Colusion Buffs: Is it even possible that Trump didn't do the collusion, but

someone in his circle orchestrated it?

Let's just say his circle knew he had an affinity for things Russia and let's just say, he yelled at all of them "I want to win, make it happen."

It's hard to imagine they all would just go with Russia, simultaneously, to help. Yet, don't know if there's a strong "Trump II", to orchestrate it?

Let's just say it's Junior and Kushner (combined, "Trump II&quot , could they have "run the show" and then eventually Trump figured it out. Why he can say "no Trump collusion" because HE wasn't the leader? And, he is only denying and trying to stop the investigation because he doesn't want his son, SIL, and friends to go to prison??

Are there facts that would make this idea an impossibility? I know, the change in the GOP platform. Might have been a one-off to help Manafort ???

It's possible, but unlikely that he didn't have, at least SOME knowledge of what was going on. bearsfootball516 Jan 2019 #4

Nothing happens that he did not know about, and OK. A narcissist has to be in complete control, and they give the orders.

to help" - although what you say is probably true...his underlings would tell him to garner the king's favor. And, don't see a leader or independent actor below him.
