Folks, remember that just last week the GrOPer-in-Chief will telling everyone that Russian interference into the elections was a "hoax" perpetrated by Democrats as an excuse for losing the election. Now the story is that the fact that no Trump campaign officials were indicted yesterday somehow exonerates him. Remember also that Trump Jr, after being told that some Russians could offer him dirt on Hillary as part of the Russian Government's efforts to support the Trump campaign replied with an, "I love it." That, folks, IS a conspiracy to collude with a foreign Government to subvert American elections. We're not done yet. Not by a longshot. Remember that Trump Jr email in the context of yesterday's indictment. Trump Jr DID know he was meeting with Russians

The collaboration between the Trump campaign and Russians is deep and wide. It's all going to come out.
Notice how Trump's story keeps changing? He's a liar. Accordingly, it's generally safest to assume that no matter what he says, the opposite is the truth.
He really is an idiot because he thinks that everyone will believe his bullshit.
As Robert Mueller and his team climb the ladder of Trump's criminality, I am hopeful that he will expose all of those in the GOP who aided and abetted these attacks on our country. Yesterday's indictments set the stage to start the climb into Trump's campaign.

And the campaign was not unwitting. Those on its staff who were engaged in direct discussions with Kremlin representatives were not low-level grassroots organizers, but included the then campaign manager, Paul Manafort, a veteran of five presidential campaigns, and the presidents own son-in law - interesting, Bauer doesn't use Ivanka's husbands name (so I won't either)
