I wish I still had contact with leftist coworkers in Colorado who, in 2016, were bouncing off the walls about Trump and Russia Collusion. Of course I knew early on that it was a dirty trick by Hillary and I even knew the dollar amounts funneled by Hillary, the DNC account she controlled and by Obama through Perkins Coie to Steele. But trying to tell leftists anything is pretty much wasted energy. I wonder if they feel foolish now or if they still believe it.

They probably still believe it. Most lefties erect active barriers to seeing inconvenient truths.

An anonymous source citing anonymous foreign sources. This scandal is in need of some substance if it’s going to have any legs.

Straight-forward treason. Starting with Hillary and Obama, they all need to be charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced to a short drop and quick stop.

Some that I’ve interacted with for years still believe in Trump Russian collusion.

They are impervious to truth.

They will never admit they were wrong. They never do.

All in all, they tried to rig the election in their favor by planting false evidence of a crime which they manufactured Jussie Smollett style.

No, it’s EXACTLY what I thought it was.

The headline is directed at the ignorant centrists (the turncoats).

Additionally, it’s becoming strikingly clear that both the dems and ds never expected the likes of DJT to return to power.

But my other hand filled weeks ago. All I can expect now if to hopefully forever destroy zero’s so-called ‘legacy’ with facts and compel the left to defend his actions (which a majority of dems will likely do).

Agree, but unfortunately nothing will happen with these two !! The Lib/Dem/Insane class will deny deny deny more vociferously than the OJ defenders ! Obama would claim immunity although it will be obvious he continued to promote the treason long after he was no longer President and not subject to such immunity. Hillary - untouchable - no prosecutor wants to commit suicide !

They are busy reinforcing their echo chamber to rationalize their positions.

My $$ bet.

The results of a recent poll were posted here on FR within the last few weeks showing the vast majority of Democrats (IIRC, around 80%) still believe Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the 2016 election from Hillary. Disturbingly, the same poll showed nearly half of self-described independents believed the same.

The Russia! Russia! Russia! lie was repeated so loudly and so often that it has become "fact" in the minds of many Americans.

Cognitive Dissonance is painful, and I believe Lefties will go to any lengths, no matter how specious, to avoid the pain of having your belief systems challenged.

Many of my Democrat ex-friends still believe Trump is a Russian asset, closet KKK member, and a pedophone who raped his own daughter. Some have whispered that all the women in his administration must prove their loyalty by sleeping with him! I have tried to tell them—IF Putin wanted him to win, he would have spilled what he knew about Hillary to him. They rather believe the lie rather than see the truth. I live in deep blue coastal California—and I have lost big for my support of President Trump. Besides that—I still think Trump is the greatest president in the Decade.

Wouldn’t the individual Russians, who the US sanctioned be able to sue for the bogus allegations? Cost them money.

If convicted they should go to the Electric Chair—but not Obama—I would not want him to become a martyr. All the others can sit where lightning strikes.

It seems all the released documents are in and of themselves sufficient evidence for indictments....instead we will probably get secondary months long DOJ investigations - of what is already known.

No one is going to jail.
