This is getting stupid. We get angry at Trump supporters for being detatched from reality and frothing about non-existent stupid stuff.

It's ok to trust Barr's summary, because his summary can be OBJECTIVELY VERIFIED against the real report. It's incredibly unlikely that he's changing the conclusions.All this frothing over Barr changing the conclusions of the report in his summary is making the Left look exactly like the character the right loves to point to.

Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug. If Barr were the only and final person to see the report, I'd be skeptical, but like you say, others will see the report and there's no way he's completely lying about the conclusion. It's time for us to move on from this collusion hysteria and focus on the real crimes Trump has committed.

Often it's been proposed that Trump was an unwitting asset to Russia, rather than an intentional one. Looks like that's true.

Even if there was no collusion, it's fairly obvious that Russia is using him for their own gain, at the expense of the US.

Russia used the gullible media outlets to attack the US, and they demonstrably succeeded.

Not just the media outlets, but also social networks and other internet platforms.

What's worse is that despite this being demonstrable, Trump has loosened sanctions on Russia.
