Why There Won’t Be Any Evidence Of Russian ‘Collusion,’Explained In 2 Paragraphs
Quote:The narrative that President Donald Trump has questionable ties to Russia persists, even though evidence of collusion has yet to come to light and probably won’t.
Conservative blogger Jim Geraghty, a contributor for National Review and noted #nevertrumper, explained the complete lack of evidence in just two very straightforward paragraphs:
Are any Democratic lawmakers starting to fear that they’re not going to find that evidence? The intelligence community is presumably always watching the Russian government as closely as they can. The FBI counterintelligence guys presumably track Russian agents on our soil as much as possible. You figure the NSA can track just about any electronic communication between Russians and figures in the Trump campaign. If there was something sinister and illegal going on between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, the U.S. government as a whole had every incentive in the world to expose that as quickly as possible.
They didn’t expose it before Election Day, they didn’t expose it before the Electoral College voted, they didn’t expose it before Inauguration Day … How many months have the best investigators in the United States been digging into this?
The establishment media has repeatedly highlighted the president’s inexperience and incompetence, yet he has somehow been able to hide deep political orchestrations with Russia, a clear U.S. rival, from America’s most advanced surveillance apparatus on the planet.
Reuters reported Thursday that members of the Trump campaign had 18 undisclosed exchanges with Russian officials, and while it is troubling that those interactions were not disclosed, Reuters introduced that there is “no evidence of wrongdoing or collusion between the campaign and Russia.”

I'm supposed to believe someone will willfully commit a felony (or two or three) by illegally leaking an unmasked civilians name to the press who was caught up in surveillance, but wont leak any evidence of an actual crime committed by Trump or the campaign. Yea right.

Just shows that you don't have to be a Trump supporter to see all the "Trump-Russia collusion" shenanigans as absurd.

I've been saying the same thing for a long time. Everyone knows it doesn't wash logically, that is why NYT and WaPo reporters are working over time right now in a desperate attempt to conjure up any and everything they can to add some meat on the bone for the Democrats. It's obviously failing miserably. Dershowitz was on Tucker last night confused as to what the alleged crime is even supposed to be.
The one thing I'm looking forward to seeing is how the Dems plan on pivoting off of this story with any credibility whatsoever. They went all in on a nothing burger, and it's going to be absolutely hilarious watching them squirm.

Hillary was a Russian plant to ensure the Trump victory. How else can one explain her horrible campaign?

Right. DT probably only fired Comey to save him the embarrassment of coming up empty.

He fired Comey for being the incompetent media whore he was/is. Of course, he could've fired Comey for whatever flimsy reason he thought up at any given moment.
But...continue to listen to your government overlords. They've got all the answers.

RE: Why There Won’t Be Any Evidence Of Russian ‘Collusion,’Explained In 2 Paragraphs
I said the same things before he took the office of president....
if there was any proof congress would have had it. Then it would have leaked. The only think worse than having a Russian spy in the white house would be The FBI, CIA, NAS and Congress knowing this and not stopping it before he got there.
If not for sound bites and headlines this would have been over months ago. These rags know most people do not care about anything or pay attention to anything pass a sound bite and headline. After that you can write anything you want even pointing out there is no proof and all the idiots see...

DT would certainly know one when he sees one. But you hit on yet the most likely reason for Comey's firing: Trump was jealous of his showboating ability and all the attention he was getting.

The fact that the FBI director is getting "attention" means the FBI director is incompetent and an attention whore.
