Stone Sentencing Ends Russia Collusion, Part I

Hehe!
The Roger Stone sentencing farce is as fitting an end to the Russia Collusion saga as one could conjure up . . .  though it might be more fitting to call it the end of Russia Collusion, Part I. No sooner did the first flick conclusively bomb than the media-Democrat complex was issuing the casting call for Russia Collusion, Part II.
In the sequel, you’re asked to believe that Putin is manipulating the chesspieces to steal a second term for President Trump – somehow preferring an incumbent who beefs up the U.S. armed forces, pressures NATO allies to beef up theirs, imposes painful sanctions on Moscow, provides lethal aid to Ukraine, ramps up U.S. energy production, and seeks to thwart the Kremlin’s coveted natural-gas partnership with Germany, over an unabashed socialist who honeymooned in the Soviet Union and whose policies would wreck the American economy, end the resurgence of American energy production, and hollow out the American armed forces. [Andrew McCarthy in good form....]

Ok, McCarthy is a registered Republican, with a few out-there theories about Obama... but these are still good points, aren’t they? They’re factual and to me powerful arguments against the “Trump as Russian stooge” narrative. 
And if we look back at the whole saga of “Russian collusion”, ending in the Mueller Report, which found none, isn’t it CNN, et al, who have consistently misread the situation? So, as they are likely doing now: their take being that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election in favour of Bernie, so that Bernie will be the Dems nominee and make it easier for Trump to win!  Pretty baroque.  
When the alternative is that Russia are funding Bernie (if indeed they are), because they prefer Bernie?  
I mean, Occam’s razor and all.
