Donald Trump thought that he was going to undermine the midterm election, but his document dump provided evidence that he colluded with Russia for election help.

I mean maybe these documents are now declassified but the story never changed.

The same thing was found in the bipartisan investigation done for the 2016 election Trump won, and his own admin was part of the investigation. (The Mueller Report went into some of it).

It's what led to him being impeached and the Senate not giving a fuck because it would hurt the party to find a person they knew was guilty, guilty because he was the "face" of the Republicans at that point.

As someone who actually watched that impeachment trial ... So much ... So so sooooo much overwhelming evidence of his guilt and his campaign colluding with Russia.

It really is insane how you can just make a quip like "collusion delusion" and people write off a metric fuck ton of evidence that was (and still is) available to the public.

Really goes to show just how easy it is to con people and drive a false narrative.
