    I'll settle for all the ones currently ongoing. More than happy to see Trump go into 2020 as the candidate for Republicans. I want him to be Mr. Republican from now on.

    Wouldn't have it any other way. Going to CONTINUE to enjoy the next six years. A bit concerned about the drop-off in quality cadidates after President Trump. Hopefully Pence steps up for an additional eight but way too early to tell.

    I have to give Trump credit for his talent at circling the wagons and dominating the narrative. The "no collusion" mantra, while a blatant lie, still has carried enough of the day for him to continue his false narrative. That takes some knowhow and a lot of balls. Apparently he has some experience and skill in this area.

    Trump is the result of the establishment fighting the anti-establishment wave sweeping the country. On the right you had shenanigans in 2012 to suppress a revolt in the party. Democrats had their version in 2016 with Bernie. Romney was the establishments choice and they shoved him down our throats and he lost a winnable election against Obama. Hillary was shoved down democrats throats and she lost the easiest election ever.

    That footnote about stopping the flow of tapes from Russia is gonna raise some eyebrows. Mueller put some provocative stuff in the footnotes.

    Interesting that Melanie Bonvicino, the woman acting as a spokeswoman for Rtskhiladze, also lists Donald Trump as a client. Small world.

    Ann Applebaum takes a victory lap.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...=.190cee874efb

    The Mueller report has been published — and I am vindicated.

    But not only me: Everyone who began writing about the weird connections between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and the Russian government in the spring and summer of 2016 is vindicated: Sarah Kendzior, Josh Rogin and Franklin Foer, for example. But, of course, there were many more. As it turns out, the Russian attempts to assist the Trump campaign were deep and broad, and those who described them, even if tentatively at first, were right to do so.

    For me, the turning point was Trump’s decision to hire Paul Manafort, who I knew had spent several previous years supporting pro-Russian political leaders in Ukraine. Manafort was famous for using polarizing campaign tactics and dirty tricks to help his clients win; he helped form the corrupt and lawless world of Ukrainian politics, one in which anything goes — and where, on Sunday, a television comedian is probably going to be elected president. I predicted that Manafort would help Ukrainianize U.S. politics. And he did. The role played in the 2016 campaign by conspiracy theories, disinformation, online troll and bot campaigns, as well as hacked emails — all tactics previously tested by the Russian government in Ukraine and elsewhere in Eastern Europe — was enormous.

    Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III did not, as we know, find a moment when the Trump campaign sat down with representatives of the Russian state so that they could coordinate their tactics in a manner that could be described as illegal. I am not surprised by that finding: I have never thought that Trump functioned as a Russian “agent,” and I have always thought that Trump’s public behavior — things we all could see and hear — was sufficient to disqualify him for the presidency. But if what the president did was not illegal, it was certainly immoral. As David Frum has written, “It’s not a theory but a matter of historical record that Vladimir Putin’s Russia hacked American emails and used them to help elect Trump to the presidency.” It’s also a matter of historical record that Trump campaign officials approved of this interference; indeed, they cheered it on.

    There is a lot inside the Mueller report, and it will all take many weeks to digest. But two things remain unexplained. One is the question of messaging. Why was Trump, all through the latter part of the 2016 campaign, repeating and using slogans that were conceived on Russian state media? Obama “founded ISIS” and Hillary Clinton will cause World War III : These were slogans first used by Sputnik and other Russian sources. We still don’t know how Trump and his campaign happened to use the same conspiracy theories that the Russians were using, or happened to be promoting the same conspiracy theories online. I speculated, at one point, that campaign data might have been shared. And, indeed, Mueller did find exactly that: Manafort and deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates were sharing data with Konstantin Kilimnik, whom the FBI believes to be a Russian intelligence operative: “Gates periodically sent such polling data to Kilimnik during the campaign.” But there is no further information about how that data might have been used — and no explanation of why the online tactics used by the Russian military intelligence agency and the Trump campaign were so similar.

    The second, bigger question concerns Trump’s longer-term, and indeed present-day, relationship with Russia. The president’s business and personal links to Russia and Russians go back many decades, to the Mikhail Gorbachev era, including the Russian money “pouring in,” as Donald Trump Jr. put it, to the family’s U.S. properties. Trump Sr. was praising Putin on CNN as far back as 2013. Trump was working on business deals in Russia — which he lied about, repeatedly — through most of the 2016 campaign, as the Mueller report explains in great detail. Trump’s performance when standing next to the Russian president in Helsinki last July was bizarre: The sight of the U.S. president cringing before the Russian president was shocking. (Watch it again if you’ve forgotten.) His repeated attempts to hold secret talks with Putin, with no U.S. officials present, might not be illegal. But neither are they normal, or acceptable, or comparable to the behavior of any previous American president.

    Trump’s evident fear of Mueller’s investigation and his attempts to obstruct it are now a matter of record. But why was he so afraid, and why did he try to obstruct? Which piece of his past relationship with Russia, or Russians, did he fear might emerge? We still don’t know. And now, it seems, we might never know.

    All that is happening right now is recylcing the same stories we have been hearing for years. This has been done numerous times now in hopes that people think its new.

    Somehow the people still pushing this think they will find something that Mueller couldnt.

    Its sad.
