My total lack of evidence proves my case!
Senate Republicans havent yet said how they plan to handle President Trumps trial, but on Wednesday they gave us some clues.
Sens. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Ted Cruz (Tex.) and others brought in the Justice Departments inspector general, Michael Horowitz, to ask him about his report on the FBIs 2016 probe of the Trump campaign, which delivered unwelcome news for the conspiracy crowd.
The report found serious errors, worrisome abuses and dubious policies, but it also found that investigators didnt tap Trumps phones, plant an informant at his campaign, entrap his advisers or execute any of the other conspiracy theories Trump and his defenders floated. To the contrary, Horowitz found no evidence of political bias and concluded that the probe had a legitimate purpose and factual, legal basis.
So Republicans settled on a creative approach: They simply disregarded Horowitzs findings.

That's right. The Mueller Report, that detailed 272 Trump campaign contacts with Russian assets, the Horowitz Report showing the Feds had legitimate grounds for investigation, the public confessions of the President and his cronies, the 35 indictments and the five (so far) prison sentences handed down.
Ad it all up using Republican math, and it equals total exoneration for Trump.
Obstruction and conspiracies work, if you have enough soldiers willing to take a bullet for the Leader.
