“The opinion piece sounds like an effort to concede there was no collusion while still diverting attention away from the Democrats’ connection to Fusion GPS.”
BINGO
The story is leaking out 0- the REAL story, with the ‘final’ arrest of one of the Aman brothers -
So they are, it seems, trying to cut their losses.
They’ll knock off their phony TRUMP/RUSSIA Meme - and just blame Russia - So please don’t look behind the curtain - They are, it appears, ready to throw lynch, Comey, lil Debbie, the DNC- everyone EXCEPT the worst one - Cankles - into the fire.
Get the popcorn....
How does that work? It wasn't "just Russia" chit chatting amongst themselves. The Russian panic in the US involves US actors launching insinuations of illegal activity by the Trump campaign. In other words, for the Russians to cause this insinuation, they had to collude with somebody.
If the insinuation had been against Jill Stein, the panic would not exist.
Finding that the Russians are behind the panic, behind the insinuations that resulted appointment of in a Special Counsel to investigate the Trump campaign, does not resolve the case. Who in the US was used by the Russians to gin up the panic?
I see many eager participants in the insinuation that the Trump campaign knowingly and illegally worked with the Russians. It's not possible that all of the participants in this propaganda effort are all dupes. Some of them must be Russian tools. Warner, Schiff, Durbin (who telegraphed an investigation into the Trump campaign, in the Sessions confirmation hearing on January 10th), hoards in the press.
If the "Russian collusion" story is BS, we need to get to the bottom of who pushed it, because if it hadn't been pushed, it wouldn't have caused this much damage.
In short, "let's move on" doesn't work.
