Donald J. Trump has a “no collusion” fetish.<\/p>\n

He keeps invoking the “no collusion” mantra even when it’s irrelevant to the issue of the day.<\/p>\n

Take the Paul Manafort sentence handed down the other day. The president’s former campaign chairman got a 47-month sentence for tax fraud and assorted other crimes. None of them had a thing <\/em>to do with the allegations that the campaign “colluded” with Russians who attacked our electoral system in 2016.<\/p>\n

Yet there was the president of the United States, crowing about how the judge found no evidence of collusion with Russians.<\/p>\n

Hey, Mr. President? That issue isn’t even on the table in this discussion. Manafort’s sentence didn’t have a single thing to do with collusion.<\/p>\n

Oh, and Mr. President, we’re still awaiting Robert Mueller report that he supposedly is preparing to submit to Attorney General William Barr.<\/p>\n

That is where we’re going to find out — more than likely — whether there is any Russian hanky-panky related to your 2016 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

So . . . POTUS needs to settle down and wait for the report silently.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, I know. I’m asking for the impossible.<\/p>\n\n
