Well, yeah, but keep in mind, it was Trump who threatened Clinton directly in a debate by saying that he was going to get a special prosecutor to "look into her situation." "Her situation" being "EMAILS." I'm not saying we should lock Trump up based on the criteria he laid out in his case against Clinton, because that criteria was insane, but let's face the facts: the dude kind of escalated poo poo over the past couple years.

It's not even about the actual Russian conspiracy anymore but I totally believe that Trump is such a flailing idiot that he's miring himself so deep in this quagmire that he'll hang himself on Obstruction or some poo poo trying to force it to go away instead of just kicking back and letting it die quietly.

I will applaud all of this for no higher reason than to watch all the "11d chess MAGA" idiots be proven they worship a dunce.

Are you just one of those people who won't believe unsourced reporting, which is one of the most important aspects of journalism?

Here's a good example of why it's almost certainly 100% true: The WH is not refuting it and is in fact just just escalating attacks on Comey

quote:

"The President has always emphasized the importance of making deals with Russia as it relates to Syria, Ukraine, defeating ISIS and other key issues for the benefit and safety of the American people," Spicer said in a statement to CNN. "By grandstanding and politicizing the investigation into Russia's actions, James Comey created unnecessary pressure on our ability to engage and negotiate with Russia."

Is there a recording of Trump saying that in the closed door meeting with the Russian minister? I would very much like to hear it.
It was written down in a White House memo as what Trump said to the Russians. This is the White House themselves writing it down and saying that Trump said it. Why do you think Spicer all but confirmed it? Trump said it. Deal with it.

They had proof. That's how journalism works. You don't have to reveal your sources at the scene, and in fact doing so could prove harmful to both the quality of reporting and to the person reported as the source. Are you entirely ignorant on this.
