Who are you speaking of when you say "we"? Do you represent some group or organization in an official capacity or are you just speaking for yourself? Explain why a special prosecutor or Congressional committee are obligated to provide you with classified or secret data? Do you believe it is normal or routine for these folks to provide this kind of data during an ongoing investigation to the general public or anonymous message board posters?All we have are statements from the media. We have no actual evidence of collusion or hacking.It has been provided numerous times in this thread. You just deny it is evidence. How many times does it have to be posted? How many links do you need? You are really demanding "smoking gun" evidence. Smoking gun evidence is rare and cases are prosecuted without that kind of evidence every day. Smoking gun evidence can be a subjective term. An email or communications intercept revealing an attempt or agreement to brief Russian sources by a campaign official may be considered smoking gun evidence. That is what Manafort is accused of doing and what it appears the prosecutor has evidence to prove.What evidence is his base refusing to acknowledge? Please, provide the evidence in question.Trump's base will refuse to acknowledge evidence, no matter what. Like he said, he could shoot someone in Times Square and it would not make a difference to his base. His base will not be on the grand jury or the trial juries of his associates. Rational people will probably be on those juries. Rational people will recognize evidence when they see it.
If you are sitting on a jury and the prosecutor shows evidence of an agreement or attempt to an agreement to meet with and brief or disclose campaign strategic information to a foreign government that is suspected of trying to interfere with an election it is fair to assume that that evidence will influence your judgement that collusion or an attempt at collusion has occurred. Hence, the information provided by the prosecutor is evidence.
The email was never shown, it was merely stated that one existed. That's not evidence. If it is, I can tell you that I have an email from Hillary praising Satan.
No evidence was shown, it was merely stated that it exists, which isn't the same thing. If you have the email, feel free to show it to me.
