Trump and the White House have denied Russian collusion more than 140 times

<snip>
He crossed his arms.


“I’ll see what happens” in regards to offering testimony to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, he said. “But when they have no collusion and nobody’s found any collusion at any level, it seems unlikely that you’d even have an interview.”

That’s eight denials of collusion in the span of about 20 seconds. Those were, by our count, the 98th, 99th, 100th, 101st, 102nd, 103rd, 104th and 105th denials of collusion with the Russian government that Trump has offered over the course of his presidency. Add in the denials offered by his press secretaries — first Sean Spicer and then Sarah Huckabee Sanders — and you get a grand total of 146 denials of collusion. That’s an average of a denial every 2.4 days of his presidency. A denial every two days since Spicer’s first denials March 20. (Those denials, too, came at a furious pace.)

... that your Campaign, and/or Trump Organization, and/or Manafort/Stone and the Kremlin engaged in.

One involving blatant campaign finance law-breaking ... just for starters.

And felony cyber-crimes, the occurrence of which has been attested to by basically the ENTIRE Intel establishment of the US Government including FBI, CIA, NSA, etc.

And probably involved dozens of acts of felony money-laundering, over the course of DECADES, with the purpose of enriching some of the most murderous and ruthless criminals on the entire planet (i.e. Russian Oligarchy/Mob/Kremlin) ... as well as of course your own felonious inner-circle of racist greed-heads.

And which probably involved some illegal loans your organization and/or co-conspirators received ...

And the unilateral forgiveness of fines and penalties previously levied (after hard-earned victories) against various foreign bank(s) by US Regulatory Agencies ... Banks that ... amazingly ... YOU PERSONALLY owe 100's of Million$ of $$$ to ...

Oh, and dozens of high-profile instances of Obstruction of Justice to attempt to cover-up the above-mentioned crimes.

But yeah ... 'no collusion'. Fine.

Are you fucking happy now?
