"No collusion"?

How long before we find out that Trump had a secret meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov while he was in Hanoi?

There is still a lot of evidence of collusion, contrary to what Cohen suggested in his hearing yesterday.

There are simply too many secret meetings between Trump and the Russian leaders to write off as non-consequential, in my opinion. We still do not know what Trump and Putin discussed in their secret meetings.

And why is Trump so obsessed about "collusion"? He sounds like his hand is stuck in the cookie jar and he can't get it out...

Defining it is about as useful as defining “socialism” or “obscenity.”

What Cohen testified to no doubt placed Trump as the party with knowledge and assent to his campaign’s dealings with Russia.

It was damning, and that was the open testimony. Who knows what will be revealed in today’s closed testimony.

...and to give their investigations more credibility.

It would make it more difficult for the Republicans to criticize.

But they should continue to investigate after the Mueller report, unless Mueller indicts or recommends impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors.
