Robert Mueller Uncovers Real Collusion

"For nearly two years, since the U.S. intelligence community released its report on the Russian campaign to assist Donald Trump in the 2016 election, the American people have been seeking an answer as to whether the Trump campaign colluded with its Russian counterpart. In the endless speculation about the direction of the investigation, a common view was that maybe the investigation would never implicate President Trump or find any collusion.

But a flurry of recent activity this past week all points in the same direction: Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation will likely implicate the president, his campaign, and his close associates in aiding and abetting a Russian conspiracy against the United States to undermine the 2016 election." -Max Bergmann and Sam Berger, the Daily Beast

Well guys, things just got a lot muddier for the Orange in chief. Robert Mueller released a new report yesterday in which he detailed major connections between the Russian attempt to interfere with the US elections and the Trump campaign itself. Trump aid Roger Stone directed an underling to contact wikileaks about stolen material that Russian hackers nabbed from the Democratic Party. Meanwhile during the election, Trump was negotiating a major business deal in Russia after lying to voters and telling americans he had no business connections to the country. Not only did he have connections but the deal involved even the Kremlin itself, with trump bribing Vladimir Putin with a $50000000 penthouse. Russia knew about the investigation into Trump and helped him cover his tracks, but as a result the Russians took ahold of Trump. With the knowlege that he lied to the American people, Russia could blackmail Trump into supporting them or looking the other way by threatening to release the bombshell info.

The third blow to Trump in the report was the revelation of Trump's replacement of Jeff Sessions in an attempt to halt the Russia investigation, as well as the use of Paul Manafort to spy on Robert Mueller and gain access to information on the investigation, with the promise of a presidential parodon for manafort if he aided the administration. All of this amounts to obstruction of justice.

Finally, it was revealed that Trump indeed broke campaign finance laws by using funds to pay off a model whom Trump had an affair with so she would keep quiet. The sheer amount of bad news this report brought for Trump is groundbreaking, and many now wonder where we will go from here. For more details on the Mueller findings, the link to the original article is at the top of the page.

This is the closest credible source I can find that is discussing anything close to this. Doesn't implicate Trump yet...

I'm not surprised. Nothing will happen, though. Trump is president.

Oh, don't get me wrong, the man is guilty as sin. Trump doesn't have an ounce of integrity in his entire body. Whatever slimy means to win the election were open to him, I have no doubt he took advantage of them.

But the legal system must still be fair. These aren't the Nuremberg military tribunals, and there must be real hard evidence.

I'm pretty sure there's evidence. That's what the Mueller investigation was doing.

Bingo! If the Dems have any sense, they'll drag out the evidentiary hearings before starting the articles of impeachment. They can fill the next two years with increasingly ugly news of the president's collusion with foreign powers.* The GOP senators would like to keep their jobs, and "I support a traitor!" is just not a winning campaign plank. :P

*: It's theoretically possible that Mueller's got nothing, but I don't believe it.

Neither is "I voted to impeach a Republican President"

If Trump is proven to be involved (or at least becomes an open secret, even if they can’t legally prove it), I wonder how that’ll affect the “witch hunt” dynamics in politics.

The way I see it, could go two ways:
A)Since the accusations are proven, the whole thing is tied to reality and doesn’t just become a convient political tool. Or...
B)Since it’s effective, solidified the partisan view (on both sides) that the other side is a threat to the nation and created a precedent that “if a corrupt man can be president, what about the rest of our politicians!?!”, it fuels a perpetual cycle of calling political opponents the next Trump.

Mind you, this is if. I feel like they’ll uncover something, but not enough to justify either party changing its stance (House won’t let it rest, Senate won’t let it pass). I’m just interested in the implications for post-Trump politics

Is doing. And the Democratic House will do. I expect to see rather a lot of detailed evidence starting in January, once the new Congress convenes and the committees start to meet again.

great more years of

"WE GOT HIM THIS TIME!!! LOL TRUMP IS TOAST"

If Trump REALLY was colluding with foreign powers he would not be sitting in the white house, it's been almost 3 YEARS and nothing of real significant has been found

Meanwhile Dems scream "traitor" while they vouch for more state power, open borders and hating America.....great...
