Trump's 2016 campaign eager to accept help from a foreign power, bipartisan report finds

[In It to Win It]

WASHINGTON — In a thousand-page bipartisan report released Tuesday, the Senate Intelligence Committee said the Trump administration obstructed its investigation with "novel claims" of executive privilege. It painted a portrait of a Trump campaign eager to accept help from a foreign power in 2016.

The Senate report, the most detailed account to date of the Trump campaign's embrace of Russian election interference, also asserted that the allegations that Ukraine interfered in the election — which President Donald Trump perpetuated — originated with Russian intelligence agencies.

1. "Eager to accept help."

Why, in certain circumstances, one might even call that "collusion."

3. The bullshit excuse seems to be the Pig and his campaign did not actually collude...

They just tried really hard and failed, due to....?

Ignorance, incompetence and petty venality, I guess.

That distinction is supposed to let them off the hook?

4. But they didn't fail.

Seems they succeeded very well.

5. sometimes, it's hard to break the law...

You can do me a favor but unless I'm with you when you do it, and someone takes my picture, I'm good. If any part of what's going on affects national security, I'm good. Executive privilege makes it good for me too.
