re: The timeline doesnt lie. Trump investigation was started AFTER he won the nomination

TIL people in this thread think an insurance policy prevents what it's used to insure against.

They weren't insuring against a Trump win; they were insuring against the factors that would increase the odds of Trump winning to prevent the loss they were trying to prevent, Trump winning.

Think about it. An insurance policy is a minimal amount against a minimal risk to hedge against a disproportionate loss with a disproportionate payout to compensate for that.

In this case, if it was an unethical if not an illegal plot, the insurance payment was anything but minimal. And if it was intended to be a hedge IF Trump won, then they payment itself became a bigger risk and the payout was disproportionately smaller since Trump in power was counter to their personal, Profesional, legal, and political livelihoods.

In other words, Trump winning the election was not only the opposite of that they wanted to prevent, all of the things they would have done to prevent it would put their careers and even freedom (as in jail) at risk. And the only benefit would have been some political inconvenience for Trump.

But instead you're ignoring how illogical this conclusion by trying to make the most literal possible interpretation of some analogustexts between two people that has little context as if people make perfect analogies when texting one another even if illogical. Except of course when people discuss pizza, they must actually be talking in secret code about human trafficking.
