Ezra Klein of Vox is a good indicator of "liberal thought" in DC. Today, he manifests the wishful thinking that is infecting the reason of the left with regard to Trump-Russia. He has written a long article in which he says two important things. First, there is no smoking gun that indicates any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians in 2016. Second, with these indictments, it is "impossible" to believe that the Trump campaign did not collude with the Russians.
Think about that. There is nothing in the indictments that indicates any collusion. There's a low-level volunteer who spoke to someone from Russia and who tried to arrange further meetings with both the candidate and the high level people in the campaign. Those attempts were refused; the effort went nowhere --according to the indictment. So with no new evidence, it is now impossible to believe there was no collusion. The problem, however, is not that there is no new evidence. No, the problem is that there is NO EVIDENCE. So now, based upon nothing but wishful thinking, the left is concluding that there must have been collusion. That's just wrong.
I don't know what else Mueller has found. His well planned leaks indicate to me that he doesn't really have anything. When the indictment was sealed, somehow the whole world knew (and the only possible source of the leaks was Mueller.) We keep seeing well placed leaks. My guess is that if there were any proof of collusion, it would have been leaked out by now. So one year after the election and over one and a half years after the FBI started investigating, there is still no evidence of collusion. In a rational world, that would lead to the conclusion that there was no collusion. Sadly, DC and particularly the left in DC does not constitute a rational world.
