And let’s not forget, because the left would love it if we did, Trump was responding to a hypothetical. The closest thing to what he described that actually happened was Don Jr., not Sr., having that brief meeting with that Russian chick and walking out about 5 minutes into it. On the other hand reaching out to a foreign spy and paying him to find dirt on the opposition candidate was not a hypothetical. It actually occurred at the hands of Clinton.
To build a road you have to establish a base for it. Trump said he would listen, might refer it to the FBI, and maybe just kick the carrying party out of his office. Based laid, next comes the prep and shoulder work. The media gets hysterical. Barr and Durham show up with the evidence. When it looks nice then we bury it under asphalt.
