If we are shown very convincing and hard evidence I do not think the Trump loyalists will believe it. They will deny every single piece of evidence that will be shown.

You have denied the complete lack of any evidence of any crime that has been committed so far, and continue to demand that the search go on. How many years shall we search for? Indefinitely until something to prove your point turns up?

Can we clarify exactly what the evidence of wrong doing is?

No, because none of us know what evidence there is.  Too many people assume they have seen all the evidence.

all we have seen is the dog and pony show.  The real Investigation takes place behind the scenes.

Why is there an assumption that there is evidence at all? I find it hard to believe that, through six months of this with virtually every reporter in the known universe looking for it, not a shred of direct evidence has surfaced, if there is indeed a shred of direct evidence. Me finding it hard to believe doesn't mean it's not there. However, the whole thing has went on for quite a long time for there to be nothing.

Several senators who go into the secure sessions tell us there is no evidence of collusion.

The only thing was the president saying he hoped that what Flyn had done could be let go.....

He did not say that the president was doing something illegal.  It just made him queasy  or something like that.....

He's just setting up the president to have the Democratic investigators find something (anything) the president may have done.

Enemies of the state, they are....

We have not seen anything yet.

Soft evidence which is not really going to incriminate anyone.

1. Word of mouth or an opinion

2. A testimony

Hard evidence

1. Finger prints

2. Camera surveillance

3. DNA

4. Audio tapes

5. Photographs

The above is just an example. And the evidence must be confirmed by two persons.

I have never believed there was collusion between Trump and the Russians.  But that is not what the investigation is about, it is about uncovering the extent to which Russia interfered with and influenced our election process.   

That is a worthwhile goal so that we can counter such actions in the future.

The special council investigation is about obstruction of justice.  Supposedly the president was putting pressure on Comey when he said he hoped he would let Flyn slide since he had been fired. Both agreed Flyn was a good person.  

Unfortunately these special investigation things seldom stay with the original goals.  They are by nature a witch hunt to find anything possible to bring down a person.

There is evidence made public already. James Comey's testimony under oath that reiterated what he stated in January about president Trump and this Russia investigation. 

The dog and pony show that performs after that would be any news reporting outlet that hopes to circumnavigate the testimony. And continue with the prior false reporting that claimed president Trump did try to interfere with the investigation.
