Really looking forward to @ggreenwald's beat-down of Chait making claims about his ideology for another of his scolding screeds.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1023919131941326848 …

There ARE real problems with the left's embrace of the Russia investigation as they have. Partly it's an uncritical celebration of FBI and its leaders. Partly it's celebration of right wingers who created preconditions for Trump. Partly it's jingoism.
Our local lefties want to cast all the blame of 2016 on HRC and "sell out Dems" without investigation of what appears to be a plan by the Kremlin to infiltrate the GOP which is alarming. I don't thinks Dems are perfect, but there's more to the story than a simple loss, right?
Sure. And both need scrutiny. As well as a bunch of other things.
We agree on this, and many other things, I am a big fan of yours.I am a leftie myself and certainly not a FBI fangirl, but there's a vast conspiracy between the GOP and several hostile foreign powers that must be halted for the sake of everyone in the world TBH
I think the main concern from the left is that people are focusing on the Russia stuff to avoid thinking about the mistakes made in 2016. And even if certain things are proven, there’s little that can really be done. So it seems like a distraction from more important fights.
Collusion is neither illegal nor punishable, and the percentage of people who currently support trump who will stop if it’s proven he colluded is minimal at best.
Liberals seem convinced that at some point we will “prove” that Trump is “bad”. But if someone isn’t convinced yet, they likely never will be. Better to spend our time talking about voter disenfranchisement, gerrymandering, ending electoral college, not running from Center, etc
