In a triumph for US political discourse, @benjaminwittes and I were able to convert our prior Twitter rancor into a productive conversation about the Mueller Report, collusion, the media, and where we differ on those subjects. It was pretty interesting!https://www.patreon.com/posts/26649926

I particularly commend Wittes for self-reflecting on the utility of his well-known Twitter slogan "BOOM," which he used to amplify some stories which proved to be untrue. Nonetheless, as he makes clear, the "baby cannon" lives on

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this might be the first good-faith, extended discussion between "collusion skeptics" (roughly speaking) and "collusion advocates" (roughly speaking) since the Mueller Report

That page literally says the opposite: they “evaluated potentially criminal conduct that involved the collective action of multiple individuals not under the rubric of “collusion,” but through the lens of conspiracy law.”

Wait, I thought you agreed that the term "collusion" has two distinct but similar meanings, a criminal meaning and a colloquial one, and that Mueller investigated collusion in the criminal sense but not the colloquial sense That's different from "Mueller investigated collusion."

I have no personal ax to grind with Wittes. However like numerous other lawyer commentators he often takes positions that are highly debatable legally yet ignores the obvious counterarguments. His unconditional embrace of Mueller & his report are prime examples.
