Your words are that “even in terms of contacts w/ Russians, there was nothing ‘minor corrupt’ about them.” I infer that you deem those “contacts with Russians” to be what, “major corrupt”? hence... criminal. My point is that Chomsky is right - at best, they were minor corrupt. pic.twitter.com/lE1D03pmJu

Right, because “contacts with Russians” — even if they yield a grand total of zero conspiracy charges, and only minor charges, if any at all — are criminal, according to the fashionable Russophobia.

Did you know Russia invented the practice of creating false assumptions and then convincing people to believe them in order to foster desired outcomes? I read this in the NYT. They also invented blackmail! Nobody in history thought to do any of this before the Ruskies did it: 🇷🇺 twitter.com/NoahSneider/st…

There were so many times to see the conspiracy was false. Morell & Clapper both said early on there was no evidence. The Stone indictment proved they had no idea what WL had. @aaronjmate interviewed @lukeharding1968 about his "COLLUSION" book & he couldn't identify any evidence.

2/ Reading this account, one almost starts to feel sorry for the Mueller team, who began believing they'd find a conspiracy. They ended with one last desperate hope: the crazed, elderly conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi. They threatened him with prosecution & still came up empty. pic.twitter.com/0Q8iy8qReH

4/ So if we have Comey denying it, and Mueller making no reference to any "repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials" by Trump aides or associates, how can the NYT not revisit this story, at minimum? (if not outright retract it).

3/ That's quite the claim! But now, in his exhaustive review of Trump-Russia links, Mueller makes zero mention of it. And we already know -- which, to its credit, NYT acknowledged -- that Comey denied this story under oath: "in the main, it was not true." nytimes.com/2017/06/08/us/… pic.twitter.com/xRGmX3OPUp

2/ This article claims that: "Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of... Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign" - including Manafort "and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election." pic.twitter.com/nb475Rnqhm

1/ Post-Mueller, many stories worthy of renewed scrutiny and/or retraction, following Buzzfeed's lead (buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…). Let's start w/ @nytmike @MarkMazzettiNYT @mattapuzzo: "Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence" nytimes.com/2017/02/14/us/…

hey Marcy -- if you've actually read the report, please don't pretend that it doesn't destroy the conspiracy theory that you've promoted for 2 years. Dare I say it makes you look even more stupid (if that's possible). pic.twitter.com/ikiznEcbS3

.@MaxBlumenthal's new book The Management of Savagery is must-read stuff. But if you can't read it yet watch this interview. It's a totally different and necessary perspective on the current crisis and wars. youtu.be/rGpjIeQ3I98

Lev Golinkin: Zelensky’s victory in Ukraine is a rebuke to the failed Maidan project pushed by Washington’s foreign policy elite. It is a rejection of the corruption, economic ruin and fascist revanchism embodied by the West’s man in Kiev. thenation.com/article/ukrain…

What happened to Schiff's "more than circumstantial evidence of collusion"? The American people know you said that. Which is why you're now trying to move the goalposts to not "seek Russian help" (but everyone else is okay) & "use materials they stole" (even if they're public). twitter.com/RepAdamSchiff/…
