Is It Possible That Trump Didn’t Collude With Russia, But Obama Did?
Anything is possible, but some things are less possible than others. The term collusion in this context is often used interchangeably with conspiracy obstruction and perjury. The Republican Party is suggesting that President Obama did not push hard enough to counter Russian influence before the election. However, there is very little concrete evidence to support this allegation.
Washington GOP representatives argue that the Obama administration failed to take decisive actions to prevent Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Yet, the evidence they cite is largely anecdotal. There were no secret meetings with witnesses, no lifting of sanctions, and no clear actions that would have made sense in this context.
If the case against Obama is as strong as the Republicans claim, they have not elaborated on the specific evidence or the reasons behind it. The lack of clear evidence and the impetus for such an investigation are perplexing. The Obama administration was the first to sound the alarm about Russian attempts to hack state election systems. How would it make sense for Obama to endorse Hillary Clinton and then work to undermine her candidacy?
Or Is This Just Fiction?
Just as Alex Jones or flat earthers could be believed in their claims, the idea that Obama colluded with Russia is as unsupported as other wildly speculative theories. The promotion of a Russian intelligence officer by the name of Lieutenant-Colonel Obamov Boris Husseinovich to the rank of colonel after a successful operation to return Crimea to Russian Federation is a conspiracy theory in itself.
Like many other conspiracy theories, the notion of Obama colluding with Russia lacks substantive evidence. While Republicans have their own investigators, their attempts have yielded little. In contrast, special counsel Robert Mueller, a Republican, has secured guilty pleas and convictions from several individuals involved in the Russia probe. This suggests a certain level of transparency and honesty in one investigation, while the other remains shrouded in mystery and suspicion.
Is There Really a Conspiracy?
Republican critics argue that the reason they cannot find evidence of Obama colluding with Russia is the better hiding skills of the Democrats. However, this claim is tenuous at best. If the Democrats were smarter, why are the Republican Prosecutors unable to present a case in court? The lack of concrete evidence and the speculative nature of the claims against Obama and Hillary Clinton further highlight the superficiality of these allegations.
In conclusion, the notion that Obama colluded with Russia is as baseless and far-fetched as many other conspiracy theories. The republican investigators have failed to provide concrete evidence, while the special counsel has succeeded in securing convictions. As with any conspiracy theory, it is essential to rely on evidence and credible sources, rather than unproven claims and speculation.
