Finding tangible evidence takes time. One piece of evidence can usually lead to another, though, and I'm sure the special investigator will take his time and due diligence.

Even if stuff like the news of Trump Jr. doesn't keep coming, I doubt democrats will drop the issue... especially not after incidents like the Benghazi hearings went for years and years.

Probably not, this is the line the Dems have drawn in the sand. They'll live or die by Russia.

Not sure how much time they need to deem the matter "thoroughly investigated" a lot of $$$ and resources are being dumped into this. Nothing to show for it.

The Russian lawyer who penetrated Donald Trump’s inner circle was initially cleared into the United States by the Justice Department under “extraordinary circumstances” before she embarked on a lobbying campaign last year that ensnared the president’s eldest son, members of Congress, journalists and State Department officials, according to court and Justice Department documents and interviews.

This revelation means it was the Obama Justice Department that enabled the newest and most intriguing figure in the Russia-Trump investigation to enter the country without a visa.

Later, a series of events between an intermediary for the attorney and the Trump campaign ultimately led to the controversy surrounding the president's eldest son.

Just five days after meeting in June 2016 at Trump Tower with Donald Trump Jr., presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner and then Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Moscow attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya showed up in Washington in the front row of a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Russia policy, video footage of the hearing shows.

Nothing except Trump Jr tweeting a confession and supporting evidence.

Of what crime? What crime did he confess, and what evidence supports said crime?



Probably.... Nothing says political justice like destroying others property and looting.

So on June 7, in the early afternoon, the meeting between Donald Trump Jr and the Russian lawyer is sealed in an e-mail exchange. Coincidence? Just a few hours later, Donald Trump promises, at a press conference in his Westchester golf club (New York State), "very, very interesting" revelations about Hillary Clinton, and a "major speech" Which will take place, "he said," in the course of next week ". On the 9th, the day of the meeting between his son and Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Republican candidate evokes, in a Tweet, the 33,000 missing e-mails from Mrs. Clinton's account. But the following week, it, will take place without "major speech".

Disturbingly, on June 12, Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, announces that he is preparing to make public new mails from the former Secretary of State. Two days later, the National Democratic Committee (DNC) claims to have been the victim of an attack by Russian computer hackers. On the 15th, a hacker known as "Guccifer 2.0" posts documents stolen from the DNC. Donald Trump then accuses the Democrats of being the origin of piracy in order to mask matters concerning their candidate.

Three days later the Washington Post claimed that the Trump campaign team was trying to influence the Republican Party to soften the program of sanctions against the Russians imposed after the annexation of the Crimea. New salvo of publications against Hillary Clinton by Guccifer 2.0.

In mid-July, three Trump Carter Page counselors, J. D. Gordon and Walid Phares, met with Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak in Cleveland, Ohio. They say they wish that relations with Moscow will improve. Two days before the opening of the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia (July 25-28), WikiLeaks publishes nearly 2,000 emails from the DNC. Some say Democratic officials have favored candidate Clinton to the detriment of his opponent, Bernie Sanders. When, on the following day, journalist George Stephanopoulos of ABC, asked whether there was any link between the Trump campaign and the regime of Vladimir Putin, Paul Manafort replied: "No, there is none. And you know, there's no basis for that. "
