Exactly, yet you are fine with them creating this hoax because it's Trump and they want Clinton to win. Why did it move forward, even though they new it was a hoax, less than 30 days later? They could have shut the whole hoax down, but they didn't. Then you have loud mouth news personalities spreading disinformation and the partisan consumption citizens parroting everything they say.Nothing there says that any of them knew it was false. It does say that the Intelligence Community does not know the accuracy of the allegation or the extent to which it may reflect exaggeration or fabrication
Why didn't they shut it down? We all know why.
This goes beyond the Clinton Campaign.I'm in a little bit of I would need to know more, some of which may not be known by anyone outside of the Clinton campaign.
I'm partially with some of this, but this is a whole different conversation.I'm not saying this with any specific confidence, but it does see to me that Trump did have some interaction with the Russian government. If that interaction was innocent or inappropriate I don't really know. I do know that the Muller report makes very clear that it was questionable and also that the Russian government did make significant attempts to influence the 2016 election in favor of Trump and that some of the people involved did commit crimes. Trump didn't necessarily have to be involved in Russia's efforts because Russia had every motivation to support Trump's campaign with or without Trump's involvement, knowledge or approval. Trump was pro-Russia, Clinton was very anti-Russia and also a very capable politician with deep connections all over Washington. Russia clearly saw that the choice was a friendly and incompetent to be President candidate in Trump and a hostile and extremely capable candidate in Clinton. It was a win-win (both a weakened and impotent U.S. administration along with a friendly whistle, if you will) for Russia if they could get Trump in the White House.
