Truth didn’t matter, even when it was clearly written down.
Trump knew that his people would never read it. He knew that if he just lied about what it said (no collusion! No obstruction!), over and over, loudly, that would become truth for his people.
That report was quite damning - but that’s not what his people believe. Trump created truth.
He continues to be a dire threat to this republic. The cult is only growing stronger.
