Richard Burr looks to be picking up right where Devin Nunes left off, so it seemed like a good time to remind him of the five clear examples of collusion he's apparently forgotten: themoscowproject.org/dispatch/burrs…

There's the time Donald Trump Jr. enthusiastically accepted dirt on Clinton "as part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump."

There's the time Roger Stone allegedly developed a backchannel to WikiLeaks at the explicit direction of top Trump campaign officials. themoscowproject.org/dispatch/the-s…

There's the time a suspected Russian intel operative gave George Papadopoulos a heads-up that Russia had hacked emails from the Clinton campaign and planned to release them.

There's the time Carter Page, whom U.S. intelligence has repeatedly assessed may be a Russian agent, traveled to Moscow during the election to meet with top Russian officials, with the explicit blessing of campaign leadership. themoscowproject.org/dispatch/nunes…

And there's the time Paul Manafort met with a man he knew had ongoing ties to Russian intelligence to discuss private polling data and a "peace plan" for Ukraine, which just happens to be one of the Kremlin's top foreign policy goals.

And of course there are all the members of Trump's inner circle who keep pleading guilty, including his campaign chairman, deputy campaign chairman, national security adviser, and personal attorney. themoscowproject.org/dispatch/inter…

All of that—not to mention those 100+ contacts between the campaign and Russia—sounds like pretty "direct evidence of a conspiracy" to us. themoscowproject.org/explainers/tru…

So why is Burr going out of his way to muddy the waters for the public? Is he running an investigation—or just another effort at interference on Trump's behalf? themoscowproject.org/dispatch/burrs…
