I disagree completely. Had Trump not done this, the MSM would be running unopposed with the "Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election" narrative.
His remarks at least open the discussion up a but further, so now at least we can ask "On what evidence do you base this theory on?". It also creates some motivation to dig a little deeper into the agencies who may be leaking this phony narrative.
It may take some time to put a proper case together on all this, but I think it will happen.
No it hasn’t, not when you have R’s defecting on this issue
