    It's true that Mueller said, "A statement that the investigation did not establish particular facts does not mean there was no evidence of those facts." Yes, because... you can't prove a negative. It's a trivial point. His entire mandate was to establish conspiracy. He did not.

        I can't disprove with 100% epistemological certainty that space aliens are hovering outside my window right now. But if I investigate this potentiality intensively, and find no evidence for it, I can rightly claim: "There are no space aliens hovering outside my window right now"

        That qualification isn’t about proving a negative. That qualification is drawing attention to the distinction between finding no evidence and not finding evidence sufficient to demonstrate. The primary reason to make the distinction is if you found some evidence.

        Also, sometimes facts can point in the direction of a conclusion without that conclusion being true. Eg there is meat in my fridge, but I am still a vegetarian

        Its astonishing to me how many people do not understand this basic principle of reasoning that is innately learned as part of human development. Unsure if they are purposefully grasping at straws by saying "well he didnt find that trump didnt collude" or they really are just dumb

        I can totally understand how being frustrated and angry would cause someone to want to steal a car or cross against the light. And they should be allowed to do that.

        In my mind there are 4 levels Mueller could’ve landed on: 1. Evidence of no collusion 2. No evidence of collusion 3. Evidence, but insufficient to bring charges 4. Sufficient evidence to bring charges We got to #3 despite a ceaseless campaign to obstruct the investigation. https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1118930096440651776 …

        These people willfully misunderstand the American justice system. They want a Soviet-style tribunal. “If you’re innocent, you wouldn’t be here.”

        Anyone who requests any form of proving a negative should have a dunce cap permanently affixed to their head until they take a full course on logic and reasoning.
