The Senate Intelligence Committee released a report on Russian interference in the stolen 2016 Residential election, and the cooperation of criminal Fuhrer Trump* and members of his campaign staff with that interference. So much for “No Collusion”!
IT’S WORTH wondering what the impact might have been had the Senate Intelligence Committee’s final report on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election appeared six months ago, before the report of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and the twisted account of it provided by Attorney General William P. Barr. On their own terms, the Senate’s findings, released Tuesday after a bipartisan investigation, are explosive: that then-candidate Donald Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort “formed a close and lasting relationship” with “a Russian intelligence officer,” with whom he shared inside information from the president’s campaign and collaborated to concoct a false narrative that Ukraine, and not Russia, was behind the election interference.
Further, the Senate report states that the Trump campaign “sought to maximize” the impact of leaks of Democratic documents by WikiLeaks, knowing the original source was the Russian military intelligence agency, GRU. The campaign’s intermediary was Roger Stone, whose prison sentence for lying about his involvement and tampering with witnesses was commuted last month by Mr. Trump; the president, the committee “assesses,” lied when he said he never talked to Mr. Stone about WikiLeaks.
Then there is what the Senate investigators glimpsed but could not nail down. The report cites “fragmentary” evidence that Mr. Manafort’s Russian associate Konstantin Kilimnik “may have been connected to the GRU’s hack and leak operation,” and two pieces of information linking the campaign chairman himself. The full truth is unknown in part because Mr. Manafort chose to incur an extended prison sentence rather than tell prosecutors the truth about his relationship with the Russian spy.
It is a sad tribute to Mr. Trump’s skill at obfuscation and disinformation that these revelations will likely be ignored by many voters already sated by conflicting accounts of what the president calls the “Russian hoax.” He did it again Tuesday, and on cue, his Senate sycophants — including, contemptibly, the acting Intelligence Committee chairman, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) — rushed to assert that the report shows “no collusion” between Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign and the regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
That may be true, in the narrow sense of a criminal conspiracy. Yet the report leaves no doubt that, on instructions of Mr. Putin, Russian intelligence sought to aid Mr. Trump’s election; that Mr. Trump and his campaign welcomed and sought to exploit that aid; and that the president, Mr. Manafort, Mr. Stone and several other key campaign officials then lied about the affair… [emphasis added]

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Lying under oath! Talk about being a traitor…he is it.
dt is a nauseating sychophant to Putin, and genuflects daily to him.
He makes me ill.
Joe described him well, as dt being..’a useful idiot’.
I agree that the most important thing about it is that Republicans found it. AND THEY STILL VOTED TO ACQUIT !!!!
Putin is just being Putin. Trump is just being Trump.
Republican Senators are betraying, not just their constituents, but their very country.
Despicable that they release this report that come out with this information that shows tRump and his double R’s (russians and repugs), all were doing illegal acts to purposely make him win the 2016 election.
What more do they need to see that he and his gang members all have lied under oath? They all should be prosecuted.
Otherwise it sure makes you wonder what our country has turned into with the way it’s allowed tRump to get away with all of this?
I can’t wait till November’s election.
What else is new? Trump, and with McConnell’s knowledge, did what he does in golf, cheat. The Repugs could not care less. Did they care when St.Reagan committed treason in colluding with Iran, before that election?
As Claire McCaskill said: If this report had come out at any other time, it would have blown the top off Washinton DC.
And now it’ll be forgotten by tomorrow, with his base declaring it another hoax.
Thanks, Hugs, and Amen to all!
