The Mueller Report found absolutely NO connection between the Trump campaign and Russia. Nothing, nada, zilch, zero proof of collusion by the Trump people.except that the (R) controlled senate intel committee has put forth 5 volumes of investigations showing that mueller's investigation into russia/trump was so limited in its scope, that there's so much more than what was in his report.
that's not true.
Summary of Major Findings
The redacted Mueller Report documents a series of activities that show strong evidence of collusion. Or, more precisely, it provides significant evidence that Trump Campaign associates coordinated with, cooperated with, encouraged, or gave support to the Russia/WikiLeaks election interference activities. The Report documents the following actions (each of which is analyzed in detail in Part II):
1. Trump was receptive to a Campaign national security adviser’s (George Papadopoulos) pursuit of a back channel to Putin.
2. Kremlin operatives provided the Campaign a preview of the Russian plan to distribute stolen emails.
3. The Trump Campaign chairman and deputy chairman (Paul Manafort and Rick Gates) knowingly shared internal polling data and information on battleground states with a Russian spy; and the Campaign chairman worked with the Russian spy on a pro-Russia “peace” plan for Ukraine.
4. The Trump Campaign chairman periodically shared internal polling data with the Russian spy with the expectation it would be shared with Putin-linked oligarch, Oleg Deripaska.
5. Trump Campaign chairman Manafort expected Trump’s winning the presidency would mean Deripaska would want to use Manafort to advance Deripaska’s interests in the United States and elsewhere.
6. Trump Tower meeting: (1) On receiving an email offering derogatory information on Clinton coming from a Russian government official, Donald Trump Jr. “appears to have accepted that offer;” (2) members of the Campaign discussed the Trump Tower meeting beforehand; (3) Donald Trump Jr. told the Russians during the meeting that Trump could revisit the issue of the Magnitsky Act if elected.
7. A Trump Campaign official told the Special Counsel he “felt obliged to object” to a GOP Platform change on Ukraine because it contradicted Trump’s wishes; however, the investigation did not establish that Gordon was directed by Trump.
8. Russian military hackers may have followed Trump’s July 27, 2016 public statement “Russia if you’re listening …” within hours by targeting Clinton’s personal office for the first time.
9. Trump requested campaign affiliates to get Clinton’s emails, which resulted in an individual apparently acting in coordination with the Campaign claiming to have successfully contacted Russian hackers.
10. The Trump Campaign—and Trump personally—appeared to have advanced knowledge of future WikiLeaks releases.
11. The Trump Campaign coordinated campaign-related public communications based on future WikiLeaks releases.
12. Michael Cohen, on behalf of the Trump Organization, brokered a secret deal for a Trump Tower Moscow project directly involving Putin’s inner circle, at least until June 2016.
13. During the presidential transition, Jared Kushner and Eric Prince engaged in secret back channel communications with Russian agents. (1) Kushner suggested to the Russian Ambassador that they use a secure communication line from within the Russian Embassy to speak with Russian Generals; and (2) Prince and Kushner’s friend Rick Gerson conducted secret back channel meetings with a Putin agent to develop a plan for U.S.-Russian relations.
14. During the presidential transition, in coordination with other members of the Transition Team, Michael Flynn spoke with the Russian Ambassador to prevent a tit for tat Russian response to the Obama administration’s imposition of sanctions for election interference; the Russians agreed not to retaliate saying they wanted a good relationship with the incoming administration.
During the course of 2016, Trump Campaign associates failed to report any of the Russian/WikiLeaks overtures to federal law enforcement, publicly denied any contacts with Russians/WikiLeaks, and actively encouraged the public to doubt that Russia was behind the hacking and distribution of stolen emails.

Senate Intelligence Committee Releases Final Volume of Russian Election Interference Report
By Elliot Setzer
Tuesday, August 18, 2020, 10:29 AM
The Senate Intelligence Committee on Aug. 18 released the final report of its investigation of Russian active measures and interference in the 2016 U.S. election.
The fifth volume focuses on the counterintelligence threat posed by the Russian influence operation, including Paul Manafort’s connections to Russia and Ukraine. The committee concluded that “Manafort’s high level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services… represented a grave counterintelligence threat.”
The committee also “found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president.”
You can read the report here and below. The first, second, third and fourth volumes of the report are available on Lawfare.
Senate Intelligence Committee Releases Final Volume of Russian Election Interference Report
“Mueller concluded his investigation in March 2019. By then he had expended two and a half years of effort, spent 35 million dollars, issued 500 search warrants and 2,800 subpoenas, only to come to the conclusion that there was no evidence of collusion between Trump and the Russians.”
Horowitz, “Blitz”
There never was.
It takes a certain kind of moron to keep beating this terminated equus.
Raise your paw.

Manafort to Forfeit $36 Million
bob made a profit for the gov'ment.
What was active participant in the fraud, the NYTimes, to do when the original plot fell apart????
“…Executive editor Dean Baquet called a crisis meeting of his staff. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the new direction of the Times ’ editorial policy in the wake of Mueller’s exoneration of Trump. The meeting was secretly recorded and a copy of the recording leaked to Slate magazine. According to the leaked transcript, Baquet conceded that for two years the Times had “built our newsroom” around the Trump collusion with Russia story. The story had proved to be a fiction, though Baquet didn’t concede that in so many words. Instead he merely admitted they had been “caught flat-footed.” It was time for a change, he said, and the change—he announced—was to build the newsroom around white racism.”
New York Times Admits 'We Built Our Newsroom' Around Russia Hoax
I must tell you, it warms the cockles of my heart.....whatever that is......to find fools like you soooooooo injured by being proven gullible, that you are still trying to advance what has been proven a lie, and admitted by your elites.
Please continue to provide opportunities for me to smash myriad custard pies in your ugly kisser!!!!
lol ....
i go by the intel committees findings. not the NYT or WSJ for that matter.
The NYTimes is the voice of the DNC.
They gave up.
A real problem of the morons that support the Democrats is that folks like can't cope with the 180° turns the party has to make when the lies are exposed......as in the case of Bill 'the rapist' Clinton: we on the right stated the facts, and now all your elites admit it.....
.....not the low-level morons, like you, who know only one phrase: "Is not, issssssssss nooooottttttttt!!!"
i'm not a (D) so whatever silly little theory you are trying to peddle is moot.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck.....
....it's a duck.
lol........... just cause you are a partisin stooge doesn't mean everybody else is. i've voted for more (R)s than you could eer vote for a (D), goose stepper.
"goose stepper"???
That means 'Nazi".....but the Nazis were Leftists, like you....National Socialist Worker's Party.
The Liberals love to call other folks ‘Nazis,’ and the Nazis called themselves socialists….complete that syllogism.
goose stepper is anybody who locksteps with their dear leader.
hence = you.
