His days were numbered either way, especially with how he handled the email thing. And investigations have already been put into Russian collaboration since the election - nothing has shown a direct connection with Trump so far. Its been 7 months, yet nothing has come up. Its a story that the leftist media has been dragging on because they want to find something to destroy his presidency, but the simple fact is that the Russian's did not "rig" the election...

Oh, so they're investigating nothing, just to make it look bad for Trump, after basically giving Trump the election victory? Investigations can take a lot of time, especially when there's powerful people involved. This isn't a routine investigation. Also, it'd be foolish to think Russia had nothing to do with the election for sure. Maybe it didn't, or maybe the effect was quite small, but I doubt you have access to the information necessary to make any kind of conclusions about the situation. Neither do I, but I'm not claiming anything to be certain about the situation.

Of course Russia "influenced" the election! Hell I'm sure other countries have tried in the past, and I'm sure the United States have done the same (in fact, they did with Russia in the 90s as well). That was apparent with wiki-leaks. Even so, the Russians didn't hack the machines, they didn't force people to vote Trump, and the ballots weren't stuffed, meaning the election wasn't rigged. I understand investigations, but when the media is painting this as Trump working with Russia, when nothing has come out to prove that, I do have an issue with that.
