    The Senate Intelligence report on Russian election interference details Russian manipulation and misinformation regarding the 2016 election and Trump’s involvement. Volume 5 is well worth at least skimming. When you look at the evidence it is clear that the following excerpt is accurate:

    The Committee’s bipartisan Report unambiguously shows that members of the Trump Campaign cooperated with Russian efforts to get Trump elected. It recounts efforts by Trump and his team to obtain dirt on their opponent from operatives acting on behalf of the Russian government. It reveals the extraordinary lengths by which Trump and his associates actively_sought to enable the Russian interference operation by amplifying its electoral impact and rewarding its perpetrators - even after being warned of its Russian origins. And it presents, for the first time, concerning evidence that the head of the Trump Campaign was directly connected to the Russian meddling through his communications with an individual found to be a Russian intelligence officer.

    That is the Democrat’s conclusion and it overwhelmingly supported by the details in the report. The GOP members pretend it’s all a misunderstanding and an attempt by Trump to improve relations.

    IMO the only reason Trump and his organization weren’t found to be illegally colluding with Russia is that the GOP chose party over country yet again. Republicans are willing to commit insurrection, treason and burn the country to the ground to maintain power.
