You seem irritated by reading or seeing this version of what's going on.  Is that because your mind is already made up, and don't want to accept the possibility that Mr. Robinson's version could be wrong?

:) Not really, no. I'm not irritated at all, I am well aware of that version, it's Trump's version after all. I just do not trust this version, as it is rooted in speculation and partisanship. Which is hard to deny. Also, there's indeed quite a lengthy history - just like Adam Schiff said - of spins like those that have never been proven true or proven not to be true. (Obama wiretapped me! The debunked Steele dossier started the investigation! FISA abuse! Secret society within the FBI! and so on.)

And of course Mr. Robinson could be wrong, although I feel he lays out his case quite convincingly and I do think it's way closer to actual events than the "Obama sent a political spy" version. But, I don't really know, how could I.

Lastly, again, oinion piece vs. journalism. If FOX news disclaimed that Hannity et al. "don't necessarily represent the network's view"... but ok. They don't do that, they present every Trump-defending theory as fact. Which makes the finger pointing at an opinion piece clearly marked as such a little odd.
