Isn’t it so very odd.

Before the Election, we have the US government investigating a party’s nominee. Sometimes candidates have misused prior office for gain, colluded in receiving money with family members or violated national security and foreign contact laws. However in this case. we decide not to investigate the candidate committing these crimes, but instead, we wiretap the candidate from the opposite party of the President.

We let the obvious criminal slide on her email criminality, ignore the rest of the crimes and instead, illegally wiretap the challenger to our party, the Democrat Party.

You raise a good point and allude to something sadly ironic about all this. The POTUS and the Sec of State both had unlimited access to Russia and any other country’s information leading into the campaign. This is all protected by Executive Privilege. Cannot be investigated. Even after she resigned as Sec of State she maintained her clearance and access, not to mention her communications were in her sole custody. All that, yet somehow the wildest of accusations on the slimmest of evidence is enough for the entire establishment to come down like a ton of bricks.

I know your point was different, and well taken. The number of scandals runs so high that they seem to count on making everyone too dizzy to investigate. The nexus between the CF and the campaign, pay to play, fundraising for private donations while in high office, the use of high office to spy on opposition, abuse of power are just some of scores of alleged crimes for which there is solid evidence to justify investigation. Yet the country is on a wild goose chase.

I’m wagering that Meuller doesn’t come with a single indictment related to the primary investigation. He’ll get someone for lying, or he’ll have dug up an old financial crime from one of Trump’s cronies. But on the main allegation a) there is probably no crime to charge and b) no evidence even if there were a crime to charge.
