There was suspicion, wouldn't it be wise to investigate or just let it slide?
Also, it still doesn't change the fact that this news isn't big. They just looked into where they traveled, that's it.
The conspiracy seems to be more about people trying to take down Trump rather than Trump colluding with Russians to be honest. I haven't really been following it much, but from what I gather it's just paranoid Trump lovers freaking out over a simple, investigation that could lead to something, so far it hasn't really, which is good, it clears his name.

I hear the left and try to be reasonble,though i do fall short often.
But as I said, the left ought to be worried about this corruption, as it will eventually be used against them.

I remember many of us saying that this whole Russia collusion claptrap felt contrived or set up, and the more which is confirmed, the more contrived it feels.
I think the challenge will be to prove it was coordinated among the various players for a political purpose, and not just one innocent and isolated incident leading to another which naturally led to suspicion of collusion with Russia. If coordination can be proven, then other charges -- like FISA fraud -- would be proven.
I have no doubt that's exactly what happened. But I have serious doubts that it can be proven.

So some guy spent some time looking into where some people went to travel and then told someone? This is big news, why?
Bruce Ohr met with Steele and Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson prior to the 2016 election. That conflicts with testimony given by Simpson as well as a memo released by Democrats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Democrats on House Intelligence also claimed in a memo released last year that Ohr did not pass information he gleaned from Fusion GPS or Steele until after the election. But Ohr testified that he contacted top FBI officials almost immediately after his July 30, 2016 meeting with Steele
Nellie Ohr, a former contractor for Fusion GPS, also told lawmakers during an Oct. 19 deposition that she recalls that Christopher Steele gave her husband, Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr, materials from the infamous anti-Trump dossier funded by Democrats.

First 3 minutes of FOX video. Stunning news of Nellie Ohr's opposition Trump work for (Fusion GPS). Research on Melania Trump and all of Trump's children. The Ohr's are the connective tissue between in this whole surveillance abuse allegation. Between Fusion GPS, Glen Simpson, British Spy British intelligence officer who wrote the explosive dossier alleging links between the Donald Trump campaign and Russian officials ... And senior Justice Department Officials.
At least some reporters are worth their salt and doing something.

BS accusations about Trump colluding with Russia has had enormous impacts and is continuing to ruin careers.
Not to mention it has put a huge cloud over America and the first chance they have had in decades to get the country on track and back to being the greatest and strongest nation on earth.
That dossier blew Americas kneecaps out and who ever was responsible should be dealt with.
I just wish it would stop but at this point a win for justice would mean starting from scratch. The trust is gone and justice will make it worse. The US Democrats really did destroy America.

The necessary rules and regulations have already been legislated but the Dems and DoJ plowed right through them with deceit and lies.
People need to be put on trial for trying to overthrow a President, and severely punished if found guilty. The integrity of the American system is at stake. Full disclosure in front of a judge and jury.
The significance of the whole thing cannot be downplayed. This is the biggest American political scandal of all time.
If that's what it comes to, I'm happy with that. But the courtroom isn't the place to find truth or justice. Again, too many loopholes in the law. Too much room for special privileges and sweetheart deals and similar unequal application of the law -- as we've already seen.
