No, the previous comment brought up Trump, which is clearly alluding to "Russian collusion".

I'm fine with distaste for Trump and the realities of disinformation campaigns, but the focus of the Twitter files in this regard is clearly specific to the false Russia Trump connection propagated by Dem polticians and leftists.

There's enough there to remain suspicious. The Trump campaign hid their meetings with Russians (see Flynn's transition meetings). They lied about the purpose of the Trump tower meetings. They have claimed financial ties to Russian financial institutions in the past.

None of these things are "false connections propagated by Dem politicians and leftists". They have made these connections evident through their own admissions, and denials.

There is certainly a narrative that drives beyond what we have evidence for, but it's absurd to pretend these things were only propagated from political rivals trying to attack their rivals.

>There's enough there to remain suspicious.

Honestly, after years of the Democrats throwing everything they can at Trump, still nothing. Yet you persist.

Switch your focus to Biden perhaps, the current corrupt president that mishandled classified documents, has made a fortune off his political position.... see the similarities here? No? Of course not.

Which makes the comment I was replying to (which is the comment one level above mine, not two levels above mine) even more incorrect, as it claims that the Twitter files prove that Russian meddling did not occur, which is a claim orders of magnitude broader than the claim that Trump-Russian collusion did not occur.

The trump crime family is demonstrably highly connected to russian oligarchs and russia generally.
