President Trump and Devin Nunes have been muddying the waters of the Russia investigation, so let’s try to clarify those waters so that they’re as clear as vodka.

Here are a dozen things we know.

1. Russia interfered in the U.S. election. The U.S. intelligence community concluded that President Vladimir Putin had “a clear preference” for Trump and “ordered an influence campaign” to hurt Hillary Clinton.

Lies, liars and the lies they tell.   It wasn't Trump that made the Fusion GPS deal.  And the "Russian dossier" was anti-Trump, not anti-Hillary.   As is usual when the idiot left is bleating something over and over and over again.... it not only does not make logical sense, it's so wrong it stinks.

It's the NY Slimes.  The Liberal/Marxist Paper of record.

Suitable only for bird cage liner or puppy potty training.

Actually not, but we do know that US Intelligence was/is being run by Clintoon operatives. 

Try again losers.

Nonsense. Not a scintilla of evidence exists nor is needed for the democrat left to keep their fantasy impeachment scenario thriving in there fervent little pea brains.

It doesn't make sense. The left thinks this is a game, the objective being to throw up as much smoke as possible. They aren't interested in the truth, they refuse to cede a single point even when the evidence is overwhelming.

I've about had it with the TV panel shows that have representatives of the democrat party - its not that I don't want to hear all sides, its that they are utterly worthless in terms of providing any new or edifying information worth considering - just talking points.

They've certainly acted guilty and if they're not, I think the Administration has certainly mismanaged this from the git-go:  members of the Administration raised doubts about their forthcomings when they “forgot” about meetings with Russians (e.g., Sessions), repeatedly amended security clearance forms with meetings with Russians (e.g., Kushner), misled the American public about meetings with Russians to get “dirt” on Hillary Clinton (e.g., Don Jr., et al), and changed their rationale for firing the FBI Director (e.g., Trump). 

I’m not saying any of these things are, in and of themselves, criminal, but if you're not guilty, I think you do yourself a disservice by not doing your homework, not being prepared for testimony/paperwork under threat of perjury, and trying to misled the American people about your actions.  I truly believe that had the Administration been forthcoming, honest, and prepared, this whole thing could have been over months ago.  Instead, they’ve been repeatedly unprepared, deceptive, misleading, and inconsistent.  Yet another self-inflicted wound IMO.
