    Collusion is not a crime, so it is definitely not about collusion.

    You do not know anything. You didn't know Michael Flynn would be indicted before it happened. You didn't know the other indictments would happen because you aren't in the room.

    This **** from you is exhausting.

    I know if the FBI knew Trump cheated they'd try to put an end to the presidency as soon as possible

    Why would they keep letting him make law especially if they are handling out indictments

    Collusion to rig an election with foreign help isn't a crime?

    Because letting his presidency go on would complicate matters. Everything he is doing policy wise would have to be unwound

    Because the FBI doesn't operate like that? The FBI is full of expert legal minds. They aren't going to bring forth charges to a prosecutor untill their are virtually no holes in their findings and suggestions. It's very thorough.

    Okay but you act as if the FBI has institutional powers to do what you are asking.

    The only power they have here is recommending charges and they aren't going to recommend charges untill they have investigated every nook and cranny with no holes.

    Did you think Watergate was a witch hunt? Do you know how long the Watergate investigation took?

    FIrst of all, the FBI can't really do much about it, secondly they've damaged their credibility so much lately that they haven't given people much reason to take them seriously.

    When Comey and the Hillary supporters working the Hillary case decided to pick politics over doing the right thing, they irreparably harmed the image of the FBI....and their actions since then have only made things worse.

    Conspiracy is a crime. Collusion is not.

    That is beyond the scope of the investigation. Mueller will conclude the investigation and present his findings to Congress at that time. Congress can either act on the findings or not. It is not up to him to decide that matters would be complicated and that policies would be unwound. That's not how it works.

    No, you don't know that. You have no sense of where the investigation stands, nor do I. Yet you have repeatedly rushed to judgment throughout this year and looked wrong every time news has actually happened. Just be patient.

    Are you a believer in the deep state? If you do, your statement here makes sense. If not, you are quite ignorance of how our government work, especially how an investigation work.

    So, are you a believer of the deep state?

    But you don't know whether the charges against Flynn had anything to do with collusion. Plea deals usually involve less serious charges filed in exchange for information about larger crimes committed.

    The FBI would not be in a hurry, they would take their time and get it right and get EVERYONE associated.......just like Watergate that took 18+ months.

    This is not a matter of HURRY UP, this is a matter of get it right.

    Exactly. They are investigating the damn President of the United States. They know he's going to have the most powerful legal team in existence. They want absolutely no holes that could dismiss evidence or throw the case.
