      Phil Elliott Retweeted Donald J. Trump

      To be clear, just today The Washington Post is reporting Trump adviser Roger Stone met with a Russian offering to sell dirt on Clinton. Also, obstruction of justice is still a crime, even if the subject of an investigation ultimately proves not to be a crime.https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1008362351807037441 …

      WITCH HUNT! There was no Russian Collusion. Oh, I see, there was no Russian Collusion, so now they look for obstruction on the no Russian Collusion. The phony Russian Collusion was a made up Hoax. Too bad they didn’t look at Crooked Hillary like this. Double Standard!

      Phil: You're playing into his little game. It's clear Mueller is increasingly focused on Trump for collusion. Why reinforce Trump's bogus obstruction line?

      Can two suspected crimes not coexist?

      Replying to @Philip_Elliott

      Sure but look what you've done with your tweet. You've not pointed out, correctly, that the WaPo story proves Trump's longest political ally considered colluding. Instead you've refuted the obstruction, the lesser of Trump's claims. You're reinforced his narrative.

          To be clear, I note the meeting and then incomplete honesty about said meeting. What more would you like?

          Replying to @Philip_Elliott

          You can do whatever you want. If you want to rebut Trump effectively, rather than reinforce his narrative, you might engage the collusion alone, which is what your evidence pointed to, rather than reinforcing that he's the focus of only obstruction.

          Sorry. I guess my point was that in not being honest, the President’s circle stands to add to its woes rather than dodge them.

          Replying to @Philip_Elliott

          Your tweet is structured like this: 1) Hey! Evidence that Stone was colluding. 2) Never mind that, let me argue that Trump can be found guilty for obstruction even if he wasn't colluding which I've just shown he was.

          That's before you get to 1) Mueller can't indict Trump directly and he's not going to list him as a co-conspirator meriting impeachment for obstruction alone and 2) he's never going to get to the collusion part if his supporters keep reinforcing Trump propaganda.
