    Why I stopped supporting Trump is kinda related, but a different story in it of itself.

    Sorry wrong.
    Since even the Democrat impeachment team didn't think the Muller report was worth the time or trouble to delve into again I think that tells you all you need to know.

    Explain how this constitutes a conspiracy theory.

    Are you talking about the Muller report that was disclosed by Barr or the real Muller report?

    It wasn't illegal because they didn't actually receive what was promised. They hoped to receive dirt on Hillary, which would have constituted something of value from a foreign government.

    You just got through claiming David Hogg was not present during the Parkland shooting. You could evidently learn something from the OP's example.

    What truth is being denied?
    What acts did Biden do that you regard as treasonous?

    the problem was the republicans were in power, and they choose not to prosecute a sitting President over the crimes in the Mueller Report

    Congratulations on your recovery. It seems to be a human frailty that people can get trapped in a spiral of absurd beliefs amounting to delusion, and it becomes very hard for them to break out of it -- communists, religious fanatics, anti-vaxxers, etc. And now the delusional millions who think Trump won.

    Not after 2018 they weren't Dems could have drug it back up at any time they never tried. Not even in 2018. By the way no one who read all of the report's conclusions would bother either.

    True does not stop them from using the Muller Report for impeachment if they so chose and they never did.

    they chose not too, gave him a chance, then he did it again, that time was impeached

    then he did it again and was impeached a second time

    Trump has not and will never learn his lesson, thus should never be allowed to run for office again

    You mean like the Steele report? Or is getting something from a foreign government only illegal if Trump does it.

    Yeah he was impeached for not doing what Biden had already done. But that really wasn't why he was impeached, he tried kick over another of the corrupt Dems foreign honey pots and they couldn't have that.

    To bad that isn't going to happen and they could have brought up Muller the second time and didn't.

    Why? No matter how much you multiply zero by its still nothing.

    Also in hindsight there was never a case for impeachment. By the way Trump is no longer president where are all those charges coming from the southern district of New York? They can't get there pet song bird to sing the right tune?

    Fusion is not a foreign government, and they didn't make a gift of their research. Hiring a company to do opposition research does not entail a gift of value, as would information given freely and directly to members of the campaign by a foreign government.

    Fusion obtain foreign disinformation which Hillary used against Trump in spite if it being garbage. Trump junior got nothing of value and the exchange was to be his time for her and her she has however disappeared from the face of the earth and reported to fusion both before and after

    Being able to change and adapt based on reasoned thought and new observations is the only thing that separates us from the sheep.

    A campaign that accepts something of value from a foreign government has broken the law; it doesn't depend on a quid pro quo. Junior tried to break that law (saying he "loved it", referring to the dirt he hoped to receive), but lucked out by the fact that he didn't get anything.

    Did she use something from Steele? What exactly? If she did, it would have been good faith on her part. Unfortunate if she unknowingly spread false information, but contrast that with the knowingly false claims Trump made about her. A practice he repeated in 2020 with false claims about Biden.
