This is the question that I've never seen a Trumpist manage to answer convincingly. if there's no "there there", then why were SO many people in the campaign utterly incapable of telling the truth when it came to Russia?

That's the whole thing. Their inability to tell the truth on basic stuff is why there will always be questions. Alternative facts ffs!
 
That's what's so weird to me. Having not read the report, nobody can say at this time there are not impeachable offenses in the report.

SDNY will be dealing in criminal investigations.
There's a big difference between "impeachable offences" and "indictable offences".

The former is a much, MUCH wider category. He's done countless things (even excluding anything behind closed doors) that would qualify as impeachable.

Bear in mind that one of the articles of impeachment against both Nixon and Clinton was lying to the public - something he's done on, what was it, 8000+ occasions now?

The emoluments clause violations alone would have seen Obama (or really any President before him) booted from office.
 
I agree some legitimate concerns/questions exist regarding the meetings and recollections of those present.

I'm not entirely sold the Trump Tower meeting with some Russians was to get dirt on Hillary either. I understand the question may have been put during the meeting saying we have some dirt would you like it ?

Of course they would like it, doesn't mean they got it, wanted it or made further arrangements for it.

As for business meetings in other nations. Well I can only presume business related dealings are handled differently in Russia to other countries
I mean it's hardly the utopia Putin would have you believe.

Ultimately however, the Russians were playing both sides during the election and haven't had too since. The USA, politically is as divided as it has been for a while.

At the end of the day, for what ?
So what was the purpose of the meeting then? Do you believe Don Jnr is still lying about it as the emails setting up the meeting have been published and that is the reason stated in the emails themselves.
“When the New York Times was about to report on email exchanges between Goldstone and Trump Jr., Trump Jr. himself admitted that Goldstone had stated in an email to him that the Russian government was involved and that the purpose of the meeting was to get "dirt on Clinton" and that the meeting concerned a "Russian effort to aid the (Trump) campaign."[5][6] In early July 2017, it was reported that President Donald Trump himself drafted Trump Jr.'s initial misleading statement.[7] The report was later confirmed by the president's attorneys.[8] In July 2018, the president denied knowledge of the meeting.[9]
I’m sorry but I can’t see that you can look at those emails and the meeting itself and come to any conclusions other than it was attempted collusion with the Russian government, from Don Jnr at least.

And I don’t get your “of course they would like it” - isn’t it a tad concerning that the president’s own son is so ethically compromised that he is willing to deal with a hostile government like Russia and put himself in a position, by both taking the meeting and repeatedly lying about it, to be blackmailed by Russia? What would your opinion be if it was discovered that Chelsea Clinton had met with Chinese government operatives in the hope of getting Trump’s tax returns from them?!

Russia have been continuing to interfere with US elections, Trump’s own admin have stated as such
so I don’t understand your last comments.
