Wrong. While the committee found evidence of Russia trying to interfere with the election, they found no evidence of collusion. From the report: "The committee, however, did not find any evidence of a coordinated scheme between the Trump campaign and Moscow, Rubio said."
This is not accurate.
The Trumpster excuse for Trump’s duplicity has always rested on the legal definition of the word “collusion”, and never on the known facts.
-no one ever denied or could disprove Trump’s near total dependence on Kremlin controlled Russian banks, or the banks Moscow laundered its money through.
-No one ever denied the fact that Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort was in debt to Russian oligarch and FSB paymaster, Oleg Deripashka, to whom he supplied Trump campaign information and polling data. This was used to measure the effectiveness of Russian fake news and the flood of Russian bots on social media.
-The Russians hacked the DNC servers and coordinated its use at crucial moments in the campaign. The Trump campaign maintained plausible deniability by separating Roger Stone from the campaign so he could act as a cutout for the Russians. Julian Assange acted for the FSB.
Finally, for those who still cling to the idea that all this well documented and never refuted evidence is a “Russia hoax”, explain this:
What were Russian intelligence officials doing meeting in Trump campaign headquarters with Trump campaign officials including campaign manager Paul Manafort and Don Jr,?
I have asked that specific question of Trump cultists repeatedly over the years. Trumpster run away from that question every single time.
