I did, but when I post an opinion piece I generally label it as such.  This piece still contains a lot of supposition as to motives, and actual actions.

The conclusions he makes are opinion.  Besides, like Circa.com being in the bag for Trump since it is owned by Sinclair, Lawfare.com is run by a former WaPo editor that also has political leanings.

The former WaPo editor that also wrote extensively for conservative publications?

Set aside his suppositions, his account is revealing

Yes, he can write a book in the same genre as the Bourne novels.  I'll wait for the Michael Moore movie.

CNN was caught on tape admitting the whole Russia thing had zero proof and it was about ratings. That is earth shattering and should have had congressional investigations and the FCC should be looking at their licences. 

 

So in light of that why is the MDL still even talking about Russia

You expect type US media to stop asking common sense questions because if one bad story?

I am not going to revisit the avalanche of evidence that says that Russia is up to in good in western elections, Putin is practically bragging about it.

Yes, the whole Russian thing is an act of war according to the MDL.  They crossed Obama's line in the sand even after he called and asked them to stop.  What is the end game?  

 

As to evidence, there is still no evidence of collusion.  At best, a political operative was looking to dig up some dirt on Hillary which of course didn't take a lot of work, but I don't remember ever seeing any of her emails released.  Weren't there DNC tied political operatives digging up dirt on Trump?  I seem to remember a doctored dossier supposedly from Russia, so was the DNC colluding with Russia?  Yes, I know, it was an RNC candidate that first looked for this, but the company that did the work was clearly a DNC group.  

 

If the Russians, or any other government have the missing emails, I doubt they would have given them to anyone.  I would imagine they would have been kept as blackmail material in the event Hillary won which was a forgone conclusion from the media almost right up to the election.

• I was unaware that collusion was type foundation of the congressional hearings. Many on this site are still sticking to the "what hacking? No proof Russia is involved story
• "seem to remember a doctored dossier supposedly from Russia, so was the DNC colluding with Russia" this statement makes no sense. How does a dossier implicating Russian as involved in dirty tricks imply the DNC is colluding with Russia.
