    No Evidence Of (Trump+Russia) Collusion, ‘Politico’ Reports

    https://www.inquisitr.com/5123673/mu...tico-evidence/

    After two years of extensive news coverage depicting an elaborate conspiracy and coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign, Robert Mueller’s investigation has amounted to nothing, Politico reports.

    That’s the word POLITICO got from defense lawyers working on the Russia probe and more than 15 former government officials with investigation experience spanning Watergate to the 2016 election case. The public, they say, shouldn’t expect a comprehensive and presidency-wrecking account of Kremlin meddling and alleged obstruction of justice by Trump — not to mention an explanation of the myriad subplots that have bedeviled lawmakers, journalists and amateur Mueller sleuths.

    Perhaps most unsatisfying: Mueller’s findings may never even see the light of day.

    “That’s just the way this works,” said John Q. Barrett, a former associate counsel who worked under independent counsel Lawrence Walsh during the Reagan-era investigation into secret U.S. arms sales to Iran. “Mueller is a criminal investigator. He’s not government oversight, and he’s not a historian.”

    All of this may sound like a buzzkill after two years of intense news coverage depicting a potential conspiracy between the Kremlin and Trump’s campaign, plus the scores of tweets from the White House condemning the Mueller probe as a “witch hunt.”

    K. I'm totally likely to believe the defense team.

    That is not at all what Politico reported. The article linked says nothing to that effect at all. What it suggests is that, based on history, people shouldn't be setting their expectations.

    Conservative narratives don't have to be predicated on lies. This is a choice you make. Make better choices.

    @MoDs - can we please close this ridiculous thread? Burner account posting lies? Not ideal for discussion.

    You also don't cut deals with people when you have them dead to rights unless you're going to bring something big down the line.

    Goes to show it was a witch hunt all along.

    "Trump says Trump is innocent and Mueller has found nothing."

    Is ANYONE even slightly surprised?

    They are still going with it. Pretty sure they will have to conclude the investigation first.

    I like how he puts politico in the title but doesn't link the politico article but instead link one that suggests something that the politico article is not saying.

    Literally what we are being told by politico is it is a complex political game where we may never know what the report says. It does not suggest that there was no collusion.

    Even the politico article doesn't say what the title says - Mods please close.

    But, if we're going to continue with this farce, here is a new story telling of a Russian woman with government/oligarch ties indicted for election interference.

    Whoops.

    Meanwhile, Mueller plans to go forward with his findings sometime after the midterms . . . so he probably has something.

    As for there being no evidence? Funny how people in Trump's campaign keep getting arrested. Must be all coffee boys.

    Or...you could go to Politico, read the article, and discover for yourself that the thread title is simply not true at all.

    I don't just talk. I also take the time to enjoy the tears of conservatives that lash out because they get called out on their lying bullshit. So delicious.

    Irrelevant, just like during the Kavanaugh trial, no evidence at all, but she said it happened so he has been forever branded a rapist. The left will never give up the witch hunt, because they don't like Trump. They don't care what happens in the process.

    Don't want to discuss the #witchhunt? Where is the collusion exactly?
