The meeting with the Russian Lawyer was not cooperating it was a meeting and it was of no substance to the campaign. It fizzled. If it had gone to the point of exchange of info that the campaign used to attach Hillary you are then cooperating. If the kept the exchange secret and continued cooperating then you are colluding. Willingness to cooperate is unethical and would be grounds for dismissal but not criminal. Donald has not even been connected with the meeting. Everyone in the meeting should resign or be fired. If more damning evidence comes to light on the meeting then maybe some charges should be filed. We do have a special prosecutor.
Yeah, Session should be fired.
I never denied that a case was building against the Trump Campaign. I said that no admissible evidence has been made public that incriminates Donald Trump.
Yes, the Russians did interfere in the elections. Trump did not tell the Russians to interfere in the elections. Trump said he hoped the Russians had Hillary’s missing e-mails and would release them. That would not be interfering in the elections that would be correcting a wrong. The wrongful illegal destruction of government property. He was hoping we could recover what Hillary stole.
Exactly what evidence would the house use to justify an impeachment? Then the Senate would review that evidence, would they find it conclusive beyond a reasonable doubt?
The case is still too weak. I am in favor of the rule of law. We need to be a nation of laws. I am leaning toward someone in Trump’s campaign is guilty and I am pretty sure (but not beyond a reasonable doubt) that Trump himself is guilty of some crimes but they might not be related to the campaign.
There has been no fizzling of charges because no charges have be laid, just accusations. The accusations relating to the meeting with the Russian Lawyer are what I have said are fizzling because it seems regardless of bad intent no crime was committed.
Remember how the Clinton impeachment derailed any more progress in his administration. The Trump investigation will do the same to Trump and probably prevent his running for a second term but if Trump resigns before the end of his first term, I expect Pence will pull a Ford and pardon Trump even before charges are brought.
