You have to love rolling disclosure. We have gone from Russian interference in the US elections was a "nothing burger" to "No collusion" to "Yes, there may been collusion, but Trump wasn't involved" to ...... [insert next disclosure here]
So the Trump team finally admits there may have been collusion within the campaign. This is a stark contrast to there was "no collusion?..... Of course, rolling disclosure is just that, not the truth, just a step or two ahead or sometimes behind what is generally known about the truth. Rolling disclosure usually means more to follow.
What we can say now is that Team Trump has admitted there may have been collusion, so the statement "no collusion" is henceforth a lie.
Stay tuned.
Collusion is not a crime. Remember when Obama collided on an open mike? He told the ambassador to tell Putin to be patient and that he would have more flexibility after he no longer had to lie, during the campaign. There was no charges brought since collusion is not a crime.
On the other hand, when the Putin and the Russians gave the Clintons $25 million as a donation to the foundation, after Obama and Hillary sold them uranium interests, even this was not pursued, by the left, as collusion being a crime. Maybe the magic number was $26 million, as the litmus test for criminal collusion that involves bribery.
Trump's attempt to build a casino hotel in Russia would have required Trump pay Putin, giving Trump leverage over Putin. The giver of the bribe is in the drivers seat. The receiver of the bribe, like Clinton owe the giver one or two. That is bribery 1.0.
Collusion is a political scam. Although is it not illegal, it is sold as illegal, by the spin factories of fake news. The goal is to impact public opinion for 2020. When Barr becomes AG, the true illegal colluders will be made visible. They were the ones that used KGB style tactics to spy on opposition candidate Trump. Using fake evidence to get a warrant is what Putin would have done in Russia. He may have instructed Obama to copy his KGB style. This was way worse than Nixon and will be traced back to the Obama administration. What did Putin have over Obama and Hillary ,that they would have employed KGB style tactics in the USA?
Remember Judge Kavanaugh and how the left sold the unAmerican concept of guilty until proven innocent. This is also KGB style. Putin is known to use this tactic to silence his opposition. Luckily, the Democrat colluders were not able to alter the American justice system in favor of Putin style.
If you were around during the Cold War, when Russia was the Soviet Union, the Soviets had a propaganda machine that would program its citizen with lopsided and fake news and propaganda. They would not give objective journalists accounts, or show both sides, but the propaganda machine would take one side and make it lopsided in favor of themselves. Fake news is using this soviet template more and more since Trump won. Putin appears to have his claws in the DNC.
The main Soviet censorship body, Glavlit, was employed not only to eliminate any undesirable printed materials (censorship) but also "to ensure that the correct ideological spin was put on every published item" (PC correctt). In the Stalin era, deviation from the dictates of official propaganda was punished by execution and labor camps. In the post-Stalin era, these punitive measures were replaced by punitive psychiatry, prison, denial of work, and loss of citizenship. "Today a man only talks freely to his wife – at night, with the blankets pulled over his head", said writer Isaac Babel privately to a trusted friend.[1]
One can see the Post Stalin influence on the left wing tactics. Anything against their agenda is attacked as racist, bigoted, sexist, homophobic all to silent logical opposition to the propaganda. If you are not a Trump hater, you should be attacked. If you don't accept LGBTQ you need to have your head examined since you have phobia and other mental defects. Putin has leverage over the left. Something bad happened!
