I am not even a Trump fan. Did a write in for the election. I did not vote for either one if them, si I have no opinion either way.
I am calling bullshit on this entire circus freak show. I have not seen fcking anything that shows russian/trump collusion. There is not a shred of evidence that proves any of this! I am tired of hearing thus crap with so many other pressing issues that need to be addressed.
Kushner however I have concerns with! I believe he has his own agenda.

Donald Trump is telling the world that James Comey, America’s former top cop, promised him that he wasn’t being investigated for what’s increasingly looking like Treason, and that this must be some sort of evidence that he in fact isn’t being investigated.
Obviously, it isn’t evidence of any such thing. And as someone who’s been in court and on the verge of being arrested for most of his adult life, Trump knows that it isn’t.
The police are prohibited from using physical or psychological coercion when conducting police interrogations. A confession or evidence that results from coercive tactics is inadmissible at trial.
The police, for example, may not use torture techniques, threats, drugging, or inhumane treatment during an interrogation. The police, however, can use lying, trickery, and other types of non-coercive methods to obtain a confession from a suspect. Bluffing is a common – and legal – tool… and the art of artifice in obtaining confessions is a standard part of police training. The parameters for what police can lie about are broad, and lies can range from claiming to have evidence that does not exist to fibbing that a witness was at the scene
I mean really, what would anyone expect the country’s top investigator to tell a suspect who they’re hoping will further implicate themselves with more illegal activity when asked if they’re under investigation? Furthermore, what would anyone expect of a detective investigating someone who may be guilty of Treason or some other crime involving US intelligence or a hostile foreign power? Does anyone honestly believe an investigator would oblige a suspect in a case like that with the truth about an ongoing investigation? Is anyone outside of Trump’s 30% of fascist racist supporters even remotely fooled by that? No.
Of course in that situation, Comey, like almost any police officer... would lie to a suspect like Trump, in order to keep them off guard.
Anyone with any common sense knows this.
Even if Comey actually told Trump that he wasn’t being investigated, which is very questionable since it’s information coming from the biggest liar on the planet, it would be meaningless in determining whether the FBI had Trump in their crosshairs.
Any police detective could tell you that. Anyone who’s ever watched TV could tell you that. Anyone who’s ever known anyone who had any interaction with the police could tell you that.
If this argument is all Trump is left with at this point… he’s desperate, lost, and flailing.
