The word "if" is used liberally (pun intended).

But let's say it is true. Let's also say it can be proven.

Shows one thing for sure. Even though the witch hunt has been a failure in uncovering witches (collusion with Russia to steal an election), it has been magnificent in creating them(lying to the FBI, lying to Congress).

So a deal that never happened is the central feature of all this?

All I know is that I don't go public with my real estate deals until they are done deals. This one was never a done deal. Suspicious, huh?

Why are the Democrats so intent on preventing Trump from helping the US? Oh, yes, revenge for Hillary.

Back to a question I posed earlier here: If Trump is impeached, and then not removed by the Senate, does double jeopardy attach? If so, let's impeach ASAP.

In this case, I find it hard to see how this created a witch, in the sense that Trump did not have to try and cover up his Russia Trump Tower deal if it was all legal, and dead. This isn't some sort of perjury trap.

One of the issues of electing Trump was that he had significant business interests and could easily violate the emoluments clause due to them. And that's why he said he would get out of the day to day and stop any foreign deals from going forward. Dude knew the rules when he signed up.

The problem is you don't know the definition of a witch. In this context, it is evidence that he colluded with Russia to subvert the election. That is the witch that Mueller was selected to find. But if there was no witch hunt, there would be no interviews with Flynn et al regarding the collusion, and thus no indictments for lying. So if the cops tear your home apart looking for evidence of meth manufacture, but instead find you have an illegal rifle and a dog running loose without a collar or leash, does that constitute a successful meth hunt, and does the gun and/or dog count as finding meth? That is the argument you are making.
