      2. More seriously, there are two tracks in the Russia story: the political track and the legal track. "Collusion Is Not a Crime" means Trump has a political strategy but not a legal strategy.

      3. "Collusion is not a crime" doesn't work as a legal strategy because there are all sorts of people around Trump, including family, who are in legal jeopardy for serious actual offences.

      4. I think one mistake people are making is paying too much attention to Trump & Giuliani (the political track) and not enough to Mueller's actions (the legal track). To be fair, the Mueller stuff is murky (few leaks and we're only seeing tip of iceberg).

      5. My colleague has good thoughts on why we should ignore political track (i.e. Giuliani's grandstanding) and try to keep abreast of legal track: https://newrepublic.com/article/150399/ignore-rudy-giuliani …

          mueller is going to his job without infuence from the public. what we need to keep an eye on is congress and the senate. they are working tirelessly to screw things up.

          Yes I completely agree with your colleague. Guiliani may only exist as Trump's lawyer to shield himself from being called as a witness and to distract reporters who are too dumb to know the difference between news and propaganda.

          I'm already doing a fine job ignoring Rudy Giuliani, thank you.

          I recall reading about the Seychelles meeting in 2017 between Erik Prince and a Russian banker that your colleague cites. But it had definitely dropped off my radar. And reading that article, I also learned that Erik Prince is Betsy Devos's brother?! I didn't know that.

          The problem is that with a firm enough victory on the political track, Trump can end the legal track and pardon everyone involved.
