In January, Trump claimed that the evidence of the FBI conspiracy was to be found in texts exchanged between two FBI employees who were supposedly biased against him. This conspiracy theory, too, did not survive first contact with reality. Oh, and did the FBI force the Trump campaign to meet with a Russian emissary and lie about it? A recent poll finds that 61 percent of Republicans think the FBI is framing Trump, and only 13 percent believe the special counsel’s investigation is legitimate. Trump is playing his followers for suckers, and they are merrily colluding in their own deception.
