The main takeaway from informal presidential adviser Roger Stone's arraignment Tuesday is that the Russian collusion narrative has collapsed.
In Washington, D.C., on Jan. 29, 2019.Roger Stone indictment isn't good news for those seeking Trump impeachment.
Roger Stone 2017 flashback: Russian collusion? It's a delusion.
There's still no evidence of collusion with RussiaWhat this story indicates is that the Trump campaign didn't have close ties to WikiLeaks, and no knowledge about what was in the emails, which presumably it would have if there were collusion afoot.
Though investigations have found 100 contacts between members of the Trump circle and a variety of Russians during the 2016 campaign, none of the reported communications offers clear evidence of election tampering, quid pro quos, prior knowledge of dirty tricks, or anything else that would confirm the collusion narrative.
While Brennan has more recently called President Donald Trump's denial of collusion "Hogwash," he still cannot produce evidence to support the charge.
What happened to Democratic Sen. Mark Warner's claim, later promoted by Hillary Clinton, that there were 1,000 Russian agents planting anti-Hillary fake news stories in key swing states in 2016? Or that Russians had delivered Wisconsin to Trump? Or that the election was decided by $100,000 in clumsily executed Facebook ads?
