Trump Twitter rants 'NO COLLUSION BETWEEN TRUMP AND RUSSIA!' to kick off Sunday morning

President Donald Trump was off and running early Sunday morning, once again proclaiming his innocence in a Twitter rant about Russia by citing a source that is not special counsel Robert Mueller.

According to Trump: “Senator Richard Burr, The Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, just announced that after almost two years, more than two hundred interviews, and thousands of documents, they have found NO COLLUSION BETWEEN TRUMP AND RUSSIA! Is anybody really surprised by this?”

You can see the tweet below:

Collusion is a bullshit pubican aside. There is no collusion in law.

What trump and the entire traitor gop are doing is CONSPIRACY. TREASON.

18 U.S. Code § 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/953

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 744; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(K), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)

18 U.S. Code § 2381. Treason
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2381

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)

Do you suppose he is trying to convince us or himself that he did not collude with the Russians? Innocent people do not put so much time and energy into their denials.

it is pathetic to watch. His fear is palpable. Until now, I think he has only been afraid of being broke, now he could be broke and in prison. He's never had to suffer the consequences of his corruption before and it is dawning on him that it really could happen.

COLLUSION IN PLAIN SIGHT

37 Indictments.
7 Guilty Pleas.
100+ Contacts.

If we can all see proof like this we can only imagine what Bob Mueller must have.

THE STONE INDICTMENT SHOWS THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN DIRECTED COLLUSION

https://themoscowproject.org/dispatch/the-stone-indictment-shows-the-trump-campaign-directed-collusion/

It has always been clear that Trump ran the Trump campaign—he was completely in control of his campaign team. The Stone indictment is the latest in a long string of indictments linked to Trump campaign associates, but it is the first to show such a clear top-down direction of collusive activity.

in October of 2016. He was on tRump's side. Why would he find any different. He's just a little more low keyed and not as obvious as Nunes...

IMO was a great person and larger than life.

He believed a person should return all their wealth to others during their lifetime. He was altruistic.

Yes, I would believe Raymond Burr.

...Would he say that to Mueller under oath, absolutely not. That's why he's so scared to be answering anything under oath, he's a corrupt criminal connected with the Russian mob, and putin . Only a guilty person is so desperate to project the opposite of the truth, he's guilty. Just think of how many things he's claimed that was the opposite of the truth. A hint,, almost everything.

Schiff vows to continue investigation into Trump finances, Russia links

Schiff, D-Calif., charged late last year that Trump's financial records with Deutsche Bank and Russia might reveal a "form of compromise" that "needs to be exposed." Schiff has long maintained that there had to be some reason that the German banking giant, which has what he called a "history of laundering Russian money," was willing to work with the Trump Organization

After all, what else does he have to do? Not as though he is supposed to be in charge of the country, or anything of that sort. Maybe he could arrange to eat a healthy breakfast with Maleria and her son? I imagine her parents have to be with her, for protection.

a co-worker who got the job with a forged resume, and spends all day on non-productive busy work, just to look busy and hide the fact he has no idea what the job really entails, and spends every opportunity big noting himself, while, living in fear his fake resume will not stand up to close scrutiny.

Such is Trump.
He fills his days with trivial stuff to avoid the hard bits of the job. The constant stream of 'It was not me, I did not do it!' tweets are getting tedious and sounding more desperate as time goes by. Mueller will never reply with 'Yeah, I believe you bro!'.

Let's be honest. Twitter rants, throwing insults around, watching TV, telling everyone how important you are, eating junk food - anyone can do that!
Identifying important aspects of the job, a job that only a President can do, and getting to grips with that, is beyond Trump.

Every organisation has it's 'dead wood', the seat warmers, and they are often tolerated out of sympathy or convenience - but the most important job in the world can't be allowed to be filled by someone incompetent.
Trump needs to go, and the rot in the political system that led to him landing the top job, needs to be surgically exorcised from the American system of government.
