    I told you guys there wasn't any collusion with Russia but I got to say if Russia's goal was to try dividing this country then they did a great job.

    There is no evidence or data to suggest that Russia interfering with election had any effects on the outcome of the election.

    Or more likely imo...Mueller decided he had the core indictments needed to answer the question of his mandate, but didn’t feel it was required (or smart in this politically charged case) to necessarily be the sole arbiter of every crime needing to be charged in the orbit of the Trump circle.

    Three key prosecutions (Manafort, Stone, Flynn) allowed him the ability to answer the question back to DOJ and Congress through those court documents and a final report. Prosecuting every single crime wouid A. Slow down the ability to get the principle answers back ASAP, B. Could be perceived as over reach leading to his political compromise and removal.

    Funny, in consecutive posts you go from trump's ridiculous and disproven "there was no russian interference" (he even attempted to cite putin who told him russia didn't interfere... and we know putin and trump never lie), to admitting russia did interfere with the election, but also switching to trump's newer story... "russia's interference had no effect." Again, it undeniable russia interfered, spending millions per month to do so. And, its clear they did so to help trump defeat Clinton. So your new question... did it impact the election?

    Its not clear how much it impacted the election. The DNI official report did state that they did not measure the impact. And its likely impossible to ever measure what impact they did have. What is clear though is it had some impact, and in states where the margin was slim, that impact had to have some impact.

    I always wondered what would break the Democrats 5%+ election advantage due to the bias and influence of the media. Now we know. They did it to themselves. By dropping all journalistic integrity to attack Trump, and by dropping all integrity to knowingly advance lies for two years on Russiagate, the media's credibility has died of a self-inflicted wound.



    GOOD DAY

    When the Young Turks call out the mainstream media then you know it is has to be REALLY bad. Sadly it is easy to see many here on this forum have bought the propaganda hook, line, & sinker. Even in the last few days many still believe this and want to hold onto the Trump/Russia misguided theory. They have been stuck in the echo chamber and have been bombarded with this daily for far too long. It will be really hard for them now that reality is setting in.

    It's rare to see Trump and integrity used in the same sentence.

    It’s absolutely silly for anyone in either side to be claiming victory or vindication about anything until the report comes out.

    Not really...but that sentence usually includes the words “has a complete lack of”.

    Another sign that the right is being manic about this report and trying to play it both ways.

    How can you guys be so celebratory doing backflips and coming out in droves to “own the libs” on the internet like you just won the freakin lottery, and at the same time pre-emptively blasting whatever will be coming out of this document as something to be ignored.

    So does Mueller have credibility and his report is exoneration, or is he a partisan hack who we should not believe??

    Nothing about the response you guys have had has made a once of sense.
