Liberal Democrats could yet see their dreams come true.

Last week, a new poll from the liberal outfit Public Policy Polling (PPP) asked Americans if President Trump should resign if evidence emerges that his campaign worked with Russia to help defeat Hillary Clinton. A majority, 53 percent, said he should resign.

That is important because PPP also found that 44 percent of Americans already believe that Trump’s campaign did just that.

ADVERTISEMENT It is no fantasy to say the drip-drip-drip of the Trump-Russia investigations is draining this presidency of political capital. The president’s historically high disapproval rating — 51 percent in the latest McClatchy poll — tells the same story.

That’s why astute Republicans are starting to look out for themselves.

The first Republican to begin to run for cover was Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who decided to recuse himself from any role in the investigation. Last week Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser, sought immunity in exchange for his testimony to congressional investigators.

A majority of Americans want a special prosecutor — including 39 percent of Republicans, according to one poll. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has called for Congress to form a bipartisan select committee to probe ties between Russia and the Trump camp.

Juan Williams.  Now there's a name I'd love never to hear again.  What a terminally annoying person.

I don't doubt that there is a push by the DEMS to impeach Pres. Trump.  Right now I think Trump should be concerned with violating nepotism laws and it would seem that with Jared making business deals with China, perhaps it is Trump and Jared's ties with China that should be investigated rather than Russia.

This is just a masturbatory fantasy of Juan's and most Leftists.

They are all still mentally jerking off over what was done with Watergate and would like to create another centerfold for their future posterity of taking out a president that is not seen or widely accepted as one of their own.

Colluding with the Russians would be "high crimes and misdemeanors" and impeachable, for sure.

Do I think Trump did it?

No way. He can't even collude with the conservatives in Congress to get sh!t done. Colluding with a foreign power would be all but impossible for this jackwad.

I can't stand Trump, but you can't impeach a Prez because you don't like him. Otherwise the President would simply serve at the pleasure of Congress and we'd basically have a Parliamentary system.

[INVAR]

Isn't it amazing that when the Democrat Left colluded with the Soviets at the height of the Cold War (such as the miraculous visit by Clinton to Moscow and Red Square where he paid Homage to Lenin on Xmas 1969) that it was ignored and excused and justified - but now because Trump offends them - colluding with Russia is being said to be treason by the same people who excused worse collusion in the past?  Or the dismissal of evidence that shows the KGB was recruiting them on college campuses and directing them to interfere with past elections.

No.  That never happened they say.

I think they are jealous of Trump having perceived relations with the KGB and Russkies because in their feeble minds, in order to be Besties, only THEY can pal around with and capitulate to Putin.
