"Ex-Bush ethics lawyer on Trump Jr: 'This borders on treason'"

For the record, I have no idea, I'm not an expert. I just know that we had Comey thinking all this was worth investigating, as well as numerous *Republican* Senators and also Mueller who is a Republican but highly respected on both sides of the aisle.

So we are supposed to believe all of them are part of a partisan anti-Trump witch hunt?

Well, let us start with the fact that "bordering" on treason is not the same as saying he committed treason. One thing I notice from the left that that when somebody says "maybe" or "possibly", in a few short minutes it is taken as a fact as long as it is a negative toward Trump. Part of being in the Resistance, I guess.

“This was an effort to get opposition research on an opponent in an American political campaign from the Russians..." I guess this guy has not yet heard about Ukraine helping Clinton.

"... who were known to be engaged in spying inside the United States,” Richard Painter said Sunday on MSNBC." Sure, russians are spying, as are Israelis, Koreans, japanese, and about 200 other governments. But THIS person denies being a spy or even a tool of the Russian government. Shouldn't we stop the profiling that defines every person who is or knows a Russian is a spy? convict her first, then move on to everybody she has ever met.

Lastly, MSNBC?

We are agreed and correct in one thing, though. It's not collusion.

No, we are not experts, and we don't need to be. We are voters and citizens, and all we need to do is to apply the same principles of logic and reason we would to any other conspiracy theory. I once knew a Holocaust denier. Well, not a denier, exactly,, more of a minimizer. His belief was that 200,000 max were killed by Hitler, not the 6,000,000 claimed. This guy was a WW II combat vet (pacific theatre - Iwo Jima). No amount of proof, logic, and reason could shake his belief that that was what really happened. Kind of reminds me of this collusion thing.

You raise enough stink, even the Republicans will call for investigation, just to clear the air of the smoke being blown.

So far, my prediction stands. Call me when somebody gets indicted for "collusion". In the meantime, pleasant dreams of Trump in Leavenworth.
