That premise - sour grapes.
The FBI and Intelligence community said it is worth investigating.

Trump says it is a hoax.

Who lied about crowd sizes and weather conditions at the inauguration?

Who lied about Obama tapping his wires?

Who lied about what unbelievable things his investigators were finding in Hawaii regarding Obama's birth certificate?

Who should we believe now?

Trump could deliver the cure for cancer and Democrats would blame him for overpopulation.

Why you think it is relevant to this discussion is beyond me.

The people cannot pardon someone for a crime.
I didn't know you were talking about a crime.
I'm talking about house and senate committees (no crime).
I doubt even Al Franken thinks a crime will come of this.

Oh, and Hillary won in a landslide, according to the polls, and Obama's huge approval rating made him a great campaign advantage for Hillary in 2016......
So feel free to believe the polls.


Multiple time/$$$ wasting Benghazi investigations didn't seem to lose votes, better make up a new theory.

Let's see tRump come up with this mythical "middle east peace" deal first. He's already bragged that it won't be hard.

No one has accomplished that in the past 10,000 years.

But, he's got "special powers"...

There is an ongoing investigation, and it's being carried on for more than just partisan politics (these investigations are being carried out either by bi-partisan groups or apolitical organizations).

An investigation is not going to be dropped because someone did something good, or even great. If he is found to be innocent - great. If he's found to not be, well, then he's guilty of whatever they find, and his good deeds before/after don't change that finding.

The people have no power to change that, either.

The only thing Trump is capable of delivering are lies and broken promises.

I think it would look very wrong for them to pursue the Impeachment of such a global legend.
President Trump's international clout would simply be too large, and investigating him would make the Dems look incredibly anti-American and somewhat anti-Peace.
In my opinion, there are a few very big entities making very big money due to whatever is happening in the Middle East and in the Israel/Palestine conflict. These big players won't let their gold mine of a business get shut down.

No peace deal is happening.

If Trump and his campaign staff truly have nothing to hide, then why are conservatives so worried about the ivnestigations?! Let the investigation play out, and then laugh at us when it's over because it turns out there was no collusion and the entire thing was a huge waste of time and money.

But that's not the way it's playing out, is it? Flynn asked for immunity, and when it was denied and subpoened, he pleaded the 5th.

If Clinton had won, and she were accused of having colluded with Russia, and one of her campaign staffers were asked to testify and pleaded the fifth, almost every conservative on here would be outraged. Is that true or no?
