He did. Do you know the difference between colluding with the Russians and colluding with the Russians to form a conspiracy? Obviously not.Basically he said he knew from the start that his work could not unseat Trump.
I think his and the libs agenda may have been farther apart than thought.
There was no collusion thus he was fighting a losing battle...I think he would loved to have been able to dig up some evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians.
