Mueller indictments still miss the mark on Trump-Russia collusion

By special counsel Robert Mueller of 13 Russians for interfering with the 2016 presidential election.

Let's see if you can spot it: The Russian defendants "Communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump campaign."

Despite a 37-page indictment with a long narrative on a coordinated Russian campaign of interference, the most newsworthy fact comes from the carefully placed adjective "Unwitting." It confirms that the special counsel has found no knowing coordination or collusion between these hackers and Trump officials.

The indictment names 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities in alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election.

For over a year, some of us have been questioning the weekly "Bombshells" announced on cable programs of criminal Russian collusion.

There is still no evidence of anyone "Wittingly" or knowingly colluding with these Russians.

The indictment says that the Russian efforts began in 2014, long before the candidacy of Trump.
