Expert Identifies Strong Evidence of Trump Russia Collusion In Mueller Report

From the article:

Ryan Goodman, former Special Counsel for the Department of Defense and co-editor-in-chief of Just Security, wrote Monday that Volume One of the redacted Mueller report “identifies key findings of collusion (not just crimes).”...

“The redacted Mueller Report documents a series of activities that show strong evidence of collusion. Or, more precisely, it provides significant evidence that Trump Campaign associates coordinated with, cooperated with, encouraged, or gave support to the Russia/WikiLeaks election interference activities. The Report documents the following actions (each of which is analyzed in detail in Part II),” Goodman writes, before listing those actions.
In his second section of analysis, Goodman lays it out:...….

Goodman explains that one reason the report can’t prove criminal collusion (conspiracy) is many of the people involved, including the president himself, refused to give information, deleted evidence, lied to investigators, and obstructed the investigation.

The Report states, “Even when individuals testified or agreed to be interviewed, they sometimes provided information that was false or incomplete.”

The current leaders of the GOP, of course, will deny that there is any evidence of anything, and the GOP Senators will simply refuse to do their duty.

It is the responsibility of the House to investigate, and possibly impeach, but just as critical is that the investigations reveal to the voters just how thoroughly corrupt this President is.

And it is the responsibility of the corporate media to cover this issue rather than engage in endless speculation about the likely Democratic candidate for 2020.

And the fact that many of the key conspirators lied about their actions.

My view is that the various state level investigations will help to make the case for criminal conspiracy in a number of areas.

or destroying evidence,has been a past operational theme of anyone who is associated with the Trump Crime Syndicate.

Funny how all those business Records that were stored in a Jersey Warehouse were suddenly destroyed by a broken Fire Sprinkler System when the IRS and New York State Investigator's showed up on scene.

And yes, it is obvious that the Trump family is a criminal enterprise.

Obvious to everyone but the average, red hat wearing, GOP voter.

the Truth hits these folks smack dab in the Face daily and they still do not care. The Stockholm Syndrome is a bitch to overcome.

Why do Religions stay relevant in today's America,because people are needing a Crutch as well as a Social likeness to pacify their insecurities. Same for the hate filled and ignorant that follow Trump or for the most part,the Rethug Party as a whole.

Trump, for all that he is an ignorant, uneducated fool, understands the power that racism and fear have to divide people.

agree - it's pretty obvious from what is in the report that they worked with Russia, or people with ties to the Russian government.

And part of the reason is that Trump and his fellow criminals lied about everything.
