The media knows it's crap too.
It was always just a pretext to get a Special Counsel with his foot in the door of Trump's businesses to poke around with a team of high-priced, rabidly anti-Trump lawyers.
Eventually the investigation will turn up something, could be bribery of a foreign official to approve a Trump hotel in that country, a false statement to the IRS in connection with his taxes, an antitrust violation over conversations he had with other hotel moguls, or who knows what. Something.
Investigate any big international company long enough and you will find something.
Are the taxpayers paying for all this investigation?
