No, I can’t and neither could Mueller and his team after two years of trying to find out, but since there was in actually nothing that was really constitutionally illegal, he had to close his case.
Liberals keep saying that when they can’t find an answer to an annoying question.
That Biden has China and Obama had the Iranians, sure.
Speaking of Joe’s son and brother...

And the question - why hundreds of meetings with Russians? Care to explain it to us?
Weak dodge. He divulged it - saying it didn't happen. They met hundreds of times - then lied and said they didn't. Remember Don Jr and Jared's meeting with the Russian intel operative at Trump Tower - first they denied (didn't happen), then they lied (it was about adoptions)... Just one of hundreds... Hmmmm....
But What About - Thanks for agreeing with me.
Only one was/is business partners with them...are you wearing your Chinese-made Trump tie?

According to the one-sided think tank left, it is.
Trump didn’t ask that either and it’s amazing that the entire main stream media that was so crazily obsessive with trying to report an every single word that Trump said to every single person into every single leader and to leak every single conversation that he had to the press with Biden, The media doesn’t go ask any questions, every question is a softball question for example what kind of ice cream he likes or about his dogs and that’s it, so we don’t know what was said with Biden or with Obama, because the media just will not even try to ask these questions, so we don’t know what was said, but we do know is that these leaders Obama cozied up to the mullahs, Biden cozied up to China those are indisputable facts. All I am saying is if the media will go after Democrats the way they go after conservatives there would be a lot less complaining, but liberals can’t talk a hold of Mic just because they liberals
There’s your logic.

@Bass
False Equivalency! Neither of your examples openly asked a foreign country to help them get elected as president by hacking into their opponents emails then lied about all the communication between foreign operatives, him and his associates to the public and press.
See the logic?
bass4funk
And?
The former President had the absolute constitutional right not divulge his conversation with any former leader especially when he’s not President and even as President his conversations were not subject to public consumption, as with Obama and the Mullah talks or Biden with China. Now if there was proof that Trump engaged....oh, there wasn’t after 2 years 18 lawyers, all Democrat donors, 500 witnesses and 500 subpoenas so there goes that talking point.
Obama had Iran
Biden has China
Ok so basically All US Presidents have powerful world leader friends....

...or Chinese style authoritarianism, even now China was just slamming the crap out of the these delegates and they allowed it, wonder they’re happy with these people in power.
The agencies that tried to drum him out of office....yeah, definitely some deep heartfelt trust issues there.

Investigators have found that Trump and at least 17 of his campaign officials and advisors had more than 100 contacts between Trump associates and Russians, belying the campaign’s November 2016 claim that “there was no communication between the campaign and any foreign entity during the campaign.”

Yep.....the evangelical Christian AKA “right-wing white, fundamentalist Republican" and Putin's communism are too "Peas in a Pod"!

@P.Smith
Not just last year! It also reported Russia helped in the 2016 election!

When he could meet with friendly US officials "hundreds" of time....

It's probably true there are millions in the US who have shown they are anti-American, who prefer Russian style authoritarianism to US democratic systems, who trust reports from the Kremlin instead of those from 'western' intelligence agencies.
bass4funk
They did. You forgot Strzok, Page, Ohr, Comey, McCabe? Of course they did, so I take their reporting with a grain of salt.
Well, millions of us don’t take the intelligence agency seriously.

The short guy called the wrong number. The fat Siberian candidate has moved to Mar-a-Lago.

It does amaze how a Trump lover will prioritize it and everything over belief of such truths as the killings by a Putin autocracy exists.
But then...insurrection and racism was never a Trump thing and he was a great president. LOL.
bass4funk
The same intelligence group that tried to oust a duly elected former President....just can’t make this up.
Or...the people that think the current President has the guts, fortitude or the mental dexterity to deal with an adversary as sly as Putin.
SuperLib
Intelligence agencies: President Trump, here is the evidence showing Russia meddling in our elections.
Trump: But Putin said he didn't do it, and I believe him over you.
bass4funk
How? Lol
Trump is not in office, so once again and besides looking like a fool, what will Biden do? Will he take Putin on his offer or will Biden run his mouth and not take his challenge?
bass4funk
Pure fantasy that continues to fuel the minds of Democrats and helps with their continued Chinese government support, but sadly that tactic is started to fall apart.
SuperLib
Biden: "Putin will pay a price."
Trump: "Every time [Putin] sees me, he said: 'I didn't do that.' And I believe — I really believe — that when he tells me that, he means it."
bass4funk
He won’t even face Putin to take him off his offer because Biden knows he can’t, no shame in it.
Numan
In only two months, Biden has Putin holding his jock strap.
trump looks even weaker than we previously thought by comparison! Biden who is quite average will look like the greatest US president second to only Pres. Obama of this generation.
LOL!

Here's an idea: screw Putin. He's a murdering thug and Russia is (to use the late Senator McCain's term) " A gas station masquerading as a country. "
Russia badly needs the West but has nothing to offer beyond petroleum products, which can be resources elsewhere.
If Putin wants to continue to poison and murder his political opponents and cyber-terror his way across the West, isolate him.
No Davos, no G-8, no summits, no nothing.

And it's not a surprise that most of them are far right Republicans, many of them the sort of 'good people' Trump defended in the 'Unite the right' rally. It's no surprise that Russia's keyboard warrior armies have targeted white nationalist groups and the NRA.
PTownsend
Putin continuing to whatabout and say 'west is worst' just like he learned to do in his Soviet days.
That Russians have supported Trump and his Republicans has been reported by 'western' intelligence for years. It's not surprising pro-authoritarian Republicans continue to believe the Kremlin and global far right media's claims, not those from the 'west'.
