Interesting, didn't know about that. Thanks for the info. Then perhaps you can give me some more clarification: * What about the Russian troll farms running fake pro-Trump social media accounts? * What about the hacking of Clinton's email server and strategic release of those emails right before the election (even though the e-mails ended up containing nothing incriminating)? * What about the many people lying/obstructing justice that were investigated? Why were so many people caught lying if there was nothing to hide? Honestly curious, I'm not from the US so I don't have a horse in the race and I don't know that much about the investigation, but it seems to be quite obvious something fishy is going on there. Whether or not Trump's team was personally involved is another matter, but it seems obvious Russia meddled in the election extensively to assist Trump in winning. That alone seems quite alarming to me. It also feels like you are defending it primarily because it happened to someone on your team, and you would not be defending it if the situation were reversed and, say, Clinton was assisted by China or something like this, even if she had no part to play in the assistance.

* What about the Russian troll farms running fake pro-Trump social media accounts? Until there is no hard evidence, those troll farms are conspiracy theories. Besides, these days the left press is so ridiculously biased that NYT, Guardian, etc could easily qualify as troll farms. * What about the hacking of Clinton's email server and strategic release of those emails right before the election (even though the e-mails ended up containing nothing incriminating)? You mean the "e-mail server" (lol) which was "hosted" at her bedroom? You do realise that here of all places there is probably the highest number of people to see how ridiculous this is. * What about the many people lying/obstructing justice that were investigated? Why were so many people caught lying if there was nothing to hide? There is always something to hide, the question is were they guilty of what they were accused or not. Also after this appeared: 'What is our goal?' one of the notes dated January 24 2017 - the day of the interview - read. 'Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?' I would not give too much credibility to those investigators. 1. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8271953/Unsealed-memos-FBI-planned-Michael-Flynn-lie-prosecute-fired.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8271953/Unsealed-me...

  * Until there is no hard evidence, those troll farms are conspiracy theories. As far as I see reading about the report, there were multiple indictments made against several Russian entities and nationals for online campaigns supporting Donald Trump [1]. They were (obviously) not prosecuted, but the evidence is there, otherwise there would be no indictments.

This feels to me like you are not diversifying your news sources at all, and are only reading biased right-wing news and using that to feed your existing biases. The left wing media is not anymore biased than the right wing media, and there exists a scale of bias on both sides (there exists both ridiculously biased left wing media and ridiculously biased right wing media and everything in between). I suggest you diversify where you get your news from to get a clearer picture of the world. Try to keep more of an open mind. Nothing good comes from blindly following one side or the other - both sides have plenty of good and plenty of criminals. * You mean the "e-mail server" (lol) which was "hosted" at her bedroom? You do realise that here of all places there is probably the highest number of people to see how ridiculous this is. Plenty of people have a private e-mail server at home for one reason or the other. This was blown up way out of proportion. Partisanship has heavily clouded your judgement here. * There is always something to hide, the question is were they guilty of what they were accused or not.

Weren't the investigators Republicans themselves?

    Thanks for taking the time to critique my psyche, reading habits and personality. It would have been somewhat better if you stuck to the topic in stead of lowly as hominem, but in some cases this is too much to expect :D :D
