Best part is that “accepting Russian help” is unfalsifiable — how exactly does one ‘refuse’ “help” that they did not ask for, plan, coordinate, or take any active part in? (As established by Mueller himself)
Accepting has no actual meaning, because the only way not to “accept” would be to quit the race, and even doing that wouldn’t ensure that you’re not doing what the Russians wanted, which would mean you actively helped them.
The only more useless term is Schiffty’s favorite: welcomed. Again, something that can be said about any winner even if they take no actions at all, yet implies that they are somehow culpable.
It’s rhetoric to try to insinuate guilt onto innocent parties.
And of course, by any applied standard, the whole argument that Russia did anything to “help” Trump falls apart completely — the entire claim rests on unsupported opinions written as though they are fact, into the ICA (muh 17 agencies!) and other bogus SPYGATE indictments by Brennan, Comey, Strzok, and crew. Russia worked closely with Hillary’s team, and with the corrupted FBI/DOJ itself, not with Trump.
