What's this?

He said he couldn't prove a conspiracy. He was very far from saying it

was a witch hunt. In fact he provides numerous examples of (most importantly) interference by the Russians, and several examples of suspicious contacts between campaign officials and Russian personnel during and right after the campaign. Proving collusion or conspiracy - really high bar, not something I ever expected to see.

I know your partisan brain wants to make this a "this extreme (guilty) or that extreme (witch hunt)" menu of options, but the truth is clearly in the middle. And the funny thing is, you know that if you took an exact replica of the Mueller report but it was looking into a dem admin, yours would be the loudest pro-impeachment voice. So even you, on some level, understand that this was never a "witch hunt".

Again, all these political disagreements are irrelevant to the call for an apology in this thread. That is about respect for the loved ones who've lost family, and there really shouldn't be anything political about that.
