The constant GOP mantra that there is no evidence in the Russian conspiracy or Obstruction

of Justice scandal is driving me crazy. Why do the numb nuts who interview these idiots not reply, "How do you know there is no evidence? Mueller and the prosecutors, or any investigative prosecutor worth a damn, would not divulge evidence until the investigation has ended." The fact that there has been indictments and a guilty plea means there is obviously evidence of something.

The Trump stooges that comment in my local paper say that all the time. Sheesh - like Mueller is going to publicly announce every days' findings?

and then they all changed their stories when caught lying. Plus we have had numerous reports of emails between Don JR and Wikileaks, the Trump Tower meeting, emails going back and forth showing that several prominent Trumpers were informed both of Papadopolous' and Page's foreign trips where they met with Russians and revelations that several of them were in the email loop about Flynn discussing sanctions with Kislyak before it was publicly known and while they were all denying anything like that going on.

Then even one piece of evidence will be a scandal. The actual avalanche of evidence with seem overwhelming.

Frankly, they’d be better off acknowledging the evidence and trying to dismiss it somehow. So I’m happy to let them run with a losing strategy.

The fools can’t think two moves ahead. Or even one.

Chant: Nah, nah, nah, I can't hear you, nah, nah, nah.

Fact: Russia hacked our election. Fact: tRump publicly asked Russia to help him. Fact: tRump met with Russians during the campaign. Fact: NRA received millions from Russia which it then passed on to the RNC. Fact: Mueller is reviewing tRump's financial records. On and on it goes.

But this is all circumstantial evidence at best. On the other hand, HER EMAILS!!!

Conspiracy is truth and truth is a lie. We need an army of deprogrammers to handle the millions of Americans who have fallen prey to the GOP.

You’ll also note that the “there hasn’t been any evidence” crowd have absolutely no explanation for why Trump et al keep changing their stories about incidents that could point to collusion with Russians.

How many people (Sessions, Kushner, and Don Jr. to name a few) have denied any contacts with Russians, only to change their stories after they’ve been confronted with the proof of those contacts? And yet the “Trump & Co are guiltless” folks never offer an answer as to why “guiltless” people deny things one day, and admit to them the next day when they’re proven to have lied.

We already KNOW there was collusion... jr's meeting with the russian officials at trump tower, that has been covered extensively, IS collusion.

Full stop.
