It's all very humbling because I always thought of myself as being too smart and having too much healthy skepticism to ever fall for a grand conspiracy theory, but I was fully bought in to this one. That was in part because I sort of wanted it to be true, even though rationally I knew that its being true would be much worse for the country than its not being true. That Maddow video is compelling even now...
The biggest problem is that we don’t know what Trump said to the Russians. He has gone out of his way to obstruct justice into an investigation, and hide all notes about what he said to Putin when he met. I agree that’s not evidence of him being a traitor but is evidence that he wanted to hide something. Of course, he is a corrupt individual so it’s his natural reflex to obstruct justice. All we’re left with is a vacuum into which overinflated rhetoric will flow.
