Hypothesis: the Trump campaign actively colluded with Russia to manipulate the US elections

We have a hypothesis of seriously earth-shaking proportions: the Trump presidential campaign actually colluded with the Russian government (in some form) to hack into the Democratic party files and steal information that could be used as propaganda against not only Hillary Clinton, but all Dem candidates running in the election, all in order to steal the election for Trump and the GOP.

Here's the important part of this-- we have a LOT of data/evidence that supports this hypothesis, and we actually have NO data/evidence that goes against this hypothesis. At least I'm unaware of any evidence that contradict this hypothesis.

Thus, we have a working hypothesis that the Trump campaign committed treason at the highest levels, and the Republican party has helped cover this up.



The Trump team and the GOP has a lot to lose in this, but ultimately we have to hope that patriotic duty will hold sway. This level of treason cannot be allowed to stand.

Trump actively and fully coordinated and colluded with Russia to steal the election. Communication and coordination was constant and likely continues today.

Republicans can obstruct, obfuscate, cover-up, spin and outright lie all they want. This is the scandal that will take down Trump's presidency, the sooner, the better, but I honestly believe it's only a matter of time.

Let's hope there is finally some hard evidence of collusion sooner rather then later.

Getting sick of hearing "there is no evidence of collusion", what with all the stuff going on...investigations, leaks, wiretaps, warrants, etc.

whether it still needs to be dug out from whatever obscure source they have.

All I know is the evidence right now we have is fairly damning.

Greg Palast doesn't go that far but he does have evidence of
election engineering by repukes (this time I think it included Russian help).

I read his book "The Best Democracy Money can Buy"
He has a shitload of evidence (albeit much is circumstantial).
I think it's still heresy to claim our elections are corrupted.
Like back in the 1600's it was heresy in the catholic church to say the earth was not the center of the cosmos.

They made deals with the Russians through comrade kissoff, you see that the GOP is attempting to gut the social safety nets this is their wet dream. The higher ups knew ( funny how McConnells old lady got a plum job).
