No collusion/conspiracy with Russia

By him or "anyone associated with the campaign".

This is incredible to me.

At the risk of repeating myself:


Manafort shared Trump polling data with Ukrainian associate during 2016 campaign

Paul Manafort shared polling data on Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign with a Ukrainian associate who has ties to Russian intelligence, and also met with the colleague in Madrid while working on the presidential campaign, according to a court filing from Manafort’s lawyers published Tuesday.

1. The only way I can see that is true, is if "conspiracy/collusion" is deemed more than encouraging

Russia to find whatever dirt they can. That's different from saying, we want to work with you and are willing to pay you -- in kind with favor in the future -- if you help us win. I think the latter happened if only by a wink and nod, but it's really hard to prove.

The meeting clearly happened, but I'm not sure there was any evidence that trump's aides conspired with Russia. I also think the air went out of the meeting evidence when it was acknowledged a few weeks ago that the phone calls after the meeting -- to an unidentified number -- was not to trump.

Clearly trump -- and his team -- were unethical, immoral, likely illegal in this matter and should have walked away from Russia long ago.

Whole thing sucks and we need to concentrate on judging trump and GOPers in November 2020.

2. Absurd! I don't believe that bullshit for a moment.

We haven't seen the report. Why are people making these statements?
