The news is not that happy. The press is saying there is no new evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians. This is a big deal, because it is a fact that the collusion is very real, and the media is covering it all over.
There is still no definitive proof that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians. It is a mystery that has been unsolved for more than two years. Some say that this is because it is really hard to prove a negative, that you need to have strong evidence to prove a positive, but the reality is that it’s just easier to not have to prove anything. There are no signs that there were any illegal acts done by either Trump or his campaign.
As it turns out, it isn’t actually that hard to prove a negative. Even if there had been evidence to show collusion, there are only two things that can be proven by reasonable evidence: (1) that the Trump organization colluded with the Russians and (2) that they committed an act of treason against the United States. For the first, there’s still no evidence whatsoever, and for the second, there are several ways to prove this.
For the first, the Justice Department says they can only prove collusion with the Russian government by asking Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to publicly admit if they took part in a conspiracy with the president’s opponents. For the second, the only way to prove treason is to show the Trump campaign and Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.
The Justice Department’s investigation into collusion with Russia is ongoing, so we can’t say anything concrete. However, in the media’s eyes, this is one of the most serious investigations into Russian ties and if the Justice Department can’t prove collusion, then there is no collusion. That’s why Trump’s supporters are still on the campaign trail, and why this week’s headlines were about the FBI’s investigation.
And so we’re back to an old meme of the DOJ and FBI, back to an old meme of “collusion” and “intent”, back to an old meme of “no collusion”. This isn’t a bad thing though, because it makes it harder to understand why Trump is being criticized. By focusing on the alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, the media is actually helping to undermine the credibility of the investigation.
The Justice Department’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election is almost entirely focused on collusion. And yet, the FBI’s investigation, which is focused solely on the Trump campaign, is still going on. This isn’t because the FBI is incompetent, or because it was somehow hacked, or because the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians. All of these things are possible. But the fact is that the FBI is going to do its investigation regardless of what anyone else wants it to do.
The reason the FBI is focused solely on Trump and his campaign is because the FBI has been at the center of controversy for quite some time. In fact, the FBI’s involvement in the election is even older than the FBI’s involvement in Watergate (which occurred in 1973). That’s because the FBI isn’t just in the business of catching people who might have committed crimes.
Since the beginning of the investigation, the FBI has been investigating the Russians. Specifically, the Russian government. In other words, the FBI knows that Russia is interfering in our elections, they just don’t know who’s doing it.
The FBI is responsible for running the FBI’s own investigation into Russian interference in America. There are approximately 50,000 FBI employees and around 3,000 FBI agents in America. There are also other law enforcement agencies and departments that work with the FBI on an ongoing basis.
