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

          Hard evidence, preferably. I’m not interested in hearsay or conspiracy theories. There’s enough of that out there already.

              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.

                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.

                    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)

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

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