Every time Trump tweets about "Clinton's collusion with Russia," understand what he's saying: that contrary to the assessment of all U.S. intelligence agencies, Putin wanted *Clinton* to win, so he directed Kremlin agents to assist a British spy in taking down Trump via a dossier
1/ Never mind that the said British spy can't even *enter* Russia for fear of being killed, or that Putin's hatred for Clinton is *internationally infamous*, or that not *one* scrap of evidence has emerged in over *two years* that Putin knew of the dossier as it was being created
2/ I mention this because too often we let Trump's domestic disinformation silently wash over us, and too often the media so quickly dismisses it that it never gets covered, all of which keeps us from realizing how batshit crazy and dishonest what Trump's tweeting daily really is
3/ Remember also that when Trump first began attacking the dossier, he didn't say it was evidence of Clinton-Russia collusion (as that would've been too preposterous), he just said it was a con job; the "collusion" allegation arose only as Mueller closed in on *him* on collusion
4/ Where we are now, and both voters and media need to recognize this daily, is that a common claim from Trump and his allies isn't just made up and wrong but so preposterously and transparently disingenuous and desperate and without evidence it's like claiming a Bigfoot sighting
5/ Moreover, when you push back on Trump or people like Jim Jordan on the Clinton-Russia collusion claim, all they'll do is start talking about how the dossier is made up, and will never explain the sequence of events that could possibly lead to the conclusion Putin was behind it
6/ Even better than any of this is the hilarious realization that if Steele's dossier had been a Clinton-Russia production, why in the world would he have gone to the *FBI* with it, knowing that that's the only place you could take it where it'd disappear until after the election
