia collusion inquiry faces a big 2018 – but will Trump let Mueller finish the job?

Nope, Steve, it is Trump shifting the focus, not the media.

Yes, Benghazi happened, but not the way the GOP wanted in Congress. Imagine playing politics with the heroes' deaths like the GOP has done.

Right. Trump certainly has not constantly and vocally spoken against a witch hunt that apparently targets him personally.

Ah, look at the date on your source, which says nothing about "senate intel gop and dems agree no collusion" now. Typical of the Alt Right.

Can you explain how NBC news is "alt right"?

I wonder what that aide would say if he found out there was a recorded instance of Trump saying to one of Putin's cronies to tell Vlad he would be more flexible after the election.?

Good point, because that's exactly what Obama said. Talk about actual collusion. It seems the democrats accuse the republicans of everything they themselves do.

Yes, Benghazi happened, but not the way the GOP wanted.

And, yes, the Russians meddled in our election. Congress will keep investigating.


So the video inspiration lie by Rice and Clinton didn't happen?

And you do realize that the US meddles in other countries elections, don't you?

That you don't understand grammatical construction is not my problem.

Of course not. Look up definition of "lie", my friend, and your whatabout US meddling is immaterial.

Maybe you should ask the GOP standard bearer about this issue. What isn’t she locked up? Hmmmmmm?
