    You're being either unconsciously obtuse or willfully obtuse. Which is it?? As I have made clear, Trump IS popular with McConnell's constituents. That is a true fact. I believe McConnell is pandering to his base BECAUSE he is losing the support of that base. Kissing Trump's ass would rectify that. Get it?? That is called an "obvious benefit" (at least to everyone but you). Release another squirrel.......

    Willfully. He wants to annoy anyone who doesn't like Trump. He did the same thing when Bush was in office. The best approach is to take his posts as humor and have fun with it.

    It is what it is.

    There's NOTHING compelling to suggest he's lying or that the NYTimes is correct. Quite the opposite, no matter how deep your head is in the sand.

    On that we can agree. It is what it is.

    Don't read your own links?

    There is no evidence in the emails that Mr. Sater delivered on his promises, and one email suggests that Mr. Sater overstated his Russian ties. In January 2016, Mr. Cohen wrote to Mr. Putin’s spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, asking for help restarting the Trump Tower project, which had stalled. But Mr. Sater did not appear to have Mr. Peskov’s direct email, and instead wrote to a general inbox for press inquiries.

    The project never got government permits or financing, and died weeks later.​

    The emails obtained by The Times make no mention of Russian efforts to damage Hillary Clinton’s campaign or the hacking of Democrats’ emails.

    From the right wing conspiracy theory source, Daily Beast (talking heads on MSNBC all the time):

    http://www.thedailybeast.com/paul-manafort-teamed-up-with-obamas-lawyer-to-help-putin-ally

    Paul Manafort Teamed Up With Obama’s Lawyer to Help Putin Ally

    It wasn’t just Republicans.

    When Paul Manafort needed a powerful D.C. law firm to bless an alarming act by his clients in Kiev’s pro-Kremlin regime in Kiev, Donald Trump’s future campaign chairman turned to attorneys with significant ties to Barack Obama’s administration.

    In exchange, a team led by Obama’s former White House counsel Greg Craig at the firm of Skadden Arps produced a report that whitewashed the pro-Putin government of Viktor Yanukovych for jailing Yanukovych’s anti-Kremlin predecessor. Manafort consulted for Yanukovych’s Party of Regions. And they did it all for roughly $13,000—a conspicuously small amount for top lawyers at a prestigious law firm. (Prosecutors in Ukraine have reportedly alleged a million dollars more in secret payments.)

    It’s an episode indicating Manafort, who now faces criminal investigation in the Trump-Russia saga, made sure to try to spread the wealth to the Democratic Party before assisting in Donald Trump’s takeover of the Republican Party. And it underscores that a truly independent investigation into Russian election interference would likely implicate Democratic figures

    Wow, this is a huge step for you!

    to

    There is a russian conspiracy but the dems are also involved. ​

    There is no Russia conspiracy. Democrats and republicans both met with Russians over the years, which isn't a crime.

    and yet you thought this was important enough to highlight...

    So according to you there is no crime but if the investigation continues it will show that the dems didn't commit a crime either?

    Interesting.
