This never ceases to drive me nuts about us -- we seem determined to swallow about half of GOP propaganda in other to criticize the other half, and thus give away most of the game before we even start.

The report shows that there was PLENTY of "collusion"...but collusion isn't a crime. The crime is a further step, conspiracy to commit election fraud, and Mueller decided there was insufficient evidence to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt, because doing so would require him to show direct coordination between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, not just "a wink and a nod" tacit consent with unofficial go-betweens.

But there was a whole volume of the report showing collusion. How many pages was that?
