No evidence of Trump 'collusion' with Russia as media shift focus

Howard Kurtz
By Howard Kurtz Published May 24, 2017 Fox News

The headline in the Washington Examiner was rather eye-catching:

“At This Rate, It Won’t Matter If Trump Colluded with Russia.”

Huh! Won’t matter? Hasn’t that been the subject of a huge swath of media coverage for many months now? . . .


Kurtz gets it and is about as balanced as you'll get. Most (reasonably sane) people get this too.

And what will the narrative become once the "cover up" allegations fall flat as well?

It's obvious that the leftist elite have just recently completely given up on the idea that Trump was complicit in anything the Russians might have tried. You can sense their current pivot to "obstruction". I think the playbook is telling them to keep a lower profile for a little while and rely on their friends in the media to slander Trump's character.

So now their play is to impeach him for saying something about an obvious contrived hatchet job?

Well then you have several fake partial scandals which basically equal one massive legitimate scandal when combined. Aka a threat to democracy and our country's values.

The left will probably resort to tying any and all deaths to Trump and claiming there is a pedophile ring he is involved in in the basement of a pizza joint where they play ping pong....that is what most of the right did after they failed to find a there there in Benghazi or in the email server...and the former took about 4 years....

No they definitely found a there there on both accounts (outright official lies about a hurtful video released, denial of adequate protection, and classified emails on personal servers and computers). An FBI director overstepped his bounds and made a prosecutorial decision based on "intent" and not the rule of law.

The differences between the situations you have mentioned are the differences between circumstatial and verifiable evidence. I would further state that the time tables of the various investigations have been largely influenced by political climate and biased media coverage dampening or stoking the flames.
