Even if no concrete proof of cooperation with Russians could be documented enough for indictment, it’s very clear that Trump people were approached on numerous occasions to work with them on getting Trump elected through their “fake news” sites, etc., and they never contacted the FBI about an act by a hostile power to influence our elections by spreading propaganda. So they were cheering it on, which is almost indirect collusion. And they were aware of “updates” on Russian activity as well. The Mueller report needs to be released with such info not redacted.
Also, would collusion with Wikileaks technically not be classified as collusion with Russians? Yes.
Let’s see what the polls say in a few weeks.
I’m guessing we’ll get to the 62% vs. 38% area and it will stick at about that, possibly forever.
Huh, there are those same damned numbers again. I wish the 27% Keyes Crazification Factor hadn’t turned into the (say) 41% Trump Crazification Factor, but here we are in 2019.
Interesting. So really it’s the White House, FOX News, Rush, et al, plus the entire “liberal” media where the consensus seems to be that Trump was exonerated and anyone who said he wouldn’t be should engage in soul-searching about how they could have been so mean to Trump by predicting that he wouldn’t be.
It’s the general public that actually retains the ability to engage in critical thinking.
Can we ask them to give the pundits and journalists lessons in how to do that?
“Trump isn’t likely to get the political lift he’s hoping for from Barr’s letter.”
Well, sure, but he’ll more than make up for that by trying to take away everyone’s health insurance.
Dear Obstructor of Justice-General Barr:
You should have realized that #ETTD. Now you’re going down too.
Trump isn’t likely to get the political lift he’s hoping for from Barr’s letter.
Trump couldn’t pour piss from a boot even if the instructions were on the heel.
Maybe if the instructions were a pictogram…
Why should he pour piss from a boot? He can always get Russian hookers!
“No lift” = electile dysfunction??
Thankfully for them, the will of the people can apparently be flicked away like lint off a sweatshirt. See: Wisconsin, Florida, etc. We need to break out the yellow vests.
The American people are apparently a lot smarter with a ton more common sense than all of official Washington -it’s politicos, FBI, IC, and DoJ. It’ll be their everlasting shame that they know we have a National Security threat as President and will do nothing about it.
You just know…one day, when Putin no longer needs this Idiot-in-Chief, he’s going to rub our noses in it in front of the world by revealing proof of Trump’s treachery and infidelity.
“Barely half of poll recipients say they’d heard a “great deal” (23 percent) or a “moderate amount” about the story, so plenty of respondents were simply guessing and may have firmer, better-informed opinions in the coming days and weeks”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Whoo boy that’s a good one. They’ll certainly have firmer opinions as time goes on, but they won’t be better-informed with the way the MSM is handling this shit. This is why Barr did what he did. This is why they planned it out this way. Trump will now have several weeks of propaganda and the MSM will have several week of abject failure to help everyone understand that Trump is our infallible god-king. Then Barr will release a redacted joke of the Mueller report, claiming the redaction of every bit of evidence of wrongdoing or collusion or obstruction, etc., was necessary to protect sources, methods, executive privilege and/or national security because it could otherwise be used by bad actors to compromise Trump or his foreign policies or whatever. The MSM will then dutifully claim that their blind reporting in the intervening weeks, based entirely on Barr’s asinine letter and not the facts and evidence contained in the Mueller report, was totally vindicated when the thoroughly redacted Mueller report was released…and how dare the Dems/liberals criticize their reporting on the subject? This will of course be followed by reporting attacking the Dems to remind them that, ultimately, it is the MSM’s job to support and further plutocracy in this country.
I knew as soon as Barr’s monumentally hilarious spin of the Mueller report was released, trump and the rest of the GOP would start stepping on their dicks in record time.
As usual, they did not disappoint in their stupidity.
Scream incoherently and burn a bunch of shit in the streets without any plan, any principles, any positions or policies other than “we’re unhappy for reasons we’re not really able to articulate” except maybe some sort of ill-defined distaste for big spooky informed political elites?
Uh, you first.

[/quote]Fine by me. That’s already apparent to you, me, and - dare I say - all of us here (certain trolls excluded).
We have some excellent journalists who are not MSM shills. This is encouraging…but it’s a start…the key is getting information out there. For example, many people aren’t as wonky as the folks who link Congress to Barr’s summary (Barr’s LACK of referral to Congress).
It is important to ask the question, “Why all the hen’s teeth pulling?” Why is Barr so important?
And who hired Barr and WHY?
Just misconstrue my meaning for the heck of it? Sure, why not; always helpful.
He’s skirting with Obstruction of Justice Bigly.
