What is amazing is how so many people are readily brainwashed to believe the Russian/GQP version of events, and make up utter bullshit to support their beliefs. Mueller's Report lays it all out, and if one believes it was a Democrat conspiracy, simply arm-wave it away. However, no small number of these people are trolls who are addicted to the infamy of repeating asinine lies. They even take pride in their immoral behavior. Sucks to be them.
It really is amazing. I'm accustomed to suspending disbelief long enough to enjoy a silly movie, but the
Republicans do it 24 - 7 with the most bizarre lies. It's like they're hypnotized. And Trump is their Svengali. Must be a horror flick.
crazy
Durham's investigation pretty much fits the definition of "witch hunt."
