Boy, this is getting old. Strike that, it's beyond old. Far more attention and time are being spent on "gotchas" and scandals and leaks than in fixing our problems. Damn near nothing but dueling rumors, predictions of jail terms and claims that "this time we've got 'em". Agree or disagree?
This Trump investigation is like reading the best spy novel ever written, and that's exactly what it's going to be when someone sits down to write it. I love spy novels. Very enjoyable--especially since Trump supporters were warned over and over again not to vote for him.
It this were just happening during Trump's administration, that would be one thing. But this has been going on for YEARS.
If we've passed the point where we want to improve things, I guess this is all fine. Because this will obviously continue regardless of which party is in the White House.

Sure it does, but let's face it this is historic. Never before have we watched a campaign collude with a Foreign adversary to interfere into an American election and get caught. Most Presidents walk into office, and everything is quite--you may disagree with their policies, but nothing and I mean nothing in our history compares to this one.
As James Clapper stated this is 1000 times worse than Watergate.

As far as my spy novel comment it starts right here.
"GCHQ--first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump and known or suspected Russian agents, a source close to UK intelligence said. This intelligence was passed to the US as part of a routine exchange of information, they added.
Over the next six months, until summer 2016, a number of western agencies shared further information on contacts between Trump’s inner circle and Russians, sources said.
The European countries that passed on electronic intelligence – known as sigint – included Germany, Estonia and Poland. Australia, a member of the “Five Eyes” spying alliance that also includes the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand, also relayed material, one source said."
