TRUMPKIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE's a right wing racist, we must burn his house down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!In an editorial published on RealClearPolitics this morning, Jonathan Turley, a nationally recognized legal scholar and law professor at George Washington University, says that Mueller still has not produced any evidence of Trump-Russian collusion. Here's an excerpt:
After 14 months of investigation (and for the second time in a formal indictment), the Justice Department has stated that it is not alleging any knowing collusion between Trump campaign officials or associates and the Russians. Back in February, Mueller handed down his major indictment of 13 Russians for actively interfering with the 2016 election by spreading false information. Both Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein expressly noted that the evidence involved “unwitting” communications with Russians adopting false identities. This indictment shows that same pattern of clearly concealed identities in seeking to hack and distribute email information from the Democratic campaign and its associates.
When I noted at the time of the February indictment that it was strikingly silent on evidence of collusion, some insisted that the indictment did not cover the hacking operation and that Mueller was likely waiting to indict Trump officials colluding on the theft and distribution of the emails. We are still waiting. While the indictment speaks of both a reporter and a Trump campaign associate unwittingly communicating with the Russians, the indictment does not allege knowing collusion. That does not mean that no one colluded on some level, but after 14 months we have yet to see compelling evidence of collusion by Trump or his campaign. (Ignore the spin — still no evidence of Trump collusion)
If you read the whole article, you'll see that Turley is not completely siding with Trump on the matter. He disagrees with Trump's label of "witch hunt" and believes that in many respects Mueller's investigation is serving a legitimate purpose. But Turley also makes the point that so far Mueller has produced zero evidence that Trump or his top aides colluded with the Russians.
