> [@WillFarnaby](#): > > This is what makes me think that the Russian Conspiracy theorists should be hung out to dry by anyone with any sense of decency. Only they can tell us why they were so bizarrely fixated on the Russia angle when there were other things to hang on Trump. I think they were duped by the spooks and warmongers who wanted to antagonize Russia. Brennan, Clapper, etc. I think they were duped by the massive amount of actual evidence of interaction between the campaign team and Russians that members of the campaign team kept lying about and trying to cover up, up to and including lying under oath. ---

I get that there are ongoing legal investigations into the Trump organization, but I tend to doubt that Trump or his children are going to be charged with crimes. For one thing, the declination to suggest indictments against the Trump family strengthens him politically. Accurate or not - and I think not - much of the press is already framing this as exoneration and ‘no collusion,’ which is only going to embolden the president. Truth be told, I think the only ones who ever really cared about this investigation were diehard progressives like most of us here on SDMB, but a lot of people, even a lot of people who aren’t Trump fans, never really gave a toss about this investigation. And future investigations are just going to seem like sour grapes. You want to impeach the president? Let him destroy the economy or make an extremely dumb foreign policy decision that gets a lot of American troops killed. Then he’ll be impeached and maybe even imprisoneed - for something. But not until then. ---

Maybe it’s time to stop investigating Trump/Russian ties and start looking at Trump/China ties. One notable expert thinks that’s a good idea. “All of the fools that are so focused on looking only at Russia should start also looking in another direction, China.” - [@realDonaldTrump](https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1030782921500766209) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/investigating-trump-post-mueller/831477.md?page=2)
