Why There Won’t Be Any Evidence Of Russian ‘Collusion,’ Explained In Just Two Paragraphs
dailycaller.com ^ | Ryan Pickrell

Posted on 05/20/2017 4:36:11 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Conservative blogger Jim Geraghty, a contributor for National Review and noted #nevertrumper, explained the complete lack of evidence in just two very straightforward paragraphs.

Are any Democratic lawmakers starting to fear that they’re not going to find that evidence? The intelligence community is presumably always watching the Russian government as closely as they can. The FBI counterintelligence guys presumably track Russian agents on our soil as much as possible. You figure the NSA can track just about any electronic communication between Russians and figures in the Trump campaign. If there was something sinister and illegal going on between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, the U.S. government as a whole had every incentive in the world to expose that as quickly as possible.

They didn’t expose it before Election Day, they didn’t expose it before the Electoral College voted, they didn’t expose it before Inauguration Day … How many months have the best investigators in the United States been digging into this?

“How many months have the best investigators in the United States been digging into this?”

But according to Congressional members of investigative committees, these best investigators are as nothing compared to their own cunning talents.

The Russians didn’t hack the DNC. A DNC staffer, by the name of Seth Rich, abtained access to Podesta emails and gave them to Wikileaks. He was later found dead. His murder was ruled a robbery, although nothing was stolen.

This whole Russian collusion is such BS. No one thought Trump would beat his 16 opponents in the primaries either. The Democrat voters themselves rejected hillary to the extent they had to sabotage Bernie. The idiots who buy into the Russia BS are just plain stupid.

Doesn’t mean they aren’t holding back on misleading circumstantial evidence to try to drum him out of office once they succeed in driving his polls down a little further.

There must be a cartoon to go with Post #3.


Its like the old joke. The man is on his knees by a street lamp. What are you doing? Looking for my keys. You lost them here? No, I lost them over there. So why aren’t you looking over there? Because the light is better under the lamp.

Democrats have very selective memories. Trump said he would drain the swamp, so, that means democrats are prime targets to go down the drain.

......from what I understand, a special prosecutors has broad scope to investigate and prosecute any crime found along the way. So, if the S/P finds that the DNC conspired to use the Russian narrative for the purpose of bringing down the presidency, he can prosecute that conspiracy....(hat tip pjammers)

A gilt-edged insight.....most helpful. Dems stepped into it bigtime.

Let's amp up the odds that this Dem conspiracy gets prosecuted.

While Sessions cannot be involved in Mueller’s investigation of Russian involvement in the elections and with Trump, Sessions needs to open up a specific investigation on Robert Mueller and his subversive dealings with the Russians and with the islamoterrorist community in the U.S.

There’s a greater probability of finding something than Mueller’s investigation of Trump.

It is not about the amount of evidence. In LibbyLand it is about the seriousness of the charge.

As some speculated in a related post, Dems will insist on dropping the special prosecutor, if the direction changes to investigating the DNC hack and collusion in creating the Trump-Russia narrative.

It would be funny if the special counsel said “I found no ‘intent’ and no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case”

No question the DEMS have a visceral CYA instinct. That’s the reason why we have to jump in and vigorously defend OUR interests in all this.

We cannot allow Dems to manage the narrative.

DO THIS NOW: Amp up the odds that the Dem conspiracy to destroy Trump gets prosecuted.

Repubs are thrilled about this not only because it makes Trump look bad .............
...........................................................
It does not make Trump look bad to anyone who thinks for himself. Only media mop-ups gorge themselves on the maybe, if’s, ands, and buts of current so called journalists. This entire set up is so transparent it should have been thrown out before it began. The left has attacked this president with anti-constitutional aggression since his election. There should have been NO questions over Comey’s firing! The FBI Director serves at the pleasure of the president. Period! Any reason or NO reason and Comey loses his job. The left has attacked the president’s ability to protect this country by limiting people who can come here through his EO. According to the CONSTITUTION, the president has the right, but left wingers have challenged his right in court and meanwhile, we are subjected to danger which could be avoided had the president’s order not been UNLAWFULLY halted.
The Clintons’ treason WILL BE exposed and result in massive jail time if there is any ounce left of justice in this country. Those that aide and abet the left need to be frightened. Theeir time is coming. The American people are FED UP!

What if everyone were to plead the 5th.

Which is what I would advise my client.

Stand firm and we will take the indictment since we know there is no crime. But I will be damned if I am going to be Scooter Libbyed when they had the Valerie Plame leaker already on tape!

The “unmasking” will come out exposing how wide spread
it is/was. Obama and his deep state crumbles.

Trump's "collusion" is nothing more than a failure on his part to be sufficiently outraged when the DNC was hacked.
