Why do you think the conclusions of the Republican-controlled Senate Select Committee on Intelligence regarding Russian interference in our 2016 election should be automatically rejected, especially when the Mueller Investigation (conducted by Republican Robert Mueller) and our Intelligence agencies arrived at the same basic conclusions?


Libertarians are the worst.

Especially pro-Trump Libertarians.

Why do you keep making strawman arguments?

Okay, try this:

"What specific problems do you see with the conclusions of the Senate Select Committee investigation and the Mueller investigation, and why do you weigh the evidence differently than they did?"

Rephrased:

"I agree committees aren’t automatically right, as the HSCA showed. But in this specific case, why do you find the Senate Intelligence Committee’s conclusions on the degree of Russian interference unpersuasive, especially given the alignment with Mueller and the intelligence agencies?"


Regardless, here's a friendly reminder for you:

"Libertarians are the worst -- especially pro-Trump Libertarians."

Better a Libertarian than a Libtard

Liberals who, as have you, been zombified by sixty-plus years (it started in 1959) of KGB disinformation, "active measures," and mole-based strategic deception counterintelligence operations waged against us and our NATO allies are almost as bad as pro-Trump Libertarians.

Regardless, what specific problems do you see with the conclusions of Republican Robert Mueller and the Republican-controlled Senate Select Committee regarding the level of Russian interference in our 2016 election, and why do you weigh the evidence differently than they did?

Mueller's report stated his investigators “did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”

I don't have a problem with that.

You didn't answer the question I asked you.

I asked you why you disagree with the report by (Republican) Robert Mueller and the report by the (Republican-controlled) Senate Select Committee on Intelligence regarding the level of Russian anti-Clinton / pro-Trump interference in our 2016 election.

Care to give it another shot?

The Mueller Investigation found that the Trump Campaign had an expectation of benefit from the Russian email hack-and-release operation.

Why have neither you nor William Barr made any mention of this?

I don't answer questions based on false premises.
