Personally I still doubt that Trump directly did anything like collude with the Russians. Various members of his campaign staff certainly did, and Trump would have been perfectly to let them do it, but I’d be very surprised if his involvement went beyond being perfectly happy to passively let the Russians do whatever they wanted as long as it benefited him, an attitude which appears to apply to many of his previous business practices as well.
Obstruction, however - that’s where the “clear and convincing evidence” is likely to turn up, and even moreso for money laundering. We shall see.
That’s my take as well. I don’t think Donald has the patience or the intelligence to actively have taken part in the collusion part. He reminds me a lot of the governor that Mel Brooks played in Blazing Saddles- just barely conscious and totally incapable. But the coverup and money laundering are going to be what puts him in prison.
If Trump didn’t willingly collude with or passively permit his staff to collude with the Russians, it is because Russian intelligence feared that Trump’s absolute incompetence at keeping secrets would undermine the entire effort.
The king of micromanagers not knowing that some of his staff were actively colluding with the Russians, including some of his own children? That’s about as likely as the sun not rising tomorrow.
I’m with you on this, completely. I pretty much realized there was a conspiracy and he was in on it during that fateful campaign rally when he said, “Russia, if you’re listening…” A chill went down my spine as he said it and though I understood it was far from proved, I just knew.
No, that’s right. **HurricaneDitka **managed to read the DOJ report on racial bias in policing in Ferguson and not find any evidence of racial bias in policing in Ferguson. I suspect he has it in him to watch a video of Trump colluding with Russians without finding any evidence of Trump colluding with Russians.
Great. When he does, we’ll have some actual evidence to examine, rather than all this silly evidence-free speculation that currently occupies so many of your minds.
