Your clairvoyance is so deeply impressive, I may call you 'Delusional'. For the might of the FBI, the soaring intelligence of Mueller, have not produced a scintilla of evidence that President Trump "conspired" with Russia. If you have the smoking gun, hasten to Washington this instant and present it to a desperate Mueller. You will become talk of the town.
But remember: talking with your competitors; negotiating with your competitors; trying to get into their heads; is NOT conspiring. rather it's common sense, a virtual which many Trump haters seem to have totally jettisoned.
For if that is your understanding of CONSPIRE, then off with the heads of Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, LBJ, JFK etc etc etc. For they all did exactly the same.

@HowardP I would wait until Republican Robert Mueller completes his investigation before drawing any conclusions about what evidence does or does not exist.

@luckranger71 Technically you are right. But do you seriously think that if they had valid evidence that would support the impeachment of a sitting President- a president unpopular with both sides of politics - on the grounds of conspiracy with a foreign adversary, it would not have been rushed before congress, and President Pence would already be sitting in the Oval Office. The Special Enquiry has leaked like a sieve, and if anything it has diverged from any serious contemplation of Trump the Conspirer towards the acknowledge (and wholly pathetic) Russian attempts to mess with the American mind.
By the way, any reading of Mueller is that he is the nearest thing to apolitical. There is an historic registration as a Republican, but in practice, he tended to push democratic causes and candidates. Like him or loathe him, he is a good man, but he is as much a republican now as I am a communist now (I was as a student a hundred years ago!)

@HowardP I guess I'm a prick in that I really have no preconception about what Mueller might and might not find, mostly because I appreciate that these investigations are of boggling complexity and mostly financial in evidentiary basis.
So I'd sort of like to have Mueller keep digging up interfering Russian nationals, degenerate crooks like Manafort, and so on. With or without "collusion", with or without any implication on the 2016 election.
