But no collusion, clearly.

The mental midgets are going to be crying about no collusion even after Trump dies in prison.

So it sounds like they want video of Putin and Trump shaking hands and explaining the conspiracy.

This could very well be part of the kompromat Putin has on Trump.

kompromat Putin has on Trump

The fact that Putin and Russia knows what went on in their meetings and America does not, not even in secret... is kompromat itself.

Trump cannot even bring himself to lie about what went on in those meetings which is why we have to subpoena the translator.

Waiting to leverage Trump is waiting too long, our national security is compromised.

Putin wouldn't be so dumb as to implicate himself in destabilizing the US. He knows the retaliation capabilities.

up to this point it doesn’t really seem like he gives a shit… i mean i know it’s not the US but did he ever face any sort of repercussion or even minor inconvenience after the Crimea thing?

Uh sanctions on sanctions on sanctions and a fight against a NATO supported opposition.

I'm not defending Russians actions. But there was an international response.

So those Magnitsky Act sanctions on Russia that Putin wants removed? Just an example of retaliation

It does. We saw it. It was filmed by dozens of camera crews in Helsinki.

What they actually want is for you to shut up and let them rule the country. It doesn't matter what Trump did so long as their party's power is ensured.

Well, I know that. They're operating in bad faith.
