I always figured the various indicted/convicted/failson ppl in Trump's orbit came to him and said "These nice Russians think you're very strong and handsome, they'd like to help you win, maybe you'll make a little money" and since Hannity was on commercial break he said "ok sure"

Collusion in the sense of Trump saying "Yes, let's definitely work together to commit crimes that will help me win" probably requires object permanence, which President Dump Payloads of Water on the Burning Gothic Cathedral Spiral generally lacks.

But Trump is so thoroughly corrupt—just has no conception of any rules or laws applying to him and never has—that celebrating his alleged vindication is repulsive as well as stupid. It's not like Russian govt/oligarchs were the only pay-to-play people in his orbit!

The problem w Greenwald &c is that conflating ALL ppl who think Russian interests did ANYTHING in Trump's favor Maddow/twitter BOOM-threaders, when he should be seeing it in tandem w (eg) Saudi, Israel, UAE, the NRA, the hilariously corrupt cabinet, his corrupt judge sister etc

Ironically Greenwald and the Russiagate libs he despises have the same problem but from different angles: They fixate on a Russiagate killshot, he fixates on a Russiagate goose egg, but we should just file Russia under "R" in the whole alphabetical list of Trumpworld criminality

Exactly right: The smart take all along is this is a corruption story not a spy story and it's one of many Trump corruption stories not the motherload. But it's easier to take shot at MSNBC than engage that argument.
