I'm also not sure why the tweets led the story in the OP. It should have been from this link from vox.com, which was posted in the OP, but is the source for all of it:

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/8/3/16084246/mueller-obstruction-case-stronger-trump-surrogates

The real question is how reliable Murray Waas is. He's the actual root source for all of this. I hate having to follow links from Twitter to look at the real source of something. Posters should start from the source, not the tweets about the story.

Murray Waas has been around for quite some time as a journalist. He is well-respected. So, perhaps the story is a valid one. Time will tell.

A while back Louise somebody was tweeting stuff about how Donald was going down any day now.

People here can be awfully willing to believe what they wish were true.

Election collusion with a foreign and hostile country needs to be on the table, that's where we are at epic risk of having our democracy destroyed. If Russia steals the elections in 2018 and 2020 for the R's, we are toast.

KNEW about the interference by Russia long BEFORE the election. Remember McConnell refusing hearings for Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court? He said "The next president will choose the new SC member" He KNEW it would not be Hillary. They are all complicit in this mess, ALL of the gop.

I'm with you! We shouldn't have to settle for obstruction when collusion was done at the party level, not just by Drumpf. I don't want President Pence, I want him Ryan, McConnell, Sessions, Flynn, Manafort, Jared, Don Jr. - to get charged with collusion as well since they were totally in on it and aided and abetted the theft by Russia of the election for their own personal reasons.

However I'm concerned that the PTB will stop there because they want to hide collusion and the huge fall out that would have on all the Drumpf family as well as the Repug party.
