Jen Psaki and Nancy Pelosi have been major supporters of the debunked Russiagate conspiracy theory.
After a two-year investigation conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, he concluded that there was no collusion.
But you can't say that for many Democrats. It's a conspiracy theory they hold close to their hearts.
And that's still the case, as former White House Press Secretary Psaki and former House Speaker Pelosi made full sense in an interview with MSNBC on Monday, February 19, 20.24.

Aren't these the people who are always worried about spreading “misinformation”?
These two are truly incredible. At this rate, Nancy Pelosi's great-grandchildren will push this conspiracy theory 3024.
“Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has some sort of financial influence over former President Trump,” The Hill reported.
“A proposal without evidence,” as the liberal media often says of any Republican or conservative claims.
The story continued:
Pelosi asked: “What does he have from Donald Trump that he must constantly satisfy to Putin?”
Her comments came after Trump doubled down on his criticism of NATO and said he would encourage Russia to attack US allies who fail to meet the alliance's defense spending targets. Trump also refused to criticize Putin over the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison last week.
Pelosi noted that Trump's comments about NATO were approaching the second anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Psaki asked Pelosi what she thought Putin had about Trump to make him refuse to criticize the Russian leader.
“I'm not sure what he has, but I think it's probably financial,” Pelosi said in comments highlighted by Mediaite.
Maybe it's time to ask what Ukrainian President Zelensky has about Pelosi and Psaki, who, in contrast to foreign politician Navalny, have not spared a glance at American journalist Gonzalo Lira, who died in a Ukrainian prison.
X mocks conspiracy theorists on MSNBC Psaki and Pelosi
X, formerly Twitter, will not let this pass without comment.
Progressive journalist Glenn Greenwald, who has followed the Democrats' Russiagate conspiracy theory from the beginning, said:

Democrats need to move on
The responses were endless and rightly so.
For Democrats who always worry that misinformation or conspiracy theories undermine democracy, they certainly don't mind promoting conspiracy theories themselves.
Psaki and Pelosi are both prominent Democrats, and they are just a play to make MSNBC's left-leaning audience feel comfortable.
For them it is forever 2016.
And don't be surprised if what happens in 2024 is not a direct result of the positions of Democrats like them, who cannot move on from the past.
It's time to support and share the sources you trust.
