It'S OFFICIAL: MUELLER HAS IDENTIFIED COLLUSION

https://themoscowproject.org/dispatch/its-official-mueller-has-identified-collusion/

Mueller’s indictments and guilty pleas alone demonstrate that there was collusion between the Trump team, WikiLeaks, and the Kremlin. As we wrote earlier this year, the hack and release of emails is a textbook study in collusion:

Russia stole the emails and alerted the Trump campaign that they had done so.
Russia gave those emails to WikiLeaks.
Corsi got information on how WikiLeaks planned to use the emails and passed it to Stone, who he knew was in regular contact with the Trump campaign.
In other words: Mueller has identified the conspiracy that facilitated collusion.

********



Nance:
The Russians sent Manafort to the Trump campaign in order to act as a go between Wikileaks so Russia could
steal an election for Trump. (rough quote)

This goes to the heart of and it has the data needed for an informed person to know that Trump was working with Russia. If you link in Trumps words at the time, the evidence is pretty clear.

So this may not be "Official" as in Trump is being led to prison as we speak. It is definitely Official as in a clear line can be drawn now and anyone who discounts Trumps treason is being rather twisty with details. It is definitely Official in being the sort of news that conservative and Russian sock puppets will try to discount.

ABOUT THE MOSCOW PROJECT

The Moscow Project is an initiative of the Center for American Progress Action Fund dedicated to analyzing the facts behind Trump’s collusion with Russia and communicating the findings to the public. The Moscow Project’s team employs a multi-disciplinary approach towards its work, leveraging a unique combination of experience and expertise gained on Capitol Hill, at the State Department, and in private industry to examine this complex and sprawling series of events stretching back decades.

I never thought when the evidence of a collusion conspiracy was rock solid there would be an argument whether the report is click-bait or not.

Big news today about Cohen pleading guilty in court. I don't need to see anything in writing to know that Cohen has a shithouse full of dirt on Trump.

The slower everything proceeds the closer Trump comes to a nervous breakdown. Mueller has the best prosecutors in the world, Trump's rinky dink lawyers are no match. No respectable lawyer is going to sign on to defend a traitor, er.. other than maybe Dershowich.

Mueller has evidence that Stone was in “regular contact” with Trump and “senior members of the Trump campaign,” which suggests Stone was passing information to Trump and his inner circle.
Stone tasked Corsi to contact WikiLeaks about the stolen emails they received from Russia that could damage the Clinton campaign. Corsi and Stone were the conduits between WikiLeaks and the Trump team.
Through his intermediary Ted Malloch, Corsi contacted WikiLeaks about the stolen emails and then passed Stone advance information about the emails, information Stone could then pass to the Trump campaign.
The emails between Corsi and Stone show they knew WikiLeaks “possessed information that would be damaging to then-candidate Hillary Clinton and that Organization 1 [WikiLeaks] planned to release damaging information in October 2016.”

My one hope though is that when we regain the Whitehouse (and we will eventually) that the new President and head of the DOJ shows zero mercy about investigating and prosecuting anyone involved.

I think the proof required to prove that there is a traitor as president will require the PEE VIDEO. I do not think the people who voted for the IDIOT can read the facts for themselves. I think they have to be told in very simple means so the information can be digested in their little dinosaur brains. I mean 50 million people voted republican who think the CONS are doing something for them. I do not think the GM people will be voting "R" in the near future......
