“Democrats can’t find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey’s testimony. No Smocking Gun...No Collusion.” @FoxNews
That’s because there was NO COLLUSION. So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution,.......which it was not (but even if it was, it is only a CIVIL CASE, like Obama’s - but it was done correctly by a lawyer and there would not even be a fine. Lawyer’s liability if he made a mistake, not me). Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced. WITCH HUNT!
BUT there is a glimmer of hope!
Impeachment is a political process, and I don’t see a majority in this Congress voting in favor of that.
Not even the Dems. It's a very long process and the payback is minimal. They will instead want drag Trump and the GOP in the mud for as long as possible and show the hubris to the World, maybe all the way to 2020.

I'd find it problematic for Mueller to decline charging him for corruption cultivated before a president is sworn into office.
I wonder how smo[c]king the gun would have to be for Trump and his supporters? It reminds me of the anti-evolution folks arguing that any "missing link" we find is not enough to prove evolution. It's the same logical fallacy (I'm told is called argumentum ad ignorantiam: saying that your lack of evidence is proof of my position)
Frankly, letting a sitting president get away with it is dangerous. When it's something like this, where he's potentially colluding with a foreign power for his own enrichment. That can't be above the law.We'd have to settle with impeachment for the emoluments infractions or conspiracy to murder a journalist, but a candidate being above the law is a real danger point of no return...

Mr. Welch: Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?
Here's a weird take on the "smocking gun" thing. I don't know who this person is, but he/she thinks it was Ivanka who composed the tweet containing the word "smocking" (twice), and this person is saying that the use of the word is code for 'war' for the QAnon crackpots.
It sounds like total lunacy to me, but stranger things have happened.
I suspect an application of Occam's razor is the best strategy here: Trump can't spell. He wrote "smocking" twice, so he clearly think that's how it is spelled.
I don't hold poor spelling skills against anyone. I'm not a great speller either, but when one is POTUS and pontificating about public policy, doesn't it make sense to triple and quadruple check your work before hitting "save" or "send"?
