No, what I am saying is that there is no proof or evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians...only if and buts.
That's not true at all. You have to make dumb assumptions in order to come to the conclusion that no evidence exists.
1) Trump requested that Russia hack into Hillary Clinton's emails. He did this on camera because he's an idiot. You can only dismiss this evidence by assuming he was just joking around.
2) Roger Stone predicted with precision that Wikileaks would soon publish Podesta's hacked emails. To dismiss this as non-evidence you have to assume Stone just made a lucky guess and that he had no insight from Russia beforehand.
3) Aaron Nevins, a Florida Republican operative, sought and received stolen Democratic voter-turnout files from Guccifer 2.0, a hacker
believed by U.S. intelligence to be working for Russia. That hacked information was
passed along to Roger Stone and the Trump campaign. STone admits he received a link from Guffifer 2.0 with hacked materials, but he denies sharing it with anyone. You must assume Stone is telling the truth.
4) Trump’s campaign director, Paul Manafort was paid $17 million by a Ukrainian party controlled by Moscow to run a pro-Russian political influence campaign. Another crazy coincidence.
5) Foreign-policy adviser Carter Page has worked with a Russian oil firm, fervently defended Russian policy interests in a way very few Americans have, and was targeted for recruitment by Russian spies. Another crazy coincidence.
6) Michael Flynn was paid $68,000 by Russian entities that he illegally failed to disclose, suggesting he has something to hide. Another crazy coincidence.
7) A
recent report in the WSJ suggests Flynn was connected to GOP operative, Peter W. Smith, who was on a mission to obtain Hillary Clinton's hacked emails from Russia.
8) Matt Tait is the CEO and founder of Capital Alpha Security, a UK based security consultancy. Because he was mentioned in the WSJ report he
wrote yesterday of his experience with Peter Smith and informed him multiple times that it would be improper to obtain hacked documents provided by Russia. Smith wasn't concerned about ethics, he only cared about harming Clinton because the end justified the means.
9) Trump himself has refused to disclose his tax returns, but his son once boasted, “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” and Trump has worked closely with Russian gangsters. Move along, nothing to see here...
So there is plenty of evidence.
