The Russian Collusion Theory Collapses; The Left Moves The Goalposts
Sumantra Maitra at the Federalist.
This seems basically right to me.
Goalpost-shifting is sometimes warranted--if some goalposts belong in the new location, as it were.
But that ought to be cause for reflection. Progressives and Dems have often said that Trump threatens our democracy. That could be true...and Trump does threaten some things...but I don't see that he threaten our democracy. In fact, the left is more clearly threatening democracy by refusing to accept the outcome of the election, and seeking to thwart it.

Starting with a tweet by Nate Silver as evidence is...pretty weak. He is talking specifically about troll farms, which have little to do with collusion per se. The big deal is Guccifer 2.0. And Don Jr is still on record saying that collusion on this is a good idea.
