The publication of a House Republican memo alleging surveillance violations in the Russia probe has prompted President Trump to declare that he is “totally” vindicated. As many have pointed out, that is not true...
That said, the memo is not necessarily the disaster for Trump and the Republicans that it is widely considered to be. Many of Trump’s political opponents remain tethered to the eventual emergence of proof that his campaign colluded with the Russian government in order to win the presidency. But the evidentiary basis so far for Russiagate is thin, to say the least. Meanwhile, the relentless pursuit of this narrative above all else has had dangerous consequences.
As high-level officials and investigators have repeatedly acknowledged, there is still no evidence so far of coordination between the Trump orbit and the Russian government over the release of stolen e-mails or any other campaign matter...
The shaky evidentiary basis for collusion extends to Russiagate’s other central pillars...
It has been over a year since the release, shortly before Trump’s inauguration, of a US intelligence report alleging a Russian-government campaign to elect Trump through e-mail hacking and covert propaganda. Amid the ensuing uproar, some quietly noted at the time that the public version of the report “does not or cannot provide evidence for its assertions” (The Atlantic).
In its place is a bipartisan fearmongering campaign that recalls the height of the Cold War...

"...The nation is said to face “an ongoing attack by the Russian government through Kremlin-linked social media actors directly acting to intervene and influence our democratic process” (Democrats Representative Adam Schiff and Senator Dianne Feinstein); in which “Russia continues…to disseminate propaganda designed to weaken our nation” (former acting CIA director Michael Morell and former Republican Representative Mike Rogers); which means that we cannot “simply sit back and hope that we do not face another attack by a hostile foreign power” (Republican Senator Marco Rubio and Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen).
"A credulous national media has helped disseminate the panic..."
And there's a lot more to the article. It's sort of long and from The Nation, of course, but I think worth a full read nevertheless.
IDK about anyone else, but I’ve learned that those who run the FBI and the DoJ hate America...
The leftist liars know what’s up but they won’t write about it during primetime will they?
Keep looking, marxists. If you don’t find anything, just make it up, like you always do.
Anyone with an IQ over 37 knows the Russians would have really wanted Hillary to win as they could blackmail her over the Uranium One deal.

He makes claims that republicans are promoting conspiracy about secret society, which is nonsense since that is the word Page used in a text message to Strzok.
Clinton Will Be Tied to All FBI Sources in Trump Probe, Solomon Says
Investigation into alleged collusion between 2016 GOP presidential nominee and Russia is fatally flawed, ‘The Ingraham Angle’ is told
WHY would the Russians interfere in the election to help TRUMP? What would they stand to gain? They had already made great progress throwing money at Shrillary while she was SOS, so it would seem much more likely that they would want HER to win. After all, with all of the skeletons in her closet, and her penchant for corruption, Shrillary would have been much easier to influence/control, wouldn't she?
The whole Trump-Russia collusion thing is absurd on its face.

37?
I think you’re setting the bar too high for the libs.
Yep,they apparently can’t see the evidence, right in front of them, and where it leads?
Trump rails against ‘swamp’ after report details US deal with shady spy
NY POST By Mary Kay Linge / February 10, 2018
In the wake of a sensational story about CIA negotiations with a Russian hacker, President Trump on Saturday condemned business as usual in the “swamp” of the federal government.
US spies reportedly paid $100K to Russian operative who claimed to have dirt on Trump
“According to the @nytimes, a Russian sold phony secrets on “Trump” to the U.S. Asking price was $10 million, brought down to $1 million to be paid over time,” Trump wrote.
“I hope people are now seeing & understanding what is going on here,” he continued. “It is all now starting to come out.....DERAIN THE SWAMP.
The report, which broke late Friday, said that US intelligence gave a $100,000 down payment to a shady Russian operative who pocketed the cash and took off without producing a promised goldmine of espionage assets – including alleged photos of Trump in a sexually compromising position.

” secret society” -—> Code for Deep State RICO Conspiracy to run an ongoing Coup.
"Rachel Maddow, the top-rated cable-news host who covers Russiagate more than all other issues combined, has speculated that Putin was responsible for the hiring of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson; is inducing Trump to “weaken” the State Department and “bleed out” the FBI; and, via the infamous “pee tape” alleged by Steele, may blackmail Trump into withdrawing US forces near Russia’s border."
Sorry, I am just not buying this nonsense, just as most people with more than 10 functioning brain cells aren't.
And what have we learned from this year of “Russiagate”?
NOTHING. It only confirms our earlier suspicions about the motives and methods of the vast left-wing crime syndicate. But so far, there has been little if any pushback, and this crew of swamp dwellers has not yet felt any real heat.
“That said, the memo is not necessarily the disaster for Trump and the Republicans that it is widely considered to be.”
Say what?
The whole Trump Russia thing is a wholly manufactured set of contacts put in play by Steele and his MI6 and Russian contacts. They setup Russians to contact Trump people just so they could justify FISA warrants and unmaskings. Everything was known in advance, Flynn was setup. Papadopolous is a question mark maybe a double agent/plant.
The Nation just delivered a pro-RUSSIA column here. Where the words that exonerate Russia, it is by pooh poohing the Democrat meme of Trump- RUSSIA collusion, citing that there is still no evidence. Seemingly this appears as if exonerating Trump, as well.
However, they finally swing back around to their favorite purpose and discuss all the trouble Trump causes Russia, particularly in the Ukraine.
The Nation likes communism.
