Clouding issues

Issues are often clouded by combining related points in a misleading way. A good example is including legal immigration with illegal immigration. More recently are the stories about Russian interference in the 2016 election. They interfered by placing ads on social media but they did not collude with Trump. The NY Times columnist Bret Stephens wrote that Trump did collude with the Russias but later changed. Stephens also admitted the Russian collusion narrative - "the Steele dossier and all the bogus allegations, credulously parroted in the mainstream media, that flowed from it" - that marred Trump's presidency was an "elaborate hoax" and that "there’s just no other word for it". US President Donald Trump's campaign did not conspire with Russia during the 2016 election, a summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report says. This investigation lasted 22 months and cost $32 million dollars. Special counsel John Durham concluded that the FBI should never have launched a full investigation into connections between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia during the 2016 election. This investigation lasted four years and cost $6.5 million. In spite of this the Internet is filled with stories that maintain the Trump/Russia connection is true. Right now, the public is clamoring for the Epstein case to be investigated but will the results be ignored. Are government investigation only good for the fees attorneys earn. As long as the politicians can keep the American voters at each other’s throats they are safe from any investigation and the public is more than happy to oblige.
