#2 Fascinating to read this in The Hill, which isn’t one of the so-called far-right alternative media news outlets that will be blocked as fake news by the Microsoft’s new NewsGuard browser extension, but along with the Washington Post is read by Deep State insiders. Are they preparing their readers for a soft landing on this thing? The piece winds up as follows:

The last two years often seem like a concerted effort to disprove “Occam’s Razor,” the theory that the simplest explanation is usually the right one. As long hoped for links fell through, more complex theories filled the void of collusion. Yet, the simplest explanation still remains most likely, that the Trump campaign, like virtually every reporter and political operative in Washington, wanted to see the WikiLeaks material and any dirt on the Clintons, just as the Clinton campaign paid for any dirt on Trump. The Russian efforts to influence our elections also is neither novel nor new.

Indeed, the United States has engaged in hacking not just our enemies but our allies, as well as intervening in the elections of other countries, just as many of those same countries attempt against us. There is nothing “tantalizing” or “mysterious” in such an explanation, because it is more factual than aspirational. The boring truth here is that criminal collusion theories are weaker today than they were a year ago. While Mueller has found ample basis to charge people with false statements, the record of these filings shows more confusion than collusion in the Trump campaign.

#4 Ok, Frank, but they chose to publish it, and it has over two thousand fevered comments and a similar number of shares.
