The real winner here is Russia the rest is B.S.
I would have felt a lot easier with Trump in charge if he had actually done something about that, right from the start. But at best he just dodges around the subject and puts on a farce of a display. That is a BIG reason why Trumps relations with Russia remains a subject of deep suspicion for many people. He already has a reputation as a bold-faced liar, and I don't believe a thing he says or does with regard to Russia. I fully agree with Mr. Mueller that the Russian involvement remains a big problem for our democracy.

The idea that Russia was pulling for Clinton is nonsense.

The Russian social media campaign, WikiLeaks releasing Russian-hacked DNC emails, ... it was all to discourage people from voting for Clinton.

I think you're confused about when the 2016 election campaign occurred and whose administration was in charge. The alleged "collusion" occurred when Trump was a private citizen. You can't go back and undo it but you can go back and hold accountable those who were in charge of protecting our elections and chose to "stand down" in order to have a political "insurance policy".



Or are you suggesting that collusion with Russia to interfere with elections is currently ongoing? Because I haven't even heard the "squad" make that allegation.

We have a conservative President in the White House. He’s failed to deal with it. Period.

That could not be farther from the truth. Our goal is to help strengthen Russia.

"
If Hilly did as you said then she needs to play the piper as well. Was it Hillary or Obama’s call to action in the Ukraine?

Is it a wise idea to back track at the taxpayers expense? I’ll agree that one party will end up ignoring what the other did while in office. Yet I fail to see where Trump is dealing with Russia now.

Deal with what? Specifically, what is the problem with Russia now?

Russia and America have tried to influence the politics of all nations including each other for the past 100 years. So be very specific in what you think is some egregious ongoing interference.


(And wasn't this entire Mueller investigation a "back track at the taxpayers expense"?)

An even bigger one though is our own MSM and social media.
Another google AI engineer has just gone public about how the company is getting themselves involved in politics to sway Americans.

Our biggest threat is media. They are not presenting objective news. They are not presenting ALL the facts about something. They are cherry picking and leading people down the wrong path.

There was nothing to this "scandal" eight years ago and there is nothing to it now.
Let's look at the players that determined that "there was nothing to it". Who was in charge of the investigation of that 'deal', and who was the head of the State Department at that time?

Yea, the same crooked cop that oversaw Russian Collusion, and 'Crooked' Hillary! Secretary Clinton orchestrated the unanimous decision in 2010 by all nine members of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) regarding Uranium One. And the FBI knew that Russian nuclear industry officials had engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to help Russian President Vladimir Putin increase his commercial nuclear ambitions inside the United States, in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Geez, talk about Russian Collusion!

It happened at a time when Trump wasn't even President. It was up to Obama to "deal with it" because he was President at the time of the elections.

It is the attempt, by life-long career politicians, to unseat an elected President from outside the usual 2-Party political swamp that doesn't play their game.

The corrupt US 2-Party system wants to keep the Status Quo through any means possible to perpetuate their mutual self-serving lifetime wealth and power accumulation plans, and obfuscate their lack of truly serving the American people by constantly blaming the other party for their inactions.

And that is the Real Collusion!

Today? Aren't you forgetting that your guy hasn't been exonerated and came out of this (to anyone with a brain) as not being cleared of ten possible obstruction (per the investigation) that would indict any other American except an American President. And the country has been hit by Russian influence to improve Trump's chances of winning (per the investigation). And by way of the investigation, Trump's campaign manager, national security adviser, foreign affairs adviser and personal lawyer are in jail or awaiting finalization of their trials.

You really have to be an ostrich with his head in the ground to be so clueless not to see what the results of the investigation has brought to the surface.
