Guess what? In this case you’re innocent until proven guilty. Millions of dollars, over 2 and half years and Mueller couldn’t find enough.
Mueller couldn’t find enough because the he was required to meet a standard of beyond a reasonable doubt. That’s a legal standard, and we apply it because we value freedom of the innocent over punishing the guilty. That has absolutely nothing to do with this conversation.
You are accusing the media of not having enough to justify its claims. That’s about logic, and you can’t make the case on those grounds which is why you resort to this obfuscation.
The “mainstream” claim is not that Trump and Putin met regularly where Trump received his orders. The claim is that his campaign understood that Russia was working on their behalf, welcomed it, and did everything they could to amplify the results of Russia’s efforts. That’s not deniable. It’s also not deniable that Trump has some sort of affliction towards Russia, and whether wittingly or unwittingly, he absolutely helped Russia achieve many of its foreign policy goals in a way Putin never dreamed would become actualized reality.
It’s hard to care about something if nothing illegal was done. Cause guess what? That’s what Mueller said.
Mueller was running a federal investigation, so *his* concern, as the head of this investigation and person whose name would be on the final report was the legalality or illegality that could be proven in a court of law. Everything else was just politics, which he viewed as his responsibility to stay out of.
The idea that we shouldn’t care about it if it’s legal is absurd, and you would not accept that it for a second if we were talking about Biden, Obama, or Hillary and you know it.
