I voted no, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.  My feeling from the beginning has been that the Trump campaign was too incompetent to successfully carry out such a covert operation without promptly getting caught.  I suspect that all this hysteria will backfire if and when the FBI says that nothing is there, and he'll get a fairly significant approval bump.

If the Trump campaign did indeed carry out such a 'covert operation' and promptly get caught then why has no one produced any such evidence or even claimed that such evidence exists? On the contrary Comey and others have repeatedly said that they are not aware of any such evidence of collusion.

So if the Trump campaign is so inept as to not be able to carry out such a covert operation without being caught

and given that there is no indication that they have been caught in this way

wouldn't that suggest that no such 'covert operation' ever happened in the first place.

I believe I implied that I don't think they colluded with the Russians.  There should still be an investigation, but until we see evidence, I don't know if there's any reason to believe the connection is there.

That said, I believed the same thing about Hillary Clinton's FBI investigation.  Hysteria in these circumstances is always the wrong thing to do, whether on the left or right.
