Gowdy did not say "collusion." Gowdy said, "It is also clear, based on the evidence, Russia had disdain for Secretary Clinton and was motivated in whole or in part by a desire to harm her candidacy or undermine her Presidency had she prevailed." He's not talking about collusion. He's talking about Russian efforts to influence the election in favor of Trump.

And I'm also stating my firm opinion that if he had said the opposite, Fox News would have covered it.

And I'm also stating my opinion that one of the biggest reasons we are so polarized is that most of us pick news sources that don't disturb our pre-existing opinions on the issues. Did the Russians intervene in our election in an attempt to defeat Hillary Clinton and get Trump elected? I know one thing for sure- if they did, you'll never hear it from Fox News.

Trey Gowdy has stated this before, as has many other conservatives. It’s not a ground breaking revelation. The unfortunate part for the MSM is it lends absolutely no credibility to the collusion accusations. You got worked up over nothing. I’m sure Rachel would be glad to run for a half hour with it, though. You know, like the big Trump tax form scandal.

I'm not talking about collusion. I'm talking about how Trump supporters do not want to admit that they might have won the election because Putin helped them win. With or without their knowledge and collusion. And Fox News, which has decided to be an arm of the Trump White House, has decided they'd rather not cover the possibility that Putin fostered a covert operation to help Trump win the White House.
