You know, dropped, as in ābombshellā. Because every report on Trump and his cronies lands with a splat, it must be dropped from somewhere. Itās such a cliche they donāt think they have to spell it out I guess.

So there were numerous reasons for Obama and Biden to have committed ātreasonā by āspyingā on the Trump campaign, hm? Interesting.

I see the point about the potential ambiguity of the headline but it was clear to me - partly because of the word final. āDrops final reportā is more consistent with the āreleasesā connotation than with ādiscontinuesā

I get your point, and agree to a certain extent. The point Iām making is that Repub politicians and their urban and suburban Republican voters have been able to engage in willful ignorance by pointing to the fact that all the accusations against Trump have come from Dems. Now, itās coming from their own party, from some of the most powerful Republican senators on one of the most important committees. This report makes it much harder for these folks to toss these accusations onto the deep state pile. The politicians will have to address the report. Voters will have to choose to ignore it. The whole Repbulican party will have to either claim that the Republican-led committee is also part of the deep state, or admit that there is a āthereā there.
Anything that moves the needle, even by a hair, matters. I think this report will move the needle.

Oh gosh Roger Stone who features prominently in the Senate Intel Report.
`
`While you (and definitely I) were sleeping: Roger Stone dropped the appeal of his convictions for lying to Congress, obstruction, and witness tampering. Recall that Trump commuted his 40-month prison sentence, but it was not a full-out pardon: https://t.co/bA69CXx0xt pic.twitter.com/YQYiCBKDbS

Trump could throw babies into a wood chipper on the South Lawn and his followers would not be swayed into believing he was a disreputable character. They donāt give a flying f**k what Republican Senators have to say about him.

Comparing Manafort to a scurvy dog is insulting to scurvy, never mind dogs.

Paging Jaime Harrison.
Sen. Graham had this information. KNEW Trump was guilty of more than what he was Impeached for in the Houseā¦and still covered up for Daddy Trump.
Pushed for no trial.
Actively went on news programs to defend Trump.
Voted to not find Trump guilty of charges.
LINDSEY KNEW AND STILL COVERED UP.
Accessory to a crime after the fact is still a crime. Accessory to Treason and Obstruction of Justice are criminal offenses.

Please pardon me for thinking that the conclusions of this report prove without a doubt that the Senate Republicans who refused to have a proper hearing on the case much less impeach the bastard are traitors to the USA.

then we thin the herd of those not worthy to represent.
Every time Trump says about Russian interference in the 2016 campaign āno collusionā he is lying and everyone knows it. It is undeniable that the Trump campaign was sharing polling data with the Russians. I have been around politics a long time and if you are sharing poling data you are colluding.
