   How many think Buzzfeed was fed the dishonest story about Trump committed an impeachable crime?
   For journalist to repeat this story without fact checking is exactly why journalism is dead.
   Where is the apology?
   I will be shocked if anyone of them did apologize.
   TDS is alive and well.

      "TWD" "Trump Worship Disorder" is also prevellet among the last remaining Trump followers as well: Still not sure where you get your info jackclee but it's inaccurate as usual: To my knowledge, The Bombshell Buzzfeed article has yet to be refuted in its entirety and the only individuals who really got "Punked" big-time over the last 2 years are those unfortunate souls who voted for and still follow Bozo trump as he tries desperately to transfer all of our wealth to the filthy rich while sabotaging our healthcare system:
      
      Now that's what you call getting not only "Punked" but ripped off royally, but what else could you expect from a 72 year old who bankrupted casinos? :

      They may have been punked.  As I see it, IF there was collusion, we'd know it by now.  From the start of the investigation I thought if possible that the Trump campaign staff might have colluded, but if so, I believed they wouldn't have told Trump.
      
      A year or so in, it became clear to ME that some solid evidence of such collusion would have been uncovered by that time if it existed. The evidence doesn't exist, though Mueller has uncovered plenty of crimes.

         So the report of Manafort meeting with Russians in Madrid--accidentally released by his lawyers--is not believable to you? This was in a court filing, so what part isn't believable?

            If the report suggested the Manafort met with the Russians for the PURPOSE of sharing polling data, then that would be, IMHO evidence that points to collusion.  I believe collusion has to be intentional to be collusion.

               Why would Manafort "unintentionally" give inside polling data to the foreign powers then?

               Have you ever revealed something to someone casually or innocently, realizing afterwards that said person didn't need to know that?  Something that wasn't directly related to the discussion?  I've done this, many times.
               
               My point again is that there was nothing wrong with Manafort meeting with people from Russia.  However, if the conversation was about "how can you folks from Russia help our campaign", that's a problem for Manafort.  But all we have is a report that polling data was revealed during conversation with Russians - that's not collusion unless Manafort was trying to obtain assistance for Trump's campaign.

   I've always avoided the term TDS but I think it fits, in this instance. I see that even after being rebuked they are doggedly insisting they stand behind the story. I've grown really tired of both sides wanting negativity to be true so badly that they salivate at anything said that supports their hatred, no matter if true, or not.
