Where is the evidence of President Trump's collusion with Russia?
The Wall Street Journal – no particular fan of Trump – characterizes the DOJ charge to Special Counsel, Robert Mueller, as fatally open-ended, vague, and flawed. His instruction lists no federal statutes and invites a fishing expedition into trivial matters. Journalists covering the story appear to disagree on what Mueller is supposed to do: Is he to “oversee the investigation into ties between President Trump’s campaign and Russian officials” or “investigate possible coordination between President Trump’s associates and Russian officials?”

Maybe too sappy but a good song.
Mueller is allowed to investigate President Obama’s espionage on all the presidential candidates and who knows what others. Mueller is allowed to investigate the Podesta/Russia relation. He is allowed to investigate the Russia/Clinton uranium dealings
All this Trump hysteria and daily faux outrage will lead to exhaustion and further fragmentation of their party. You see it already manifesting itself in the drop off of the DNC fundraising.
“The nature of the evidence is irrelevant; it’s the seriousness of the charge that matters.” You simply need to make a harsh, totally unfounded charge, and that’s reason enough to investigate. - Rush
Their hysteria is a wonderful thing to behold.
