Third, the investigation established that several individuals affiliated with the
Trump Campaign lied to the Office, and to Congress, about their interactions
with Russian-affiliated individuals and related matters. Those lies materially
impaired the investigation of Russian election interference. The Office charged
some of those lies as violations of the federal false-statements statute. Former
National Security Advisor Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying about his
interactions with Russian Ambassador Kislyak during the transition period.
George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy advisor during the campaign period,
pleaded guilty to lying to investigators about, inter alia, the nature and timing of
his interactions with Joseph Mifsud, the professor who told Papadopoulos that
the Russians had dirt on candidate Clinton in the form of thousands of emails.
Former Trump Organization attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to making
false statements to Congress about the Trump Moscow project.>
Ok, so you’re taking the fact that the entire
Mueller investigation could produce nothing showing meaningful Russian interference to be an issue as proof that there was meaningful Russian interference?
No… There is simply no doubt that there was Russian interference:
As set forth in detail in this report, the Special Counsel’s investigation
established that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election principally
through two operations. First, a Russian entity carried out a social media
campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Second, a Russian intelligence service
conducted computer-intrusion operations against entities, employees, and
volunteers working on the Clinton Campaign and then released stolen
documents. The investigation also identified numerous links between the
Russian government and the Trump Campaign.
On February 16, 2018, a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia returned
an indictment charging 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities—
including the Internet Research Agency (IRA) and Concord Management and
Consulting LLC (Concord)—with violating U.S. criminal laws in order to
interfere with U.S. elections and political processes.
The Mueller investigation couldn’t bring criminal charges of conspiracy against Manafort & co., but they obviously had contact and were found guilty lying about it.
But sure, giving these people the benefit of the doubt is completely normal behavior in 2026. You go on defending them as much as you want.
Yes, Russia spent $100,000 on Facebook ads. And probably was tied in with stealing emails. And?
You’re moving goalposts here. There’s absolutely no evidence in Mueller or elsewhere that (a) Trump is a Russian agent (he’s quite possible of being an evil idiot on his own), or (b) that Russian actions in any way altered the results of the 2016 election.
and were found guilty lying about it.
They were found guilty of lying. The fact that’s ALL they were found guilty of is why the Mueller report was such a flop.
You go on defending them as much as you want.
I’m not defending anyone. I’m tired of watching supposed “resistance” to Trump and the GOP fascism be squandered on this idiotic conspiracy theory because it makes people like you feel like you’re living in a Le Carre novel.
Yeah, the captured court slapped their wrist and told them they were bad boys. If that was me I’d ha e been tried for treason, but Okie dokie. Fat man said it so it’s true, eh?! They will not believe the lies their eyes tell them or something something.
I’m talking about the “No collusion” thing. Yes, he should be tried for treason as should the GOP senators who enabled him as well. Could have avoided all this chaos over the last 100 or so years by actually trying and executing the traitors to the country that instigated the first civil war, but here we are. It was allowed to fester and rot and now the whole body is terminal.
you don’t need conspiracy theories about Russia to hate Trump
It’s not a conspiracy theory
Did you actually read the report, ever?
There’s a reason nothing came from it.
Yeah, the reason being:
Ok, so you’re taking the fact that the entire Mueller investigation could produce nothing showing meaningful Russian interference to be an issue as proof that there was meaningful Russian interference?
The only charges that came out were perjury.

Treason is defined in the constitution.
What are you babbling about? I honestly have no clue.

What is the basis for a charge of treason that you’re calling for? It sounds like you’re saying this should happen under US constitutional law, or?
Open your eyes. It’s not a conspiracy.
