None.
Of course, there is. I've been able to observe the behavior of the "investigators" and their allies in the media as that behavior is presented to the public. And I have the experience and intelligence to interpret it.

They're trying to frame Trump or at least construct a tidal wave of innuendo so enormous that it can sweep his Presidency away without their ever having to get down to the nitty-gritty of alleging and proving an actual crime. And you're proof that it's working.

An investigation goes where the evidence takes it and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Are you suggesting they look the other way if they find evidence of other wrong doing?

Yeah that's not how law enforcement works.

If the FBI thought Russians were trying to worm their way into the Clinton campaign, they would have informed her, and worked with her to uncover these people.


I keep going back to the same question, why didn't they inform Trump? Simple, because Comey, Clapper, Obama, Rice, Page, McCabe, Strzok, were all Democrats who hated Trump.

That would be like asking, if the FBI was investigating a Mob boss of some potential wrongdoing they suspected of him, why didn't they inform the Mob boss that they were investigating him?

The FBI did warn Trump that Russians were trying to worm their way in to his campaign.

Maybe this article, entitled "FBI warned Trump in 2016 that Russians would try to infiltrate campaign" would help you. The headline might clue you in as to whether the substance of the article reports on the FBI warning Trump that Russians were trying to worm their way in to his campaign.

Just the simple fact that the FBI had reason to suspect the President of the United States was working for a foreign power and then open an investigation is astounding.

The investigation was rolled into Mueller's work, and already he has uncovered multiple examples of collusion. Some have already been prosecuted. After he interviews the translators he will likely have most of the story and then we see what he does with it.


One well known pundit suggested over the weekend that this will end in a constitutional crisis. The Dotard will further burn America to the ground before he admits that he was caught colluding with the enemy, whether intentional or not.


Expect former leaders to create a bipartisan commission to form an acceptable government and hold new elections. No-one could have imagined that America could possibly fall so far, so quickly, even with a clown in the White House. Our founders never could foresee that someone who held America's interest in despicably low regard could ever make it to the presidency. But here we are.


Thank god for the FBI and even back to Sally Yates when she tried to warn us of the danger of this man. Too bad nobody listened...then.

What about the fact that the NYT article linked by the OP says they weren't investigating any crime? They were investigating Trump because he fired their Boss (Comey). No crime anywhere to be found.

He can do no wrong in word or deed....no matter how bad a lie or how craven an action

The suggestion that Trump is a Russian spy is grounded in evidence--
No, there is none at all. Absolutely none.
