During the Trump campaign, all of America watched Trump conspire with Russia.

He did right in right in front of our faces. That's what makes this nightmare so insane.

Trump asked (on TV) Russia to find Clintons e-mails. My jaw dropped when I heard him say that. I thought to myself, that's the end of his campaign. He just asked our enemy to help him. It did not happen.

Not too long after he said that, the Democrats had their e-mails hacked. The news media reported this.

It was later reported by the news media and by Obama and the Democrats it MAY have been Russia who did it. Obama and the Democrats were concerned if they pushed to hard about what was going on, Trump, the Republicans in congress and the right wing news media would claim they were misleading the public in order to win the election.

Right away, Trump, Stone, the right wing news media all got on the same page and started saying it was not Russia, No collusion. They were telling us they were guilty.

Then Trump started saying, I love wiki-leaks over and over again.

We knew, the news media knew, the Democrats knew that Trump was conspiring with Russia.

Now everyone is waiting for Mueller to give us the proof that Trump conspired with Russia. We had the proof a long time ago.

1. A fable.

Once upon a time there was a magician who specialized in an act with birds. He loved his birds and constantly talked to them during the act and they loved him. There was one trick he did where a bird disappeared from a cage and reappeared in another. Other magicians tried to recreate the trick and absolutely could not. They were stumped.

The mystery wasn't resolved until after the magician died and other magicians had a chance to inspect his apparatus. The secret of the trick was rock simple: at the moment the bird "disappeared", a spring-loaded false bottom on the cage smashed the bird flat. Every time he did the trick, he killed one of his beloved birds.

This is how Trump et al. did the trick: not by being clever, but by being so craven and evil that no one could believe what was happening in plain sight was really happening.

Note: you know the story if you saw the movie, "The Prestige."
