“kept the ‘Russia collusion’ story alive “
The problem with the headline is it implies that is in the past now. The BS story is very much alive. The GOP is still not defending Trump now even though the shameless bastards have been exposed for knowing Trump was not being investigated months ago and said nothing.
At some point, in order to drain the swamp, Trump will need to play hardball with the GOP congress. When are the congressional primaries?
It has been said a number of times - including there being no evidence of any collusion, etc. - it just wasn’t reported to any degree.
