    Yes of course based on PAST information but this thread is about collusion and Mueller's ONGOING investigation. So I'm gonna wait for it to conclude. Now answer my question, who are you or the other guy working for? And don't say no one because no sane person would post that much and not get paid for it.

    LOL. I suspect that trump supporters have all the (alternative) facts they need from Limbaugh, Fox & Friends, Hannity, Levin, Coulter, Malikin, InfoWars, Breitbart, and the father of news aggregators... Drudge.

    But for those interested... search "trump" in twitter. I skip most of the noise and focus on those from recognizable news sources and tweeters from both sides of the aisle (you'd be amazed how much stuff comes from GOP sources like Ana Navarro, Rick Wilson, and Bill Kristol) and really sharp people like Natasha Bertrand and Susan Hennessey (who I have a strange crush on I am embarrassed to say). I often follow the people they follow... great way to catch more smart people.

    If you think I am bad though... follow Seth Abramson. The guy is lawyer and journalist and builds out long strings of tweets building out the case against trump.

    I honestly believe he just wanted to strengthen his brand and start his own TV network. There is an odd kind of tragedy here.

    He didn't want to be president, that was evident from the beginning. I remember reading somewhere that he had told Christie he was going to endorse him once he dropped out of the primary, not something you would do if you had any confidence or plan to win the nomination and/or presidency. On top of that, his campaign made zero effort to go after unpledged delegates during the primary in places like Colorado and he seemed to float ideas like the Muslim ban to try and sabotage his own campaign, I mean remember how shocking that idea was at the time? Now it seems like nothing after 2.5 years of this clown show.

    My belief that he didn't want to win is also the one thing that holds me back from buying into some of the Russia collusion stuff, maybe Russia really did have dirt on him and were holding it over him and it was part of the reason that he seems like he really didn't want to be president, who knows.

    never talk to the FBI, for any reason

    doesn't matter if you did nothing wrong before the interview, if you get any facts wrong during the interview, they can hit you with a perjury charge whenever they feel like it

    If you aren't lying you won't be guilty of perjury. Are you making excuses for people who broke the law?

    You do realize that blogger popehat provides the same advice "everybody lies so don't talk to prosecutors" to all defendants of crimes. So do you think that all accused criminals should plead the fifth and not testify? I am sure trump's defense team shares that belief, after all, trump often rambles off "script" and usually tells stories that at best can be described as "inconsistent with the truth" and at worst show he is a serial or pathological liar.
