@aroenche428 Did Zack Snyder write this? Because damn, does this make zero sense?
1. You're arguing that it's illegal for a special investigator to find evidence? What do you think "investigate" means?
2. Do you think not being charged with something is the same thing as being innocent? Trump once tweeted "no obstruction (except for I fight back)," which is literally what obstruction of justice is. If asking the FBI to go easy on Michael Flynn and firing James Comey and Jeff Sessions for not being loyal to him (in the latter case, admitting to doing so for that very reason) don't count as obstruction of justice, then Trump could stand in the Rose Garden and say "I'm totally guilty of obstructing justice" and you would still be kissing his ass.
3. "We'd have known about it months ago via leaks." Bullshit. Even if there were leaks, you would still be giving Trump tongue baths.
4. "Zero legs"? Your Dear Leader keeps changing his story on everything from the Trump Tower meeting to how closely he worked with Paul Manafort and you think he has more legs to stand on than the guy who says "Hey, maybe this guy with a history of getting sued for fraud isn't trustworthy"? You want to waste your time, keep watching Styx's videos. Or don't, because your "cat is out of the bag" statement proves you clearly don't pay attention to them. In the article Styx himself linked to in the description, it basically says "one guy on the committee says they haven't found much, but admits things could change, and also other members of the committee stress the importance of keeping things in context." But like a good NPC, you and everyone in this comments section let Trump tell you that he was vindicated because of what one guy said that wasn't even remotely close to what the one guy said.
5. I'd never heard of David Brock before your comment, but since you seem to hate him, I already know he'd make a way better president than Trump. Seriously, I bet you only hate him because he wasn't on your side when you wanted the "Anita Hill is a perjuring lesbian" guy to help discredit Christine Blasey Ford.

If you repeat a lie enough times, it is still a lie. According to the article you yourself linked:
"[Intelligence Committee chairman Richard] Burr was careful to note that more facts may yet be uncovered, but he also made clear that the investigation was nearing an end. 'We know we're getting to the bottom of the barrel because there're not new questions that we're searching for answers to,' Burr said. Democratic Senate investigators who spoke to NBC News on condition of anonymity did not dispute Burr's characterizations, but said they lacked context. 'We were never going find a contract signed in blood saying, Hey Vlad, we're going to collude,' one Democratic aide said. The series of contacts between Trump's associates, his campaign officials, his children and various Russians suggest a campaign willing to accept help from a foreign adversary, the Democrats say. By many counts, Trump and his associates had more than 100 contacts with Russians before the January 2017 presidential inauguration. 'Donald Trump Jr. made clear in his messages that he was willing to accept help from the Russians,' one Democratic Senate investigator said. 'Trump publicly urged the Russians to find Clinton's missing emails.' . . . Predictably, Burr's comments led Trump to tweet that he had been fully vindicated, which is not the case."
Remember when Rudy Giuliani said "I never said there was no collusion"? He tried to cover his tracks by saying that members of the administration might have colluded (even if Trump didn't personally direct them to collude himself) and said as far as Trump knows, there was no collusion. If Trump made Jordan Belfort his economic adviser, for example, even he didn't have any personal involvement in Belfort's crimes, he either didn't know Belfort committed them (in which case, Trump is terrible at conducting background checks) or he knew and hired him anyway. It's the same thing here. Several members of Trump's inner circle lied about having Russian contacts. It might be true that Trump didn't collude, but how many members of Trump's inner circle have to lie about having Russian contacts before you start to question whether Trump is, as he claims, hiring the best people?
