We have been convinced that Trump is an active direct puppet of Putin. It sounds like his whole campaign was a bunch of unscrupulous but incompetent con artists. Normally this would be damning as hell, but we wanted and expected so much more.

It's like thinking you won $100 million on the lottery but find out you only win $1000. Normally you'd be thrilled but you got your hopes too high and can't help but be disappointed.

The Trump camp strategy is to focus the attention on the gap between the report and the wildest prior speculation. Let the story be the the things that weren't found father than the dirt that was found. It's one more way they try to change the topic.

"We have been convinced that Trump is an active direct puppet of Putin. It sounds like his whole campaign was a bunch of unscrupulous but incompetent con artists."

I have never thought Trump was a "direct puppet" of Putin but that there was a ongoing swarm of "unscrupulous but incompetent con artists" that included more than enough crimes to remove Trump and enablers; that there is a difference between Russia as a state actor and Russian opportunists.

"The Trump camp strategy is to focus the attention on the gap between the report and the wildest prior speculation." yep.

Trump alone, and that's the real cause for this cover up that's happening.
Only time will tell.

There one of law, order and
truth? Or the one telling him to follow the orders of a criminal AG who is obstructing justice to protect the criminal squatting in our White House instead of we, the people?

I'm not sure I understand which you're saying.
