The Mueller report was clear in its findings that there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives. The report never used the word because “collusion” is not a crime. But for the President and other “spinners” to say there was no evidence of collusion in the report is as absurd as it is insulting. The report did not find the intent necessary to spell out a crime of conspiracy; however, the report outlines such collusive transactions as Trump’s campaign chairman sending polling data on the key battleground states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Minnesota to Russia.

With respect to the Trump Tower meeting, even before the Mueller report was issued, the late Charles Krauthammer, a respected conservative commentator, told Fox News: “This was a bungled collusion. This was amateurish collusion. This was Keystone Kops collusion. But it doesn’t change the fact that it was attempted collusion and it undoes the White House story completely.”
