This is not a debatable issue. This is not fake news. This is not a witch hunt.

NYT: This is not a debatable issue. This is not fake news. This is not a witch hunt. This happened.


Dwindling Odds of Coincidence
Charles M. Blow APRIL 3, 2017


We are still not conclusively able to connect the dots on the question of whether there was any coordination or collusion between members of Donald Trump’s campaign and the Russians who interfered in our election to benefit him, but those dots do continue to multiply at an alarming rate.

First, and we have to keep saying this because this fact keeps getting obscured in the subterfuge of deflection, misdirection and ideological finger-pointing about what has yet to be proven: It is absolutely clear that the Russians did interfere in our election. This is not a debatable issue. This is not fake news. This is not a witch hunt. This happened.

The investigations, rightly, are seeking to figure out exactly how and to what degree, and those questions obviously depend on knowing more about campaign contacts with Russian meddlers.

................

The journalistic caution in me keeps having to write that these could all be coincidences, but the journalistic instinct has learned long ago that coincidence is the albino alligator of political reality: It exists, but is exceedingly rare.

the rest:

They can't conclusively connect the dots.  They can't connect the dots in any way, shape, or form.  That makes it fake news and a witch hunt--that is what is not debatable.

Obama wiretapped Trump--you don't even have to connect any dots when Evelyn Farkas goes on TV and brags about it.  It's not debatable, it's not fake news, it's not a witch hunt, and Barry doesn't get an apology.  Suck on that, lurking primitive shitgibbons.

When Trump said that the election was rigged, the leftists mocked him and called him anti-American.

If there are any pro-American people left in the democrat party, they need to support the peaceful transfer of power to the legitimately elected president.

4. The burden of proof isn't "conclusive."

In terms of criminal prosecution, it's beyond a reasonable doubt. For our purposes, here, it's far less. In fact I respectfully suggest that WE, THE PEOPLE have an absolute right to know that our president isn't a traitor and the burden of proof is on Trump and his handlers, or whatever they are.
Barry spied on Trump.  That is known way, way beyond a reasonable doubt.

7. only one sane course of action - invalidate the election and have a revote!
The senate democrats could filibuster until the government agrees to a revote.

If there were any facts proving collusion between President Trump and the Russians then they would have been leaked already by the Marxist sympathizers left from Obama's regime.

There was no collusion, so all they can do is keep looking for these imaginary "facts" to undermine President Trump.

Charles Blow is a whacko. His opinion pieces over the years confirm this to be the case. His beliefs and the truth seldom have anything in common. This is not a debatable issue. I would sooner believe one of the primitives than I would him, which is to say, his "truth" and opinions are unworthy of any consideration.

Will Susan Rice be subpoenaed by congress?
Will she plead the 5th?
Will she throw Obama under the bus for immunity?
Is Obama asking Hillary to help get rid of the Rice problem?

There's no dots to connect. Former Obama people have all the transcripts or recordings of the phone calls. Either the MSM have seen/heard them and know there's no "dots" to connect, or they have not but realize there's no reason for the Obama people not to leak the contents, and therefore there's no "dots" to connect. It's a smoke-and-mirrors- game to make it look like there's there there when there's nothing there.

And to be blunt:

Whatever happened to "Innocent until proven guilty"? That principle establishes that the burden of proof ALWAYS lies with the person making the accusation.

You have to go to the NYT webpage to be sure of it, but this is kpete's "comment", not part of the NYT article:

... the rest:

Evidently, kpete doesn't understand the title of the section in which Charles Blow article is located: "The Opinion Pages". It's kpete; I quoted the only words that are actually hers. As for Charles Blow, well, he's noteworthy for partisanship, not facts. And maybe as a race-baiter.

No, "Star Member Cary", the burden of proof is always on the accusers. It's a principle that is at least 3500 years old, and was designed by Someone with greater understanding of human nature than you could begin to comprehend to protect innocent people from false accusers and conspiracy-theory lunatics.

Since there isn't any actual news in the NYT excerpt, just polemic and demogoguery against Trump, yeah, it IS fake news.  Which isn't surprising, considering the source.

LAT is having itself some fake news too. Read this and if your schadenboner doesn't go up on the Rockwell scale I don't know what will make it.

This is not an original from The Onion or the DUmp. This is what the LAT editorial board put together.
