The two posts above perfectly encapsulate so many things about America right now.

I love hyperbole as much as anyone, but geez dial the hair fire back a notch. The corner store sells Russian vodka so obviously they are complicit as well in something somewhere somehow.

The Mueller chapter is closed, Uranium One chapter is closed, and most importantly...the cold war is over.

This is why manufactured scandals are so important to the right-wing disinformation bubble. Attention on fake scandals gives moral permission to dismiss the real ones.

Yes, precisely. Uranium One was a made-up scandal in anticipation of the illegal Trump/Saudi nuclear deal coming out. The distraction worked. The Saudi deal's public impact was decreased.

Lol. No need for that list. Trump is just a conspiratorial, petty, morally deficient individual not grounded in reality who works hard only at doing his best to sow divisiveness amongst Americans. He doesn’t deserve to hold the office of the Presidency.

Although, maybe you should explain ‘mean teeets’, from your list. Are you smitten with The Donald’s man-boobs? : )

Here is an interesting article and interview where John Solomon gets closer to unraveling the Russiagate conspiracy theory:

In this article he discusses how the doj should reform how it uses sources. Maybe the Obama administration was a little too trusting of certain sources that turned out to be opposition research:

https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/457628-new-evidence-shows-why-steele-the-ohrs-and-tsa-workers-never-should-have

In the interview, Mr. Solomon relates how Mr. Mifsud's lawyer says that Mifsud was working for western intelligence and not the Russians. That seems to be a big blow to one aspect of russia conspiracy theory, that Mifsud was supposedly sent by the Russians to tell George Papadopoulos about the Clinton emails that Russia supposedly had. Mr. Solomon goes on to say that the Mifsud lawyer believes that Mifsud, being ordered to speak to Papadopoulos by western intelligence operatives, was part of a western intelligence operation.

Here is more reporting from Mr. Solomon:

One wonders whether russiagate was like so many other dirty tricks campaigns that political parties do? Perhaps Nixon is smiling somewhere?

except the election of 2016 and the US Constitution says he does deserve to hold that office....hmm...I guess I will have to hold that "says" over yours on this one.
