Greg Collard: Russiagate Explained: The Sins of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment

I'm sort of reading all the stuff coming out on this pretty quickly, as I don't really have time to dive into it carefully right now.

So I have to just kind of bracket it all unless/until I get a chance to look at it more carefully.

Thus far I agree with Andy McCarthy: nothing too new(?)

My tentative-but-long-standing-guess: Obama was involved to a significant extent, but probably didn't do anything illegal.

If the show were on the other foot, and Trump had apparently ordered such dirty tricks against Obama, the MSM would write of nothing else. I'm sure we'd be told that there is no other explanation for the evidence, and all that.

But, be that as it may, I don't buy any of this talk about treason, and I find it repugnant.

Again, this is exactly the kind of hysterical hyperbole we fear from Trump.

You can't go around flinging charges of treason against former Presidents.

Yes, I know the Dems have done it against Trump for a decade. But, as usual, Trump escalates by doing the crazy shit the Democrats do...but doing it basically from the Oval Office...
