> Trump. There was no Trump-Russia conspiracy, it was a witch hunt.

We know today that the 2016 Trump Campaign:

- Had over 100 meetings with Russian officials, lied and said they had 0

- Amplified information hacked by Russia, implored for more publicly

- Met with Russian spy at Trump's home to discuss relaxed relations in return for dirt on Clinton, later lied about the existence of that meeting

- Shared internal campaign polling data with a Russian intel officer.

These facts are not in dispute by anyone, and are presented in the Mueller Report, and the Senate Intel Committee Report on Russian Active Measures. From Wikipedia:

  The Senate Intelligence Committee assessed that Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's "high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services" was a "grave counterintelligence threat".[50] The foremost individual was Manafort's employee Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian.[50] The committee identified Kilimnik as a "Russian intelligence officer"; describing that Manafort and Kilimnik had a "close and lasting relationship" even through the 2016 election.[53] Manafort repeatedly tried to "secretly share internal Campaign information with Kilimnik", including "sensitive internal polling data or Campaign strategy".[53]
I don't know about you, but that sounds like collusion to me.
