You guys are delusional if you think a tabloid conspiracy is enough to unseat a president or convict anyone with criminal charges. Wapo, and the NYTs print a slanted story...CNN runs with it and online left leaning journalists tweet their interpretation of what was printed...your favorite comedians and actors make jokes about it and you’re stuck in a matrix of fantasy for the weekend only to end up disappointed on Monday again.

And around and round we go...
Negotiating a deal for a hotel in Moscow while he is running for president is not just any real estate mogul. This could offer insight to other meetings Trump jr and Kushner had with Russia. Keep in mind they all claimed they had no contact with Russia.

correct..... to congress.


trump also lied about it while in office:


"I have had dealings over the years where I sold a house to a very wealthy Russian many years ago. I had the Miss Universe pageant — which I owned for quite a while — I had it in Moscow a long time ago. But other than that, I have nothing to do with Russia,"


Donald J. Trump, 05/11/17

Who knows. How does this point to Trump though? Where’s Trump’s collusion at?

This is just the JFK assassination all over again. Just one conspiracy piled onto another. Personally, unless there is a full recording verified or some type of documentation, I don’t see any of this going anywhere. The hysteria in Wapo and the comment section of the NYTs just isnt concrete enough

Who? Certainly not Trump. I mean, look at this tweet:

And you are defending that?

I haven't see the full report and neither have you. Mueller forcing Cohen to admit lying to Congress for a lesser sentence for his financial convictions is not evidence or the truth.


If you want to use Cohen as a reliable witness to make a case against Trump then you don't charge him with lying or perjury because it makes him worthless especially when it's part of a plea deal for a lesser sentence for his financial convictions that has nothing to do with the Mueller investigation.

Again, you have no idea what recordings or not that Mueller has. You have no idea at all of what Mueller has.

not with the government of Russia. I'm still waiting on Mueller to show us anything other than lying to Congress.

And the bolded is your smoking gun???

I know this will drive some of you crazy, but this would never be enough to covnvict a sitting president or anyone for that matter. Unless there is hardcore, concrete evidence, it will go no where. Regardless of what a Twitter journalist with a blue check next to their name will claim

The negotiations for the deal were underway well before his candidacy. He terminated the deal during his campaign.

Muller probably has what is at the end of the trail already. He is probably connecting all the dots with timelines and all other supporting detail. Muller is not just going to say yep there is collusion with no facts. And if there is no collusion he also has to prove that too. Lying about if a meeting had or had not happened messes with his facts. This isn't some Magnum PI episode. Muller's report is going to be thick as it's going to at least should have a time period of what everyone did and said. The amount of data he has to compile and link together factually is immense.

Remember Muller is also there to prove that there also NO collusion as well with fact and supporting detail.

So if there is no collusion according to Trump etal, let Muller speak his peace so we can all move on.
