There was no evidence of him being a Russian asset. The Steele dossier and the corresponding DNC opposition research have been discredited. Remember there were 4 years of Democratic Party government. They could never find enough to indict him on treason.

The best option to actually convict him was in Atlanta for racketeering to win an election. There the democratic attorney general blew it by hiring the prosecutor she was sleeping with.

Treason is strictly defined in the constitution and doesn't apply here because we aren't at war with Russia.

He probably did engage in seditious conspiracy or such things with them, via Roger Stone and Wikileaks, but they successfully obstructed justice enough to get away with it.

Discredited how? I recall a whole bunch of people in his administration getting arrested. (Though not the president himself.)

Their best option...?

Wouldn't their best option be to put up a candidate and policies that voters actually liked?

[orochimaaru]

They as in the republicans did. Trump won the popular vote. The democrats are a complete shit show. They still are and seem completely blind to the reasons they lost.

[lazyeye]

Exactly.
