Jonathan Turley sums it up just right concerning this so called Senate report.
This was point of interest that I’ve been saying. There is no documents proving Trump campaign colluded with Russian intel agency,none. No email exchange, no text message etc.
Even on the Manafort issue, the Senate never appears to have secured access to encrypted communications between the two men despite the fact that Special Counsel Robert Mueller presumably did have such access before declaring that he found no evidence of knowing collusion between campaign officials and the Russian operation to influence the election. The Senate does not contest that finding and further states that the Steele dossier, which was funded by the Clinton campaign, was a highly dubious product that did not meet the most basic standards for intelligence collection and analysis.
So they’re just speculating that a conversation had occurred.
Another line of interest.
Again and again, I was struck by the gaps in the report which spent over a 1000 pages but contributed little new to the discussion. For example, the Senate indicates that it believes that Trump lied in denying any recollection of speaking to Roger Stone about Wikileaks. That denial also struck me as dubious. Yet, the Senate simply noted that it is clear to the Committee that such a conversation occurred. I was hoping to see new possible interviews of third parties that might support or disprove Trump’s denial. Instead, the report leaves the long-standing allegation as unresolved.
In the end Turley sums it up nicely.
This is why Marx got it right all along — Groucho, not Karl: “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.”

No. You don’t.
The radio may have told you that, but no investigation has said that the FBI colluded to bring down Trump.
What we do know is that during 2016 then Candidate Trump was pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow and his company was making contacts with the Russian government. Trump even went so far as to sign a letter of intent with a bank that was under US sanctions. He did this while running for the office of the President. He was also publicly lying about this activity.
Also during that time, his campaign had a concerted effort to obtain stolen information from a hostile foreign government in order to effect the election. But either through stupidity or bad luck they were unable to do so.
We also know that surrogates of the campaign was in direct contact with foreign intelligence through Guccifer 2.0 and DC leaks to get a heads up about the releases of the stolen information that they failed to obtain.
We also know that the campaign manager was giving internal polling data directly to a hostile foreign intelligence service.
We also know that when they worked really hard to cover this all up.
These used to be bad things.
I guess they aren’t anymore.

One of these days maybe just maybe Trump supporters will understand that the campaign was neck deep in Russian intelligence and oligarchs.
Maybe that is why there was a counterintelligence operation in the first place.
I notice that everything that I laid out before… which is some really sketchy activity for a campaign to be involved in… was not dismissed. Because we all know It is true. And it is bad.
What is being questioned of all things is if Kilimnik is Russian intelligence.
Hint. He is.
