In my view, most of the Trump-Putin collusion stories are nonsense, as is the notion that Russia played a significant role in Trump's victory over Clinton. I see a reaction in this regard from liberals and centrists that is similar to the reaction from conservatives and centrists in 2003 to the charge that Saddam Hussein was somehow in cahoots with Al Qaeda in the 9/11 attacks. The evidence was bogus, but anyone pointing that out would be accused of being a sympathizer with the demons involved -- Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
Similarly today, anyone pointing the bogus nature of the Trump-Putin collusion charges is branded a supporter of Trump and/or Putin. Just in the Iraq War, the end result will be disastrous if emotion is allowed to overcome reason. The Iraq War proved to be damaging to U.S. credibility and thus to our efforts to combat Islamic terrorists. Liberals and centrists threaten to similarly damage their credibility. There is plenty to criticize in the Republican party and Trump administrative without making bogus charges which will end up supporting the Republican case.
