Sorry for this tangent. But I still to do this day don't know if " Trump is a russian asset" theory true. Are parts of it true? I know bunch of people went to jail and stuff. I want to research this but there so much out there i get even more confused. How should i think about this whole 'russian collusion' thing? Seems like it completely fell off media radar when covid showed up on the scene. Is putin really behind whats going on in USA.

Seth Abramson wrote a few books about this, extensively researched.

  I have to read few books to really understand it? 'Trump is an russian asset' . How can it not be a yes/no question, he either is or isn't. I dont understand why I need to read few books. What can't someone just tell me the answer to the question. Edit: Looks like even the Atlantic thinks that Abramson is a conspiracy theorist https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/07/liberal-fever-swamps/530736/ https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/07/liberal...

    Because heavy allegation require heavy evidence, not lies about something unfounded.

      Okay but can you give me at least an opening statement equivalent of this case? Like when a prosecutor says that they will demonstrate that how the defendant stalked the victim for days before committing the murder and he was observed by many witnesses disposing the murder weapon in the woods.

Yes. Why not give the Mueller report a read? Annotated versions are widely available, e.g. [1]. Alternatively, or perhaps additionally, give Sarah Kendzior's Hiding In Plain Sight [1] a read. It is a quick but exceedingly well-researched and well-documented read which neatly summarises the travesty that the Trump administration has been.

  > Yes. I don't have a deep interest in the topic to read about it. I just wanted to know the conclusion. I'll take your word for it, thank you, thats all i needed to know.
