        It ignores the most obvious explanation?

        right but the other explanations seem plausible to me too. Do you think mueller knows?

        Other explanations are *less plausible* then the simplest one. Laying out only the less plausible, less damning ones is an exercise is rationalization or obfuscation.

        in a way I hope it’s the less damning ones then because in theory they should be easier to prove. Collusion seems unlikely that there is an email that says, “help us and we will relieve sanctions”

        Collusion isn't a crime. Conspiracy is. It has already been charged twice.

        Knowing your tweets, I'm not sure if this is sarcasm. Friedman can be up and down, ok, but what's wrong with this text? I didn't open the link - firewall.

        Marcy please don't talk shit about Friedman, he gave humanity the gift of the "Friedman Unit", which is his best work by far.

        Being unfamiliar with the Friedman Unit, I'm just going to assume that it's some new fangled and slightly dangerous to use sex toy.

        No, you want "The Falafel Thing", I understand that is much better.
