      George Papadopolous -- Trump campaign volunteer who sparked Trump-Russia probe in July 2016 -- has been sentenced to just 14 days in jail. This does not bode well for the investigation, & hopes for collusion proof (as some of us warned right at the start):https://www.thenation.com/article/why-the-papadopoulos-plea-isnt-a-smoking-gun/ …

      For a sample of the vain hopes that have been placed in George P, here's James Risen of @TheIntercept calling him part of "a secret channel" between Trump-Russia & "Exhibit A in the argument" for collusion: 🤔 https://theintercept.com/2018/04/12/trump-russia-intermediary-joseph-mifsud-missing-case-for-collusion/ …pic.twitter.com/yVWzmfBmdp

      Hey @emptywheel , does Jeff Sessions get indicted for his role in the Russia collusion plot before or after George P spends his 14 days in jail? 🤔(https://theintercept.com/2017/10/30/jeff-sessions-indictment-bad-news-for-attorney-general/ …) (https://www.democracynow.org/2017/10/31/marcy_wheeler_says_indictments_in_russia …)

      Ahhh. Aaron the clown once again points to stuff that actually HAS proven to be true, and thinks it's proof of the opposite. As a reminder, Aaron, I don't engage with people who 1) are unfamiliar w/public record 2) operate in bad faith.

      Is there going to be a shelf life on how you long you can invoke "the public record" notwithstanding the absence of actual charges or substantiated claims that support your theories?

      You can vehemently disagree but I don’t see you doing any name calling. She likes to call people clowns along with many other things. I guess insulting people who disagree is called good faith nowadays?

      Aaron went through three explanations of something with me, each time acting in bad faith. It's only after that that--and his smug certainty even while proving he doesn't know the public record--that I started calling him a clown. The Sessions stuff is an excellent example.

      Do you really think anyone using basic comprehension skills doesn't see you're full of shit? It's so ironic you call Aaron a clown and of bad faith. We can all see you holding up a mirror to yourself. Time to end the charade.

      Have you read my posts? People who've read my posts find them rigorous in a way that Aaron doesn't even try to be. So, no, I don't think people w/basic reading comprehension find me full of shit.

      Actually you're right. I can't speak for other people. Just me. And I've read both of you. I find Aaron way more rigorous and his analyses far more insightful. I don't buy the whole Russophobia bs at all and I can't see how anyone who has looked into it in a critical way could.

      I don't buy Russophobia either!! In fact I've taken it on. And anyone who thinks I'm involved in Russophobia is ... struggling.

          Let me clarify myself. I think you have Russophobia. I see blaming everything on the Russians as bs.

          GREAT!!! When I blame "everything on Russians" then you might have a point. I've repeatedly said RU didn't do anything in 2016 the GOP wasn't already doing.

          Sorry if I'm mistaken. I thought your whole thing was Russia and Trump colluded to steal the 16 election. I haven't seen any evidence of that which was why I was critical of you.

          I apologise if I misunderstood you. I'm confused now and have no idea what you're in disagreement with Aaron about. I've been rereading your tweets but am confused. So you agree that this whole Mueller show trial hasn't shown any collusion?

          ok. So you're thinking the collusion evidence thing is still to come eh? Which means at this point you don't believe any collusion took place. Gotcha.

          To be clear: 1. Mueller has yet present the "collusion" case to a court. 2. Yes, I believe there was "collusion" 3. And the crime is conspiracy not "collusion"
