Ok, so trump didn't collude with Russia in their successful attack on our democracy. The attack

was successful without trump’s, criminally indictable , active help. Russia still attacked our elections, installing trump as their chosen favorite. What are we going to do about that?

NO ONE argues that Russia didn’t successfully interfere in our elections. Are we just going to sit back and let that stand? If we do nothing, if trump does nothing, that seems to me to be colluding after the fact. Perhaps trump is hoping for a repeat in 2020.

If your friend robs a bank and comes to your house and shares the cash he stole with you and you find out where the cash came from...what are the cops going to say. That depends on what you do next. Do you do the honest thing, turn in the cash and your friend? Or do you keep the cash and tell your friend that the next time he robs a bank he is welcome to stop by if he wants.

So we KNOW that Russia interfered in our elections, what do we....what does trump and his administration do next?

then the issue is voters who are naive enough to believe anything they see on the internet, or people pre-disposed to want to believe the lies.

They let Russia help them.

This is a well run operation. Smart people are working on this. They know how our laws work and make use of that. The republican party is fully compromised.

The Russian car and truck driving videos on youtube? Those are not the people running this.

We really don't need the actual Mueller report. He's farmed out all the other crimes and they are still active. If the Mueller report lead to impeachment, that would be it. But we'd still have all the rest.
