Collusion was not proven. But Trump & Putin got pretty cozy, including Trump siding with Putin and against US intelligence on their info AND withholding defensive arms from Ukraine… we see how THAT turned out.

Right. Even though unlimited amounts of money and political power were thrown at it. It was a very big fraud that went on for a very long time. And then everyone wonders why some people are distrustful of the election process.

So, do you mean like the EIGHT Benghazi hearings? Or maybe the Whitewater hearings the GOP held to try to smear Bill & Hillary?

And I’m not sure you can call it a fraud when an investigation happens - under the Republican DOJ and a Republican special counsel - and there is proof of the actions, just not a smoking gun to tie Trump to it. But hey… if that’s your takeaway, then enjoy the tiny little w.

BTW, what every happened to that Durham investigation Trump & Fox News were crowing about??? I guess that passed over us like Q’s “storm”. Still waiting for all those “sealed indictments” to be opened an hundreds of Dems to be arrested. Nice.

I'm sorry, what?

Now see, you’re getting your scandals mixed up. Easy to have happen, since Trump was pretty much a train wreck.

Steele was indeed writing the report for Fusion GPS, which had been hired by… wait for it… the Republican Party to do opposition research on Trump. (They didn’t want him elected either lol). Anywho, Hillary did indeed end up buying the research, and its contents were eventually turned over to the FBI.

That’s only a small part of the Trump Russia collusion investigation. You conveniently leave out his dealings with Russia over Trump Moscow, his financial debt to Russia, the secret meetings his teams held at Trump Tower with Russian agents, Inna Yashchyshyn, Trump asking Russia publicly to find Hillary’s emails, and much more.

You also forget to mention that THIRTY FOUR people ended up being indicted thanks to the Mueller investigation. And that Mueller said that he could not rule out wrongdoing on Trump’s part, but that he did not have enough to prosecute a winning case.

So, again, if you consider that a win… go for it.

You see, your rant is precisely why a lot of people don't want to believe anything nowadays.

Even when the lies and frauds are exposed, the perpetrators double down.

What I’m really waiting for is the investigation into who was paid to push Ivana down the stairs to her death. That’s a common Russian method of enemy elimination. Now who do we know that’s pals with Putin….?
