Werner stated, ?I?ve heard from several lawmakers of both parties?that they do not hear about this issue in town halls, from their voters, when they go home. They don?t hear about Russia. They hear about healthcare. They hear about jobs. So, they aren?t getting pressure from constituents, even Democrats, on this issue.?"

I don't doubt that for a minute. I think most people are more worried about having a job and affordable healthcare. Those are more pressing events in their lives than any Russia scandal. Hell, I'm one of them. I have a pre-existing condition so healthcare is a big issue for me. I would, however, argue, that the job of law enforcement is not to just investigate and go after laws that people want to hear about but the law in general. If there is a worry that Trump's campaign colluded with the Russians, we should investigate it. To be honest, I hope they don't find anything actionable and this is all a big goose hunt. If we find that they there was collusion it will potentially send shockwaves through our electoral system and put the word out to our enemies that even our leaders at the highest level can be manipulated.
