If Mueller says Trump committed a crime, then the public will care. Until then they just don't give two shits, and at this point, the media, and GFY left, is just wasting their breath and keystrokes. They go their special investigator. Now sit back and see what happens.

And Kane, I am not accusing you of that at all. You are one of the EXTREMELY small group of Democrats/Liberals that are rational and have any credibility talking about politics on this board. I wish more followed your lead.
I heard someone, I can't remember who it was, state that all this stuff about Russia, Trump, investigations etc. are all just exhausting. To me, that is the perfect word for it. I think there is a small group of people that feed on it one way or another and the news is catering to their endless appetites for it. I would rather they devote that time to his budget, the healthcare fight, the situations in the Middle East and North Korea. Like you say, let Mueller do his job and let's see what comes of it. If it is bad, we deal with it appropriately. If it turns out to be nothing, we move on. All that said, I think Trump plays into it and creates at least some of this chaos himself. He can't seem to help himself when it comes to talking/tweeting. It is almost like he is secretly enjoying it. lol
