Quickly scanning the thread, I do not see a single person explaining why the President said this, or why Rush Limbaugh said this. May I suggest you are all foolish to outright dismiss a big movement among Fox News and the Republican Party. You are not giving this subject the level of attention it deserves, given the amount of time and energy they spend on it.
You know neither their reasoning, or how to attack and dismantle it. Therefore you know nothing on how to persuade others on this subject. Were it to continue as it has, this thread would be nothing more than hollow chest thumping and a complete waste of everyone's time.
Simply put, their argument is that Trump's opponents used Hillary Clinton's paid-for fake Russian sourced dossier to lie before Federal Court in order to spy on their political opponent during the 2016 election, and then after losing the election they used it to start an investigation with the ultimate goal of achieving a coup against a duly elected President and against the results of the 2016 election. To disenfranchise voters and attack American democracy. Deep state, etc. "The biggest abuse of power / corruption in history".
That all this began with Hillary Clinton colluding with Russia to take down Trump.
Do not roll your eyes. Republicans believe this and you are ill prepared to prove otherwise, or to contest them politically.
It''s all just a rehash of Nunes' efforts. And it's also extremely weak sauce in the face of several federal convictions, confessions & indictments.
