But even getting only the jist of things - it seems quite clear that Trump's behaviour is deeply unethical and possibly deeply unpatriotic. Whenever Russians come along and offer things, in the clear and unhidden hope to gain advantage from that, one might think that a presidential candidate, let alone a president, would be wary about that. However, the report lays out several instances where Trump aides were willing to accept anything that was recieved through a hack, through wikileaks, through any sources that never had America's best interest in mind. They were enthusiastic about it. Is that patriotic? Is it conservative?

Trump doesn't care. But you should. You have values, unlike that man Trump who has none of those, you also have principles, beliefs. But with that traits, you're getting a fringe element in the conservative movement you consider to be that adult. The only thing I can say is, be fair. What if it were a democrat? Joe Biden using dirt on say Pence using illegal Iranian hacking to get to his damning material? Not a scandal? Not disqualifying?

Russia made no attempt to hide their goals, and team Trump was well aware of their deeds and welcomed it. How conservatives can be ok with that, this I will never get. I consider it a moral failing to overlook that. I also consider it a moral failing to go after democratrs and dismiss the damaging stuff in Mueller's report. History, I'd hope, doesn't take kindly on that.

First of all join the lazy group; it appears they're is only 2 of us. From what I understand. Trump was not POTUS when Russia meddled in the election. I further believe we should punish Russia for their involvement. I'm just not going to fabricate things because I feel a certain way. 

I've tried to be fair and simply asserted I'll let Congress decide, but I don't have the secret decoder ring. If Trump committed a crime he should be punished. If Trump did some "bad things" folks should consider them. But there are 2 many liberals trying too hard to make too much out of too little. If it were more we'd know by now, unless the nation is waiting for Bengals PnR forum to finish reading the report.
