There was collusion, so much collusion we’re swimming it! That’s according to bombastic CNN host Chris Cuomo and washed up Watergate-era reporter Carl Bernstein. Not only was there “a ton of collusion” but if you didn’t realize that after reading the Mueller Report, you’re just not that smart and too political, they declared late Thursday afternoon.
Despite the many “bombshells” reports that blew up in the media’s collective faces over the last two years, Bernstein insisted the Special Counsel report was “the connective tissue that explains everything almost we've been reporting over the past two years.”
Among their false narratives was there claim President Trump colluded with Russia and was really a Russian spy asset. According to Bernstein they only people who could see that evidence in Robert Mueller’s report were smart, good people: “It’s here in substance, in nuance, in context and it is there for all people of good will in this country, if they are not so dug in politically or ideologically to process information and make some sophisticated judgments about the behavior of everybody I've mentioned here.”
Cuomo was in full agreement that only smart people could find collusion in the report. He even argued that Mueller had found so much collusion that you shouldn’t try to deny it:
Sophisticated judgment is the operative phrase because I don't know how, in good conscious, if you have a dose of shame in you -- and you want to support the President, that is fine, stick to criminality. Stay away from the word collusion, because there is a ton of collusion. There is a ton of clever secretive behavior and Mueller lays it all out. The idea that there is nothing in here or that it was a witch hunt or this is a hoax, I don't know how they make that case in good conscious any more.
