Sam believed that Trump Tweet because it aligned with something he already believed. End of story. There’s no deeper reason.

Sam has long been a proponent of the nonsensical theory that the the only collusion was Clinton collusion. This theory has been debunked over and over again but Sam will still grasp at any straw (or Trump Tweet) that can keep this fantasy alive for him.

> It seems to me that the preponderance of evidence is looking worse for the Clinton campaign, the FBI and the Obama DOJ, and better for Trump. You want Russian Collusion? How about building a dossier against a candidate, funded by the opposing candidate, by paying anonymous Russian officials for ‘dirt’ on said candidate? Because that’s what Clinton did. How is that not 10x worse than merely accepting a meeting from someone claiming to have unsolicited dirt?

> You want government malfeasance? How about using that dossier to get a warrant to spy on an American, without disclosing to the court that it was funded by the opposing campaign? How about using a news article as a secondary source to get the warrant, when you knew the article was based on the same dossier but did not disclose that to the court?
