      Ultimately, the investigation did not establish that the Campaign coordinated or conspired with the Russian government in its election-interference activities. (p. 181)

      Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him. (p. 214)

      This is literally the definition of “inconclusive evidence”.

        Not coordinated doesn’t mean Russians didn’t influence, which is the topic discussed…

          I still don’t see how that makes them more dangerous to Americans than violent foreign gangs. MS-13 are known to chop people up with machetes, the US government generally is not, no matter who’s president. Sure, they certainly have the means to be a massive pain in the butt, but unless you’re convicted first degree murder or threaten the police with a deadly weapon, they’ll generally leave you alive and with all your limbs intact.

              Could you be more precise? Because I don’t really have a problem with foreign criminal gang members getting deported, especially if they came here illegally in the first place. No country has an obligation to harbor criminal aliens within their borders.

        Were these my claims?

        Bad faith. Go the fuck away,l. I’ve humored asswipes like you one too many times and I’ll be damned if I have to play chess with a fucking pigeon ever again.

          I firmly believe, and the evidence supports, Russia has deployed a widespread disinformation campaign against America and has infiltrated the highest levels of government.

          I mean. Yeah. They were.

            Bird brain, here are my claims and here are the excerpts cheese boy posted. Tell me what he’s refuted.

            Claim(s):

            Russia has deployed a widespread disinformation campaign against America

            (Russia) has infiltrated the highest levels of government.

            Excerpt(s):

            Ultimately, the investigation did not establish that the Campaign coordinated or conspired with the Russian government in its election-interference activities. (p. 181)

              Right, so… I’m going to stop you right here. The moment you opened with your little schoolyard insult- I stopped reading and checked your comment history.

              Because who you are is a direct image projected by what you say. And I like to know who I’m talking to.

              Apparently, you’re a child.

              I don’t discuss adult topics with children.

              If you want to be taken seriously, learn to have serious discussions and stop acting like a fucking clown.

                  Your honor, I preset, Exhibit A:

                  You’re a fucking clown and lean on fucking decorm because you don’t have the capacity to challenge real ideas.

            TBF, the report DID find some evidence of these things, just not enough to be meaningfully prosecutable.

              You asked for evidence.

              Then you disputed the evidence presented.

              Then you admit that there was evidence but not enough to prosecute. That was the same evidence you just disputed.

              Seems like you won’t be satisfied with anything other than your preconceived beliefs.

              People were tried and convicted. You would know this if read the thing and didn’t read bill bars one page deflection and ctrl-s the bullshit you wanted to find.

                  Exactly, because they were compromised. They could not answer those questions because they would incriminate themselves.

                  Or worse (better depending on whos asking) trump.

                  Edit:

                  If you can read the muller report and walk away this incredulous you either:

                  1. Haven’t read it

                  2. Aren’t interested in the truth.

                    Look, you asked which of these threats Americans should be more worried about, and I’d be more worried about armed criminal gang members than some spooks in Washington, because the former could pose a direct and immediate threat to my life.

                    Even if you’re an illegal and worried about ICE, the worst they’ll do is deport you and send you to an El Salvadorean prison, but at least you’ll still get there in one piece. MS-13 will chop you up with a machete if you cross them.
