I think it would be illuminating to determine the percentage of Red's  total posts that obsess over 2016.and early 2017. 

Those were happier times for Republicans, when Trump hadn't really got started on buggering America till it bleeds.    And all matters of grievance could still be blamed on Obama.    And demonic Democratic elites.

And why you do not.
To understand the pure evil of the Russian hoax you need to study how it began. Hence 2016-17.

To whom?

What would it tell us that we don't already know? How many holes it takes to fill his head?

To understand the pure evil of the Trump administration, you need only glance at almost any of Ward's denials.

At most, Ward can claim, "Just because the president and his team engaged in corruption throughout the campaign and his administration doesn't mean they necessarily did anything illegal... at least not that you can prove!"

And he does, repeatedly.

A hostile foreign power intervenes in our elections to help install their preferred candidate.
The active administration applies sanctions to punish the hostile foreign power for interfering with our democratic process.
The hostile foreign power’s preferred candidate has an underling call them up and say it’s all good, they will get away with it.


Except the second part of your post has a conclusion that did not happen 
I don t know why you made it up since the entire conversation was recorded.

The Trump Administration has refused to allow the release of the contents of these totally normal above-board calls despite a judges order to do so.

We know that Russia reached out to Flynn after Obama announced sanctions.  We know from court filings that those sanctions were discussed in those calls. We know after they talked Russia announced it would not retaliate. We know Trump publicly applauded that decision. And we know the contents of that call were enough to justify an FBI investigation in the opinion of a Trump-appointed IG who investigated the matter.  One that went beyond the Logan Act.

You’ve pulled that tin foil hat over your eyes if you are really pretending to not know what was said in those calls.
ROFL!

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/02/15/515437291/intelligence-official-transcripts-of-flynns-calls-dont-show-criminal-wrongdoing


The intelligence official who has personally seen the transcripts told Mary Louise (NPR)they contained "no evidence" of criminal wrongdoing, although the official said it can't be definitively ruled out.

The official also said there was "absolutely nothing" in the transcripts that suggests Flynn was acting under instructions "or that the trail leads higher."

"I don't think [Flynn] knew he was doing anything wrong," the official said. "Flynn talked about sanctions, but no specific promises were made. Flynn was speaking more in general 'maybe we'll take a look at this going forward' terms."


The opinion of one anonymous intelligence official?  Sorry, my bad, case closed.

One wonders why the Trump appointed IG thought differently. Or why the Trump Administration won’t make the transcripts public then.

Nothing to see here folks. Move along now.

ROFL indeed.

How easily influenced does she claim to be?

She said, in essence, "I read these headlines and they formed my opinion."

No thinking (or honesty) need be engaged in.

She fits right in.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/09/us/south-dakota-sioux-tribes/index.html
Because it is better to let this disease continue to clobber the minorities and the poor.

Quote
Gov. Kristi Noem sent letters Friday to the leaders of the Oglala Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe demanding that checkpoints designed to prevent the spread of coronavirus on tribal land be removed, the governor's office said in a statement.

"We are strongest when we work together; this includes our battle against Covid-19," Noem said. "I request that the tribes immediately cease interfering with or regulating traffic on US and State Highways and remove all travel checkpoints."
CNN has reached out to both tribes for comment.

According to Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe checkpoint policies posted on its social media, its reservation residents may travel within South Dakota to areas the state has not deemed a Covid-19 "hotspot" if it's for an essential activity such as medical appointments or to get supplies unavailable on the reservation. But they must complete a health questionnaire when they leave and when they return every time they go through a checkpoint.

South Dakota residents who don't live on the reservation are only allowed there if they're not coming from a hotspot and it is for an essential activity. But they must also complete a health questionnaire.

Those from a South Dakota hotspot or from outside the state cannot come to the reservation unless it is for an essential activity -- but they must obtain a travel permit available on the tribe's website.

Both tribes have also issued strict stay-at-home orders and curfews for their communities. Noem has not issued stay-at-home orders for the state.
