Yes, God, God. God don't never change.

Welcome to Plotcast.

This is episode 86. Good to have you listening along.

Thanks for coming.

So, I want, as I'm recording this,

just a couple of days ago,

the Mueller report dropped. this is

Monday and the Mueller report dropped. This is Monday and the report was delivered last Friday I think.

And over the weekend, Attorney General Barr delivered his summary of the report and the report

and many millions of dollars later and a couple of years and lots of subpoenas and quite a bit of towing and

throwing. There was no evidence of collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign and no

basis for bringing a charge of obstruction of justice and so basically this is the whole thing is is all good. So well

it's all good if you're in Trump's corner it's all good from Trump's perspective. And there was much weeping and

gnashing of teeth and sobbing on the left and and what it boils down to is when you consider how thin the evidence was for collusion on the one hand,

for collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians on the one hand

and apparently the report indicates there was no collusion despite numerous attempts

on the part of the Russians to set something up.

There was a so there's on the one hand you've got the the proverbial nothing burger.

But the thing that's been odd or obvious and odd to the observer even from thousands of miles

either collusion or ineptitude or a combination of all those when you consider Hillary Clinton's

missing emails and the unsecured server and the pay-to-play operation of the Clinton Foundation and so on.
