Presdient Trump has clean hands, and you and your friends hate him because Maxine Waters called him guilty without a shred of proof, when actually, he is fully exonerated from wrongdoing by never having done one single thing he was accused of by very evil and mentally incompetent crazy mouthpieces of the DNC. DNC, the party of hatred and abominable personal habits with a failure of introspection present.Just because he can't be found guilty of numerous charges doesn't mean he should be acceptable as our leader The man is pure slime and if that's who you support it says a lot about youFor your perusal PCDragons posts speak for themselves,,,,,loudlyThis is where you provide linked, sourced, checkable examples of your premise.

While the report does not find criminal conspiracy between Trump associates and Russia, it describes a set of contacts that may not involve chargeable criminality but might reasonably be described as âcollusion.â In some of these cases, there was a clear âmeeting of the mindsââor an effort to establish oneâbetween members of the Trump campaign and agents of the Russian government, but the object of that agreement was not a federal crime. If these episodes fall short of a criminal conspiracy, they nonetheless reveal an alarming reality.
The report details numerous contacts during the presidential campaign, some of which are well knownâfor example, the cases of George Papadopoulos and Carter Page, two low-level recruits to the Trump campaignâs foreign policy team who became the focus of efforts by Russian agents to cultivate a relationship. A higher profile case is that of Trumpâs former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. The report describes Manafortâs extensive ties to Russia in detail, ties he cultivated through his prior work for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and the former Russian-backed government in Ukraine. Throughout his time with the Trump campaignâManafort resigned in August 2016 but continued to advise the Trump campaign through at least NovemberâManafort maintained consistent contact with his âlongtimeâ associate Konstantin Kilimnik, a Ukrainian who, according to the report, âthe FBI assesses to have ties to Russian intelligence.â Kilimnik attempted to have Manafort pass along a peace plan for Ukraine that Manafort acknowledged to be friendly to Russian interests, though the Mueller team was unable to identify evidence that Manafort did so. Manafort in turn instructed his deputy Rick Gates to provide Kilimnik with polling data and other information regarding the Trump campaignâs electoral strategy, which he understood would be passed on to Deripaska and others.
A particularly troubling example is the protracted negotiation over the Trump Tower Moscow project, in which President Trump was personally involved. In September 2015, the Trump Organization, acting through attorney Michael Cohen, restarted negotiations over a possible Trump Tower project in Moscow that had fallen through several years prior. Trump himself signed a letter of intent for the project in October 2015, on the same day as the third Republican primary debate. One of Cohenâs interlocutors on the deal, businessman Felix Sater, repeatedly raised the prospect of using the deal to enhance Trumpâs electoral prospects. In January 2016, Cohen reached out to Russian officials in an attempt to contact Putin and secure support for the project, which ultimately resulted in an invitation for Cohen to visit Moscow to discuss. Cohen also raised the prospect of Trump himself visiting Russia to discuss the deal, once in late 2015 and again in spring 2016âa possibility that Cohen indicated Trump was open to if it would facilitate the deal. Neither trip ultimately came together. Cohen ultimately pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about how long into 2016 the Trump Tower Moscow project was negotiated and Trumpâs personal knowledge of it.
There are other examples too. The Mueller report lays out in detail a sustained effort to obtain a set of emails which figures associated with the campaign believed hackers might have obtained from Hillary Clintonâs private server before she deleted them. The trouble is that it appears the emails didnât exist. It has previously been reported that now-deceased Trump supporter Peter Smith went to extreme lengths to try and track down Clintonâs 30,000 deleted emails. According to todayâs report, after candidate Trump stated in July 2016 that he hoped Russia would âfind the 30,000 emails,â future National Security Advisor Michael Flynn reached out to multiple people to try and obtain those emails. One of the individuals he reached out to was Peter Smith. Smith later circulated a document that claimed his âClinton Email Reconnaissance Initiativeâ was ââin coordinationâ with the Trump Campaignâ specifically naming Flynn, Sam Clovis, Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway. While the investigation found that Smith communicated with both Flynn and Clovis, it found no evidence that any of the four individuals listed âinitiated or directed Smithâs efforts.â So essentially, a bunch of people in Trumpâs orbit tried very hard to obtain stolen emails but came up empty. Mueller decided that chasing this particular ghost did not constitute criminal conduct.
There are also a series of events for which the special counselâs office appeared to have seriously considered the possibility of bringing charges but ultimately determined that not all of the elements were met or that the evidence was otherwise insufficient.
Most seriously, the special counselâs office examined possible criminal charges related to the June 9, 2016, Trump Tower meeting in significant depth. The reportâs account of the meeting between senior representatives of the Trump campaign and Russian attorney Natalya Veselnitskaya and other Russian government-linked individuals largely tracks with widely reported accounts. The meeting was proposed to Donald Trump Jr. in an email from Robert Goldstone, who said that the âCrown prosecutor of Russia ... offered to provide the Trump Campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russiaâ as âpart of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump.â Trump Jr. responded that âif itâs what you say I love itâ and arranged the meeting through a series of emails and telephone calls. Trump Jr., Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner attended. The meeting lasted approximately 20 minutes and left the campaign officials frustrated because the Russians were not able to offer any concrete information and instead talked about adoptions and the Russian Magnitsky Act.
