There are numerous reasons the Deep State has provided to support the phony Trump-Russia collusion investigation and Mueller witch hunt. Here is a list of 19 reasons for the investigation to date – none of which are sufficient enough to implement the investigation in the first place.

Here’s our list of the various reasons given for the Trump-Russia collusion investigation and the Mueller witch hunt:

1. The Mud Theory, throw enough mud at the wall to see what sticks. I don’t care what he did, but he’s guilty of something – so just arrest him:

Joshua Levy states that Steele’s intention behind giving the dossier to “law enforcement” was for a criminal referral [source].

2. Trump made too many trips to Russia:

The reason Simpson gives for investigating Trump-Russian connections is this: “the basis for the request was, he [Trump] had made a number of trips to Russia and talked about doing a number of business deals but never did one, and that struck me as a little bit odd” (Specifically states it was not due to hacking events) [source]. 3. Carter Page dared to take a trip to Moscow:

The dossier, compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele, portrayed Page’s Moscow trip as seminal to a Trump-Russia conspiracy to hack Democratic email accounts and steal the election from Hillary Clinton [source]. 4. George Papadopoulos had a drunken encounter and bragged about something:

“It (genesis of Operation Russian Collusion) was not, as Mr. Trump and other politicians have alleged, a dossier compiled by a former British spy hired by a rival campaign. Instead, it was firsthand information from one of America’s closest intelligence allies (Downer’s barroom conversation with George Papadopoulos)” [source]. [Papadopoulos has stated that he wasn’t drunk and he doesn’t recall discussing Hillary’s emails with Downer.] 5. The DNC got hacked, so therefore, Trump is Putin’s lackey: “The hacking and the revelation that a member of the Trump campaign may have had inside information about it were driving factors that led the F.B.I. to open an investigation in July 2016 into Russia’s attempts to disrupt the election and whether any of President Trump’s associates conspired” [source]. 6. Some people surrounding Trump dared to speak to Russians in the past: According to the Times‘ story, the investigation seems to have been sparked by suspicions over some campaign members’ pre-existing connections with Russia before they joined the campaign [source]. 7. The dossier did NOT begin Operation Russian Collusion, but the DNC was most certainly NOT behind the dossier: New York Times reporter Ken Vogel at the time said that Clinton lawyer Marc Elias had “vigorously” denied involvement in the anti-Trump dossier [source].

“It [dossier] wasn’t part of the corpus of intelligence information that we had. It was not in any way used as a basis for the Intelligence Community Assessment that was done. Uh … it was not” [John Brennan denies before HPSCI that the dossier factored into the JAR. Also claims to not know who authored the Steele dossier] [source]. 8. Okay. Okay. You got us. We confess. The Russians only wanted to stir up hate and discontent like they’ve always done: Law enforcement officials say that none of the investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government. And even the hacking into Democratic emails, F.B.I. and intelligence officials now believe, was aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing Mr. Trump [source]. 9. Trump said NATO must pay, so therefore, Trump is a Russian spy: New York Times: FBI opened counterintelligence probe on Trump to investigate potential of him working with Russia 10. Trump fired Comey, so therefore, Trump is Putin’s lackey:
