I don't want to work up another long post refuting points. I just want to ask you a couple of questions to help focus critique.
Do you agree with K. that if the FBI/CIA assign "probable" to an intel assessment, that means they have no proof?
Do you agree that "the media" have claimed Trump was a Putin "puppet," and that weapons shipments to the Ukraine (allegedly Trump's) prove them wrong?
I don't agree with his claim that "probably" means that they have no proof.
But I also don't like that my CIA is using the word "probably" in an assessment of something as important as a Russian investigation. It leaves a gray area where there shouldn't be.
Both can be true.
You also left out sanctions and the pipeline. Why focus only on 1/3 of the evidence? Kyle is dead right in that assessment. It defies the logic that Trump is a Putin puppet. It always has. If you still actually (or ever) believe(d) that Trump is a Putin puppet, then I have no words. It only ever made sense to those with a deep, unhealthy, and irrational hatred of him.
