As the likelihood that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia seems headed toward zero, the likelihood of proof of a different form of collusion seems headed upward toward certainty.
The Russia-collusion charge had some initial credibility because of businessman Donald Trump’s dealings in Russia and candidate Trump’s off-putting praise of Vladimir Putin.
It was fueled by breathless media coverage of such trivial events as Jeff Sessions’s conversation with the Russian ambassador at a Washington reception — and, of course, by the appointment of former FBI director Robert Mueller as special counsel. But Mueller’s prosecutions of Trump campaign operatives were for misdeeds long before the campaign, and his indictment of 13 Russians specified that no American was a “knowing participant” in their work.
Now there’s talk that Mueller is winding up his investigation. It seems unlikely that whatever he reports will fulfill the daydreams so many liberals have of making Trump go the way of Richard Nixon.
Meanwhile, the evidence builds of collusion by Obama-administration law-enforcement and intelligence personnel in trying to elect Hillary Clinton and defeat and delegitimize Trump in and after the 2016 election.
The investigation of Clinton’s illegal email system was conducted with kid gloves. FBI director James Comey accepted Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s order to call it a “matter” rather than an “investigation.” Clinton aides were allowed to keep her emails and destroy 30,000 of them, plus cellphones. They were not subject to grand-jury subpoenas, and a potential co-defendant was allowed to claim attorney-client privilege.
On June 27, 2016, Lynch clandestinely met with Bill Clinton on his plane at the Phoenix airport — a meeting that became known only thanks to an alert local TV reporter.

More than 1% sure and a lot more than a smidgen of collusion.
It only took the GOPer a year and a half to figure that out.
The Democrat Party has found that its crimes of breath-taking magnitudes are not perceived of as crimes.
Their crimes are so massive, and so proximate to public view that the public simply can’t step away far enough to see the shape of them.
The real collusion was when both parties colluded to put the Kenyaneisan Usurper in the White House in violation of the Constitution.
The three biggest jokes on America are climate change, obummer, and the Russia/dossier mess. And the American fools keep falling for this crapila.

Lilypad,
No doubt your statement above is correct but it is not so hard to understand why.
First, you have agreement between two and a half of the most trusted groups in our country, that is traditionally trusted, the Press and the Elected and career government officials and then our education system to back it up.
Second, the allowance of unions that receive public money to re-donate that money to politicians. The teachers unions who threaten our education with strike unless we continue to pay them more and more continue to teach their own agenda to our children who grow up believing what the teachers say. Then the unions threaten to withhold their donation if the politicians don’t tow the line.
I remember decades ago when my young daughter came home from the first grade telling me something her teacher said, the teacher was wrong and I explained that to my daughter, my daughter told me I was wrong because my teacher was a TEACHER and had to know more than me.
Third, the curriculum has been so dumbed down over the years that kids go through school never studying the Constitution or how it came about. They aren’t taught the evils of Socialism/Communism and they don’t know the evils of those systems.
Fourth, gullibility of our governed amazes me. Ignorance abounds. One of my own children tried to tell me that warm water freezes faster than cold water. When I asked how that was he didn’t have a clue except a teacher told him that. When I explained that before warm water freezes it has to get cold just like the cold water he was comparing it to but he couldn’t grasp the concept. I explained to him what a BTU was and how many BTU’s had to be removed before you could freeze a pound of water per degree of temperature but it flew right over his head. How can we expect people to understand our climate when they don’t understand the basic principles of heating and cooling. How can we expect them to under stand about the lie of global warming when they don’t have a clue about where weather comes from or where heat on the earth comes from.
The liberal news agencies, ABC, CBS and NBC own the the “trusted” news services. FOX is considered “conservative” news but somehow the alphabet companies are not considered liberal.
If we don’t fix “IGNORANCE” our country is likely doomed.
My thought precisely - and it took them that long to figure out what most of us knew by Inauguration Day. And we’re supposed to take these “authoritative and insightful” publications seriously...
FBI twosome’s text messages: Obama ‘wants to know everything’
Fox News | Feb 7 2018 | Jake Gibson / FR Posted by smileyface
Newly revealed text messages between FBI paramours Peter Strzok and Lisa Page include an exchange
about preparing talking points for then-FBI Director James Comey to give to President Obama;
Obama wanted “to know everything we’re doing.”
The message, from Page to Strzok, was among thousands of texts between the lovers reviewed by Fox News.
The pair both worked at one point for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of alleged collusion between
the Trump campaign and Russia.
Page wrote to Strzok on Sept. 2, 2016, about prepping Comey because “ potus wants to know everything we’re doing.”
According to a newly released Senate report, this text raises questions about Obama’s personal involvement in the Clinton email investigation.

Riffing from your observations, see the beauty of universal suffrage in the hands of those who would control the public? A combination of fooled and bribed can easily make the majority.
problem being again with such articles or opine is that it is printed in only a few outlets.. the mainstream or media that most listen too do not say a peep about such stories.....
And those outlets being more or less "preaching to the choir." Part of the polarization process.
Obama planned to Crown a Family member President but he thought they would never go for that so he picked Hillary ,LOL
James Comey and Robert Mueller… “friends” of Trump? #RustyIrony!
In today’s #RustyIrony… the whining of James Comey and the “investigation” of Special Counsel Robert “Grand Inquisitor” Mueller has uncovered lotsa collusion… in the FBI, DOJ and even Russia... but for Hillary... against Trump. In the near insanity of the all-out pursuit to reverse the 2016 election, the brazen double standard and corruption (aka: phony “Russian” dossier) of once respected Federal institutions has been laid BARE... for ALL who care to see! In spite of the best efforts of Leftnoid Media to maintain outrage at President Trump… Mueller has (inadvertently?) exposed the dirty cops and sewage of the Deep State and the incestuous partisan relationship with their Media enablers.
Such is the true outrage for those of us in the “Deplorable” class. LeftMedia and our self-appointed “betters” show us they have absolute contempt for the Constitution, the Judeo-Christian foundations of our Republic and ALL we value as good and Godly. As Mark Steyn observed of the “Swamp”… “they have decided it’s time for government to ‘elect’ new voters” (aka: open borders and sanctuary states and cities).
The more Mueller pursues Trump and his associates, the more it seems a persecution not a prosecution. Sadly, those of the Left seem fine with tyranny... just as long as their tyrants rule!
The beautiful thing is once you’re knowledgeable on engineering and science the difference between them and how to properly debate facts it’s a better world
I’m the guy who shows up st “free energy” seminars and takes the stage and demand the charlstan state the first law of thermodynamics
If he doesn’t. I do
The. I get out. A 1hp motor and say “run this with your free energy machine “
On global warming I ask
What happens every 110000 years whether we like it or not ?
Ice ages of course
Next question. What causes them ?
Anyone who thinks about that will realize man has no effect on climate
I’m so glad that you understand thermodynamics because your post seems to indicate that you have nearly zero understanding of the English language.
