There was never any Trump/Russia collusion...that narrative was first pretext to survail and then pretextual defense to what they knew was coming when it was discovered by the new President.

Something has to justify the wiretapping I guess?

It was the pretext of political opposition research. There was no Russian collusion threat. They were simply looking for info they could use against Trump during the election. For instance, let's say Trump has a side piece. Side piece calls Trump, and then boom, that info gets leaked to the media. It could also be used to collect info on Trump's campaign strategy. If you know what they are going to focus on during public appearances, you prepare your messaging in advance to discredit or disrupt the narrative.

They need to change the narrative back to RUSSIANS in light of the attention the Obama DOJ is getting over these wire taps.

What if Trump was wrong and there were no taps? After watching KAC and The Five today, I get the feeling they are trying to soften Trumps accusation. That combined with Comey, Clapper and maybe one other saying if there was a tap, they would know, and there wasn't one.

I agree...especially when you know 90% of media will fall on your side of the pretextual narrative.

Because you're a close minded dumbass who thinks anyone disagreeing with "Russians" has to be pro Trump.

"Russians" is low hanging fruit as a diversion for the simple minded who can't accept that they lost.

Am I the only one who thinks Loretta Lynch's video was made as a sort of "farewell, I'm going to the slammer" goodbye address?

I think most intelligent people by now have concluded that there was no collusion.

How do you know this? Not saying that statement is incorrect, but what proof is there?

It didn't work because, for all his warts, Trump is an open book.
