You guys cited ONE example of a guy who said, "Well, IF it's true, he should be impeached."

And how, exactly, are we supposed to determine if it's true or not if there's no investigation?

Except for the fact that Republicans aren't. You guys cited ONE example of a guy who said, "Well, IF it's true, he should be impeached." Meanwhile EVERYBODY of note shouting out for impeachment or investigation is a Democrat.

“I have long called for a special congressional committee to investigate Russia's interference in the 2016 election. The president's decision to remove the FBI Director only confirms the need and the urgency of such a committee." - Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz)

"I'm uncomfortable with the timing of all this, and that's why I think an independent prosecutor should be on the table if in fact the select committee in the Senate and the House cannot get to answers." - Sen. Dean Heller (R. Nev.)

"Whether or not you are a supporter of Mr. James Comey's actions as FBI Director, the timing of his firing -- in the middle of an investigation into Russia's interference in our election -- is serious cause for concern." - Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Ala). When asked about a special prosecutor, she opined "I think it needs to be considered."

“My staff and I are reviewing legislation to establish an independent commission on Russia." - Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) - same guy who said Trump should be impeached if the allegations against him are true.

“The extraordinary decision to fire Director Comey definitely raises questions which must be answered. I believe these circumstances call for an independent investigation that the American people can trust with confidence." - Rep. Erik Paulsen (R-Minn)

“The timing of the firing makes it necessary to hand the investigation over to an independent prosecutor so it’s above reproach." - Rep Tom McClintock (R-Calif)

"This is very concerning and we've got to get to the bottom of this. We've got to get answers. What it really is is, when this is done, the American people need to know that justice was served, either way." - Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill), Republican deputy whip. In the same interview, he said he would support either an independent commission or a special prosecutor.

I mean, I can keep going if you really want me to, but I'm running up against the character limit for this post and I think you get the drift.

"Innocent people don't get accused of crimes!" - Erik, Darkknight, etc

That's a pretty big reach from what I actually said.

Note that I've never said Trump is guilty of anything; I've said I don't know. You don't know either, regardless of the bullshit you're spouting about him being completely 100% innocent.

The thing is, there's enough circumstantial evidence - from the leaks (which I note you seem to have stopped saying are a made-up Post story) to Russia's election interference in Trump's favour to the Trump team's contact with Russia to Trump's own comments - to suggest that there is the distinct *possibility* that Trump has done something illegal (or at least unethical). Note that's "possibility", not certainty. That's why people are calling for an investigation - to look into the matter from a non-partisan basis and determine whether or not anything illegal was actually done.
