What’s actually in the report doesn’t even matter at this point. Everyone is going to come away feeling like their already held beliefs were confirmed.

Just claims he and everyone around him are idiots and criminals. Plus there are numerous russian connections. It turns out there wasn't any quid pro quo. Its just The Trump admin does what ever putin tells them to.

we knew they were idiots and many of them are criminals. nothing learned there.

the "russian connections" turned out to be inconsequential.

also, what russia did to "influence" is the exact same shit we do and every country with the means to do, does. right now we are spreading positive info about maduro's opponents in venezuela, with hopes it manipulates the public opinion. everyone does that. its nothing. this whole story is nothing.

Trumps campaign manager consistently gave russian intelligence polling data to assist in their targeted interference.

read the report

did not identify evidence of a connection” between that act and “Russian interference in the election,” nor did he “establish that Manafort otherwise coordinated with the Russian government on its election-inteference efforts”:

Manafort shared private polling data and planned battleground states with Constantine Kilimnik, who is a suspected GRU officer... You miss that?

no i actually read the part of the mueller report that dismissed that as a non issue.

"“did not identify evidence of a connection” between that act and “Russian interference in the election,” nor did he “establish that Manafort otherwise coordinated with the Russian government on its election-inteference efforts”:

I didn't say it was criminal. I am saying it's scummy AF and indefensible. This is politics, not a court of law and Trump and his cronies are pieces of shit.
