So we have a growing number of issues within the FBI and the Special Counsel. The media continues to do it's best to either downplay, or completely ignore these issues, but eventually... reality will catch up to them. To some degree, they already have started to catch up with them.
But I want to start with something that most people don't really don't get quite right.
According to recent polling, the lion's share of Americans already assume that the President is guilty of at least something having to do with the Russians and the 2016 election. In fact according to a Quinnipiac poll, about two thirds of Americans believe that Trump did something illegal or unethical during the 2016 election, and over 50% believe that there is evidence that either Trump or his members of his campaign directly "colluded" with the Russians.
This is not necessarily hard to understand when you think about it:
Start with the rhetoric that has taken place over the past year or so from the Democrats, with each of them practically crawling over the others, trying to make the most authoritative claim possible that there is no doubt that the President colluded and that the special investigation will uncover it. Even members of the Congressional investigations, who have to admit that "they" found no evidence, still insist that the Mueller investigation will find what they cannot. You cannot interview a Democrat about any subject, without them making some comment about how Trump colluded with the Russians. Many literally treat it as if it's a fact. Many of their supporters are sympathetic to a fault to the argument.
Meanwhile, the MSM have been parroting the Democrats, distorting the truth, flat out misreporting, and continuously playing up the concept that evidence of collusion is a forgone conclusion. They seem to find any excuse they can to put the name Trump together with the country Russia, just to reinforce the notion. It has gotten to the point, where they have actually convinced certain gullible liberals that it was illegal for General Flynn to have talked to anyone Russian during the transition.
So why is this polling statistic important?
Well at first glance, it seems bad for the President if people believe he is guilty of criminal or unethical behavior. But ultimately, those sort of opinions (at least for some people) can be changed if the facts bear out a different reality. More to the point, it could be a hidden blessing (or at least a reason to believe that the President's standing is not as bad at it could be).
What I mean is that... for all practical purposes the concept of Robert Mueller finding some evidence of Presidential wrongdoing is already "priced into" the general political market as it pertains to the President, his approvals, his credibility, and his ability to lead the nation. After all, how much confidence would you have that President Trump can continue to lead us, if your assumption is that he is guilty of a crime, that evidence exists, and that Mueller will (or has) found it, and that it is just a matter of time before special counsel will be coming forward with some sort of formal recommendation of charges or impeachment against the President.
But....
Imagine the collective egg that would be on everyone's face if Mueller's investigation eventually ends without offering any evidence or proof that Trump or his campaign actually "colluded" with the Russians? What will their new talking point be? Will they accept the finding of no collusion? Will they demand a new investigation? Will they apologize? Will they admit that they were wrong?
Imagine the sustained attacks by the President on everyone who made those accusations against him. Imagine him demanding apologies. Telling everyone that they were lied to by the Democrats and that Robert Mueller cleared him. Imagine how much more credible his attacks on the media will suddenly become if their biggest story of the 2016 election ended up being nothing more than "fake news".
Meanwhile, General Inspector General Michael Horowitz is quietly (behind the scenes) apparently uncovering all sorts of evidence of FBI bias against Trump. We may eventually actually find out that the entire investigation was driven by a bunch of anti-Trump Hillary backers in the FBI, pushing the Fusion GPS opposition research hoax as an excuse to go fishing. We may further find out that all of this was well known to people like James Comey, or even people higher in the Administration. The reality just might be that the investigators are actually the ones who should be investigated.
Wouldn't that be a fun turn of events?

Russia never stopped its cyberattacks on the United States

Michael Morell is a former deputy director and twice acting director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2010 to 2013. Mike Rogers, a Republican from Michigan, served in the House from 2001 to 2015 and was chairman of the Intelligence Committee from 2010 to 2015. Both are on the advisory council for the Alliance for Securing Democracy.
Every first-year international-relations student learns about the importance of deterrence: It prevented a Soviet invasion of Western Europe during the height of the Cold War. It prevented North Korea from invading South Korea in the same time frame. Today, it keeps Iran from starting a hot war in the Middle East or other nations from initiating cyberattacks against our infrastructure.
And yet, the United States has failed to establish deterrence in the aftermath of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. We know we failed because Russia continues to aggressively employ the most significant aspect of its 2016 tool kit: the use of social media as a platform to disseminate propaganda designed to weaken our nation.

Opinion | The Fox News-Murdoch playbook: Discredit Mueller
Post media critic Erik Wemple says stoking old scandals is an attempt to sow doubt in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into President Trump. (Gillian Brockell/The Washington Post)
There is a perception among the media and general public that Russia ended its social-media operations following last year’s election and that we need worry only about future elections. But that perception is wrong. Russia’s information operations in the United States continued after the election and they continue to this day.
They still are not acting on this information. The Obama administration failed too, but the past two years, serious steps to stop it are still not enforce Of course, it's Fake News and a attempt to discredit Trump because they can't accept the fact he he actually won the election.

This is calculated plan to lead to dis trust to the Mueller Report, comes out with results very strongly against the President, will be discredited. Every one of you buy into this, because you are convinced that anything that comes out, will be prejudiced and are not legitimate .

Mueller and FBI will take down this President. You all ready, pointed to the seats called your shot HB.
Everyone, so discredit your point, only one of has to belive Mueller.
Ok. I believe Mueller, there you are discredited again. Too easy.
Repeated attacks designed to discredit law enforcement, and demilitarize the free press are the actions similar to Venezuela for example.
Moore is not conceding because he believes the large African American turnout wasn't legitimate, because the "election fraud" law wasn't enforced, and stacked the ballots.
It's similar to the comments by the President that the entire 3 million vote margin that he lost by, was 100% illegal ballots. He has not retracted that comment, nor has he ever retracted any one of his tweets or statements that are demonstrably false beyond a doubt.
This is the extreme right wing of the Republican party is out to discredit any disagreement or information that is not favorable to the President.
Mueller is a decorated Vietnam war Marine veteran and a life long Republican. The attacks on the character of this man are incredibly dangerous to the law enforcement in the United States. As long as it is focused on this President.
Muhller
Donald Trump has spent 1/3 of his time golfing at his properties. He has done more golfing in less than one year than President Obama did in 8 years.
Mueller is conducting an investigation into the Russian intervention into the election of 2016. That is it. If as part of the investigation, ends up finding illegal cooperation with the Trump campaign and the Russian intervention, then Trump has a problem. But that is not the purpose of the investigation. That is the lie Trump wants you to believe. It's working on CH.
WASHINGTON — Around 5:30 each morning, President Trump wakes and tunes into the television in the White House’s master bedroom. He flips to CNN for news, moves to “Fox & Friends” for comfort and messaging ideas, and sometimes watches MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” because, friends suspect, it fires him up for the day.
Energized, infuriated — often a gumbo of both — Mr. Trump grabs his iPhone. Sometimes he tweets while propped on his pillow, according to aides. Other times he tweets from the den next door, watching another television. Less frequently, he makes his way up the hall to the ornate Treaty Room, sometimes dressed for the day, sometimes still in night clothes, where he begins his official and unofficial calls.
As he ends his first year in office, Mr. Trump is redefining what it means to be president. He sees the highest office in the land much as he did the night of his stunning victory over Hillary Clinton — as a prize he must fight to protect every waking moment, and Twitter is his Excalibur. Despite all his bluster, he views himself less as a titan dominating the world stage than a maligned outsider engaged in a struggle to be taken seriously, according to interviews with 60 advisers, associates, friends and members of Congress.
For other presidents, every day is a test of how to lead a country, not just a faction, balancing competing interests. For Mr. Trump, every day is an hour-by-hour battle for self-preservation. He still relitigates last year’s election, convinced that the investigation by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, into Russia’s interference is a plot to delegitimize him. Color-coded maps highlighting the counties he won were hung on the White House walls.
ADVERTISEMENT
Before taking office, Mr. Trump told top aides to think of each presidential day as an episode in a television show in which he vanquishes rivals. People close to him estimate that Mr. Trump spends at least four hours a day, and sometimes as much as twice that, in front of a television, sometimes with the volume muted, marinating in the no-holds-barred wars of cable news and eager to fire back.
“He feels like there’s an effort to undermine his election and that collusion allegations are unfounded,” said Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina who has spent more time with the president than most lawmakers. “He believes passionately that the liberal left and the media are out to destroy him. The way he got here is fighting back and counterpunching.
“The problem he’s going to face,” Mr. Graham added, “is there’s a difference between running for the office and being president. You’ve got to find that sweet spot between being a fighter and being president.”
Bracing and refreshing to his alienated-from-the-system political base, Mr. Trump’s uninhibited approach seems erratic to many veterans of both parties in the capital and beyond. Some politicians and pundits lament the instability and, even without medical degrees, feel no compunction about publicly diagnosing various mental maladies.

I just saw this.
Revenue shortfalls created by the new GOP tax law could make House Speaker Paul Ryan's political goals easier to achieve.
Ryan wants to cut so-called entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security to reduce the deficit.
The political landscape ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, however, might be too treacherous for Ryan to achieve his goals.
This will be open for discussion in a few months. In order to reduce the deficit created by the unnecessary tax reform law just passed, the Ayn Rand devote will try to reduce the government involved with the economy.

“The Western Wall is the holiest place for the Jewish people, and I decided to call the train station that leads to it after President Trump following his historic and brave decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel,” said Katz.

well it's the same with entitlements.fully 2/3's of our fed budget is entitlements, or, by any other name, welfare the trajectory is simply not sustainable. remember those debts and deficits your comrades were railing about when it came to the tax cut bill? well, we need to wean the country off entitlements as you'll need to be weaned off narcotics. or at least place them on a means tested trajectory so they only go to the truly needy as intended, vs. moochers like you who constantly brag about your very generous goonion pension.
In other words the Democrat politician's concern about the deficit is phoney because they will not address the root cause of it.
To explain it to Me 3rd grade level English.
These coordinated attacks on the FBI and Mueller are designed to discredit the results of the investigation if they end up discovering collusion or other discoveries that show some other serious crimes
Mueller is an ex-Marine who is a decorated combat veteran of the Vietnam war and a lifetime Republican. Also the former director of the FBI. He is running a very tightly controlled investigation. Because of these credentials, the extreme right wing of the Republican party and with the support of the President, they want to premptedly discredit the results of the investigation.
I hope that it isn't to complicated for
you folks.
We're not psychologist so we can't explain you paranoid fantasies.
The only coordinated attack has been Democrats in and out of the government along with the mainstream media about a phoney Russian/Trump collusion story.
And now that the truth is being exposed, they have the nerve to say it's a "coordinated attack".
Rooney was right leadership in the FBI and the DOJ should be purged.
An FBI agent who thinks it's his duty to sabotage a duly elected president with phoney dossier "as insurance policy" has no business being an FBI agent

"if they end up discovering"
well addict, that's looking like a bigger and bigger "if" with each passing day. it also explains why adam schitt and speier had to concoct the false rumor that trump was going to fire mueller.
mueller just slapped a superseding indictment.on manafort. seems desperate to most legal minds. you would think that mueller would have been able to come up with something on trump all on his own by now. apparently not.
so, needing to nail at least one scalp to the wall, AND to keep this circle-jerk humming along until the 2018 midterms hopefully, mueller is fumbling around like a liver transplant alky searching for his opioid pill bottle.
Let's put it this way. I paid taxes for 47 years for Social Security and Medicare. I'm going to have to simply this for you.
Social Security, I will survive well into life and won't reach the point where I exceed the amount of my contributions until I am in my eighties.
I paid taxes for the insurance plans called Medicare for the same number of years. Do you understand the concept of insurance? No way, you do not. But it's designed for (shared) risk. Most people don't exceed their contributions.
My self this year as of November 30th my out of pocket expenses are over $6475.
I pay for that on a fixed income retirement plan. I'm far from broke.
That amount for insurance ain't cheap.
One of the medications prescribed are $60 per pill. I take 14 per week.
I know that God's blessing to have life itself today. This is a life changing experience. Despite the fact that we differ on politics, I don't wish any of you and your families any harm.
Unfortunately some of the usual suspects differ, but they may have to pay the consiquentions.
Mueller is an ex-Marine who is a decorated combat veteran of the Vietnam war and a lifetime Republican.

The massive gains come after years of "onerous" rules, when critics say the Obama administration “micromanaged” the war and shunned a more intensive air strategy that could have ended the conflict much sooner.
“The rules of engagement under the Obama administration were onerous. I mean what are we doing having individual target determination being conducted in the White House, which in some cases adds weeks and weeks,” said retired Air Force Lt. Gen. David Deptula, the former head of U.S. Air Force intelligence. “The limitations that were put on actually resulted in greater civilian casualties.”
The fact that you can't believe how wonderful people can be fair and reasonable if what they are doing an investigation into the Russian intervention is a result of Trumpism run amok and a low double digit IQ.

Alan Dershowicz recently explained it well. Trump won't fire Mueller because he is in a better position by not doing so.
If Mueller exonerates Trump, its a home run for him. If he dredges up some charge, his entire investigation has already been exposed as a partisan coup attempt by a group of corrupt hillary supporters.

i also understand the concept of welfare, or "entitlements" as you moochers prefer to call them. perhaps to assuage your liberal guilt or something. and we're not sharing "risks." only costs. SS is a classic ponzi scheme, and medicare is medicaid for the elderly. pure and simple. you see addict, being honest about what we're talking about provides clarity. and is the first step towards solving the problem. just like your alcoholism. simpson-bowles spelled this all out for us with a high degree of detail and some thoughtful proposed solutions back in 2010 and your dear leader 0linsky blew them off.

Iraq is in reality a wonderful story considering. I read before that the President wanted to personally approve military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
On that point, I completely agree that he should have let the military conduct operations without direct approval. He was to set policy and not be the in effect the director of combat operations.

Donald Trump is the textbook example of a narcissist of the highest degree. Thus we now turn our attention to the general profile of a narcissist in this section before proceeding to Donald Trump’s future behavior. Now what is a narcissist? Unfortunately, people confuse the definition with someone who simply cares too much about their appearance or likes looking at themselves in the mirror. A narcissist is much more than that. They are essentially a psychopath who lacks any real empathy. The thought process of the narcissist can be summed up with these three thoughts: It’s all about me Other people are “paper people” and do not matter The rules don’t apply to me.
Written by a PhD psychologist
Solo para sacarte de tu mente, voy a decir lo mismo en español.
Eres un ejemplo de libro de texto de la persona que la dictadura funciona bien. Has estado siguiendo al presidente y su tweet como si fuera la palabra de Dios. No siento pena por ti debido a tus creencias racistas.
The New Republic.
For his birthday, Donald Trump learns that he’s personally under investigation.Until now, the scope of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election was unclear. While it was obvious that some of Trump’s underlings had been entangled in the investigation, it was unknown how far it extended up the chain of command. Trump himself, citing fired FBI Director James Comey as an authority, claimed that he himself was not under investigation.
We now know this is no longer true. As the Washington Post reports, Mueller “is interviewing senior intelligence officials as part of a widening probe that now includes an examination of whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice, officials said.” The obstruction of justice investigation apparently started after Trump fired Comey. This makes sense on two counts: 1) Comey’s firing itself could be seen as an attempt to influence the investigation; and 2) Comey’s public testimony since then strongly suggested that Trump had tried to squash the probe. The investigation is also looking at possible financial misconduct by Trump associates.
With the president under investigation, the possibility of Trump being impeached increases. If Mueller’s investigation finds evidence of wrongdoing, it will likely be presented to Congress. Republicans would then face a real dilemma: What would hurt them more, going after Trump or ignoring the evidence?

A narcissist holds the following traits:
- Obvious self focus in interpersonal exchanges (like believing others care about your personal life)
- A lack of psychological awareness (like not understanding why others don't care about your personal life)
- Inability to view the world from the perspective of other people (like not understanding how everyone cannot hate Donald Trump like you do)
- Bragging and/or exaggerating their achievements (Like telling everyone repeatedly that you are a genius)
- Flattery towards people who admire and affirm them (like defending someone like James, simply because he agrees with you).
dictator, addict?
dictators don't overturn hundreds, if not thousands of government regulations. they impose them.
dictators seize industries like the healthcare industry and the auto industry.
dictators weaponize powerful government agencies like the IRS to attack their political enemies.
dictators shut down government through sequestration, and take extraordinary measures to close off open air monuments just to be pricks.
dictators rule by decree, via their pen and phone.
dictators lie to their citizens like it's their fucking job, and if they're really lucky, they get awarded the 'lie of the year.'
dictators agree with and align themselves with other dictators, like the castro's.
the fact is addict, is that you cannot point to a single dictatorial measure that trump has taken. you and all your fakebook buddies are left to whine and wallow in a big puddle of psychological projection. and the ultimate irony is that trump has arguably done more to secure my freedoms and liberties since President Ronaldus Magnus himself.
so go back to enjoying your opioid high. and you're welcome, since we're probably picking up the tab for that as well.

opioids.
explains a lot.
I don't see any reason to believe that the Special Investigation is running into any trouble. Politicians always call investigations politically motivated, witch hunts, and having no evidence. Their staunch supporters always believe them.
Be patient; more indictments are coming. As for Trump, the man's business practices are too dirty for the pipe dream of exoneration. He may escape impeachment, but no doubt he's got secrets that are going to be aired out in public.
WP
Mueller's job was to make a determination about the 2016 election and (of course) to confirm the long standing liberal suspicion that there was illegal "collusion" between Trump and the Russians.
That is the bar that is set. If he fails to prove collusion. He fails. Period.
Seriously, WP...
Are you so far gone as to believe that Mueller's "real job" is to personally go after Trump "secrets" and "dirty business practices" - rather than do the job he was tasked to do?
Trump’s move in May to fire FBI Director James Comey was as a result of his refusal to stop the FBI investigation of the possible intervention into the 2016 election.
That was not a very good idea. Many lawyers, including veterans of the WaterGate scandal that resulted in the first resignation of the President believe that Donald Trump could be indicted for objection to justice.
His decision set the stage for the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller less than 10 days later by Rod Rosenstein.
Rosenstein was later asked why he described himself as satisfied with the Mueller investigation: "Based upon what I know, I believe Director Mueller is appropriately remaining within his scope and conducting himself appropriately."
This President is bringing everything that is going on is his own damn fault.
The story was six months old but still true today.
It is beyond a reasonable doubt that he's narcissistic.
CH, That is the bar that is set. If he fails to prove collusion. He fails. Period. Is your considered opinion. He's been running a very tight ship. Compared to the WaterGate scandal investigation, this is not even close to comparison.
You make a lot of assumptions. But they are nothing but your opinions. Your assumptions about the arrests are not going anywhere near the President. But opinions are like a``holes. Every one has one. But the facts are facts. We are going to have to wait until he releases the report. If you were objective rather partisan, you like me, will wait for the report.
Instead you are following the directions of the President and his supporters, that now beyond any doubt, that you are one of them.
I hope you feel better HB.
rrb, I took my last 5mg at 2:00 PM yesterday afternoon.
I may have one before I go to the gym. My guns still need work.
I must say that some of the visuals at the gym are outstanding.
"Mueller and the FBI will get him" objective non-partisan HB
RRB, CHT,ETTe,CS & other here actually live a healthy life without Daily use of Schudule 1 Drugs as defined by The United States Controlled Substance Act.
Actually Roger..
I make no assumptions.
The special counsel was tasked to investigate Russian interference in the election and whether or not the Trump campaign "colluded" with them. That is simply a fact. They will either succeed or fail in that task based on the parameters of that task.
The fact that Mueller indicted Manafort does not prove collusion between Trump and the Russians. That is simply a fact. More to the point, any suggestion that there is a correlation between the two is (by factual definition) an assumption. Same exact logic applies to General Flynn.
For being a "genius" - you certainly have a difficult time understanding the difference between a simple "fact" and an "assumption".
Want more evidence of narcissism:

All Roger, all day, all night... a legend in his own mind!
KD, thank you.
I've been going through this time in life, and it's been very interesting.
Just one thing. I have to believe that I'm still alive for a reason. And going through all this and the Christmas holiday, I think that he's is our savior. I have never before thought this way. I won't mention it again here.
Everyone finds God in a foxhole, this maybe your foxhole, welcome into the Kingdom.
Are you so far gone as to believe that Mueller's "real job" is to personally go after Trump "secrets" and "dirty business practices" - rather than do the job he was tasked to do?
You were fantasizing about total exoneration, and the investigators being investigated. Maybe it was mean of me to point out that it's a pipe dream. But back in the real world, the investigation appears to be firing on all cylinders.
Follow the money, and it's leading closer to Trump. In fact, you may soon get the answer to your question "why wasn't Manafort charged with tax evasion" - and it won't be because there is "nothing but process crimes" as you're fond of saying.
The fact that Mueller indicted Manafort does not prove collusion between Trump and the Russians.
That's something to hang onto, until it does prove collusion. There are several ways that it might, which we don't know yet because none of us are privy to the details. But one trail is pretty obvious, don't you think? The business of both parties with the German super-bank that laundered billions for the Kremlin. The contacts with people associated with that. The lying about those contacts. We (the public) have no information about the dots being connected, and it's a mistake for you to conclude that because you don't know about it, it doesn't exist.
CH, .that thought has gone through my mind, many times. LOL you are correct in some cases my friend.
My father once said, "Roger, you are always trying to change my mind!"
One of the things that this life experience has lead me to self contemplation. I have been sober for five years and six months as of Christmas. Self evaluation is important to me.
I strongly believe that what I say about the President is in my considered opinion is correct based on a life of experience with many situations. Yes, he is dangerous to the country we all love. This isn't because Clinton lost. It was her own damn fault. His impulsive behavior and total disregard to the Constitution could actually lead to Constitutional crisis almost to the level of the Civil War. There are small but heavily armed groups, who just might act out. The Oklahoma city bombing could be pale in comparison because of the emotional level of the President.
If the economy stays healthy that won't likely happen Roger. He might stir up some civil unrest if plunges us into a war somewhere, in North Korea for example or confrontations with China. I don't think that will happen either, because in spite of his bluster Trump doesn't have the backbone to commit forces in a strategic conflict.
Trump has never had unwavering support even in his own administration, and he'll have less in Congress. The danger is contained.
wp, I hope that you are correct.
But I have my doubts on the status of the Republican party at this time.
You were fantasizing about total exoneration, and the investigators being investigated.
WP
I am starting to believe that there is a pretty strong chance that there will be no actual evidence shown of "collusion" between Trump and the Russians.
In fact, I would suggest that you probably feel the same way, else you wouldn't be attempting to move the focus from collusion onto Trump "secrets" and "dirty business practices".
Secondly, I think it's nearly a foregone conclusion that we will a more robust investigation into the Trump Dossier and to what degree it was used to spur the overall investigation. Obviously Congress is already holding hearings and were just questioning FBI leadership on this very subject.
So I think it's a stretch to claim that such a prediction is considered a "fantasy".
We (the public) have no information about the dots being connected, and it's a mistake for you to conclude that because you don't know about it, it doesn't exist.
The question is what is considered fact, and what is considered assumption.
The fact is that the Manafort charges are unrelated to the 2016 election, and are in regards to actions that predate Manafort's association with Trump. We can factually make this claim based on the indictment itself. We don't need to assume or otherwise speculate to draw that conclusion.
Your "connecting the dots" is the assumption on your part. By definition the concept of "connecting dots" is speculative.
Your connection of dots would fill a swimming pool. But none of them are connected.
Yesterday Republican Congressman Francis Rooney who represents Florida's 19th congressional district called for a "purge" of the FBI, a term reminiscent of Stalinist Russa. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the new Republican party.
Yeah from Facebook.
Drama Queen Alert!!!! Drama Queen Alert!!!! Drama Queen Alert!!!!
The Drama Queen is in the building.
CH one of the things that you have not answered my question.
If the President has nothing to hide, Why does he fight so hard against the investigation?
Don't dance, answer the question.
Hablo espanol tambien.
Y que?
Drama Queen Alert
dictators rule by decree, via their pen and phone. He has used Twitter to call the FBI is trying to remove the President in a coup.
dictators lie to their citizens like it's their fucking job, and if they're really lucky, they get awarded the 'lie of the year.' He has lied about the crowd size of the the FBI and Mueller are designed to discredit the President
dictators agree with and align themselves with other dictators, like the castro's. Trump has never criticized the brutal and murderous dictatorship of Putin.
Stop the voice to text. You make even less sense than normal or is it the opiates????

You are the one who has made a lot of assumptions without a single fact to back it up.

I don't know Roger...
Have you ever really attempted to actually try to see it from his point of view, under the assumption that he really "is" innocent of colluding with the Russians?
1) an entire investigation is started based on a dubious opposition research dossier that for the most part has been debunked.
2) Two congressional investigations have been going on for about a year.
3) The FBI had been investigating the allegations for a year.
4) Special Counsel has now been investigating allegations for seven months on top of the year FBI investigation.
And there still isn't any proof of collusion provided by any of the investigations.
His political opponent was let off the hook. In spite of numerous examples of her aids knowingly lying to the FBI, no perjury was charged. In spite of deleting emails, and wiping a subpoenaed server clean, no charges of obstruction were filed. The FBI director never even allowed a prosecutor to take the case to a grand jury. The FBI director (outside of his authority) made the declaration that she shouldn't be charged.
Moreover, his opponents "DID" actually collude with Russians to garner information on him (most of it debunked) - and nobody is suggesting that they be investigated. It's total hypocrisy!
Meanwhile, it would appear that perjury traps had been set up to charge people from his administration with crimes. Perjury traps have probably been set up in an attempt to probably get his own family members charged with the very actions that Hillary's team was allowed to get away with. Mueller likely violated at least the spirit of the law by strong arming the GSA into providing him with the Transition records without even a notification to the Transition team
Again, 180% from how Transition records were handled for Obama and his team. Another glaring form of hypocrisy.
On top of all of that, the Media continues to misreport things (like the fact that Donald Jr got an email that provided him with access to documentation before everyone else - when he actually didn't). or reports that Flynn was told to reach out to the Russians during the campaign (when he didn't). Reports that Mueller had taken Trump's bank records (both Trump lawyers and the bank deny and still the media reports on it).
If you were Trump, and it was your kids who are being set up for perjury traps, and it's your family that the media is lying about, and you are attempting to actually do your job...
How would you feel about it?
He is ultimately still an American citizen and he is entitled to the same due process and rights as anyone else. It would appear at this point, that his rights are being trampled, and people like you just stand up (with all of your blind hatred) and say FUCK THE CONSTITUTION!!! GET TRUMP!!!
So yeah, Roger... I understand why he is upset. I believe he has been remarkably patient considering he does actually have the authority to put an end to it (regardless what Democrats say).
But of course... your lack of empathy is exactly up the alley of someone who suffers from narcissism. So I wouldn't expect your mental health condition would allow you to see it.

So it's the opiates. Got it.
Never cared for them, I prefer regular bowel movements
"He has used Twitter to call the FBI is trying to remove the President in a coup."
so the sending of a tweet is now the constitutional equivalent of an executive order?
if you say so, alky the addict.
"He has lied about the crowd size of the the FBI and Mueller are designed to discredit the President "
crowd size, alky> and you lie about your "guns". they're not guns, they're bingo wings.
"Trump has never criticized the brutal and murderous dictatorship of Putin. "
no he just did one better by approving arms sales to ukraine. a move that was reported to piss off putin in a big way. as CS has pointed out, skeets sucked putin's dick by proxy via medvedev. and then erased his own 'red line' when putin was doing donuts on the white house lawn.
go brush your teeth, addict. your creepy yellow smile is starting to look like meth mouth.

In fact, I would suggest that you probably feel the same way, else you wouldn't be attempting to move the focus from collusion onto Trump "secrets" and "dirty business practices".
What did I say about it just before the Special Investigation started? I said it was unlikely because 1, you'd be nuts to try to get the Russians involved in your election, and 2, he didn't need to.
Now, I think it's more likely than what I thought then. I also suspect that Trump's past business practices and his relationships may be corrupt enough for charges, with or without a given level of cooperation with the Russian electoral interference.
Of course connecting the dots is speculative - everything we say about it is speculative (including particularly this "no evidence" stuff of yours). I presented it as one avenue among many, specifically to show that you can draw no conclusion based on your mere lack of information.
Quinnipiac poll, about two thirds of Americans believe that Trump did something illegal or unethical during the 2016 election, and over 50% believe that there is evidence that either Trump or his members of his campaign directly "colluded" with the Russians.
This is not necessarily hard to understand when you think about it:
Since it's likely that Trump DID do something illegal during the 2016 election, and dead certain that he was unethical, not hard at all to understand why 2/3 of the people would acknowledge that. About a third are Trump hard core, regardless of anything he did or might do, and the rest aren't so gullible, so it sounds about right.
"Did something", wow WP.
Yep, he won.
