Accusation: The Trump campaign was a partner in an “extensive conspiracy” with the Kremlin to interfere in the 2016 election. ......................Today: There is no confirmed public evidence. No Trump person has been charged in such a conspiracy. Mr. Mueller’s office informed President Trump that he isn’t a target. .................................................. .......⦁ Accusation: Then-Trump attorney Michael Cohen secretly traveled to Prague in August 2016 and met with Putin aides to organize cash payments to hush up hackers who infiltrated Democratic Party computers. ............................................. Today: There is no confirmed public evidence. Cohen, who has pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges and is cooperating with Mr. Mueller, still vehemently denies he ever went to Prague. No court filings indicate he has any knowledge of Trump collusion, and he has said he doesn’t. McClatchy news service has published two stories asserting that Mr. Mueller has evidence Cohen went to Prague. Fusion’s Mr. Simpson told Congress that Cohen could have traveled to Prague by way of a yacht and Russian aircraft.Daniel Jones, a former Senate Democratic aide, told the FBI in 2017 that he had amassed $50 million from wealthy donors to keep investigating Mr. Trump. He said he hired Fusion GPS and Mr. Steele.⦁ Accusation: Carter Page met with two Putin operatives and discussed a brokerage fee in return for pushing an end to U.S. sanctions on wealthy Russians and businesses. .................... Today: Pro-Russia energy investor Mr. Page embarked on perhaps the most suspicious course of action when he traveled to Moscow to deliver a public college speech in July 2106. He once worked in Moscow as a Merrill Lynch banker.The FBI wiretapped him for one year based largely on the dossier. No evidence has emerged publicly that he ever met with Putin people or discussed bribes. He has told the FBI and Congress that he didn’t. He has not been charged. ........................... ⦁ Accusation: Mr. Page and campaign chairman Paul Manafort worked as a team to coordinate election interference with the Kremlin. .................................................. Today: No public evidence to support this scenario. The two say they don’t know each other and have never spoken. Manafort stands convicted of tax fraud and other charges. Mr. Mueller has made no court filing that indicates he is involved in a Russian election conspiracy.Manafort attorney Kevin Downing filed a court paper saying he asked Mr. Mueller for any evidence of his client talking to Russian government officials. There was none, the attorney said. ........................................ ⦁ Accusation: Mr. Trump actively supported ongoing computer hacking. .................................................. Today: No public evidence. ...................... ⦁ Accusation: The Trump “team” paid Russian hackers. .......................................... Today: No public evidence. Mr. Mueller brought indictments against the Russian intelligence officers who did the hacking and stole emails released by WikiLeaks. There is no indication that the funding came from Trump people. ⦁ Accusation:Mr. Trump maintained an eight-year relationship with Kremlin operatives in quid pro quo intelligence-sharing. .............................bToday: No public evidence. .......................... ⦁ Accusation: Russian entrepreneur Aleksej Gubarev, owner of computer server provider XBT Holding, hacked the Democrats under pressure from Moscow intelligence. ........................... Today: No public evidence. Mr. Gubarev’s attorneys say no U.S. authority has asked to interview him. The Mueller indictment against Russian hackers doesn’t mention XBT.A U.S. District judge dismissed Mr. Gubarev’s libel lawsuit against BuzzFeed but not because the dossier is true. The judge ruled that BuzzFeed, which had published the unverified memos, was protected from libel because the FBI and intelligence agencies were using the dossier in their probes.Mr. Gubarev is suing Mr. Steele for defamation in a London court. Mr. Steele has signed declarations saying his allegations needed to be investigated further. ............................. https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/30/michael-steeles-russia-dossier-donald-trump-fails-/ ......................

I stopped posting about the Mueller investigation and collusion etc. Everyone knows from Nancy Pelosi down to all the forum liberals that the mueller investigation is about two things, making trumps Presidency as difficult as possible and tearing him down in front of the population and to dig and dig until they can find anything about anything.

Everyone knows it now, if there were any collusion they would have had him in the first 6 months

Also, the author of the "dossier" was on an FBI blacklist- because he got caught lying to the FBI; under FBI policy they stop using informants once they are placed on that list.

It is a coup attempt. It covered Crooked Hillary's and Obama's crimes.
