More like smoking GUNS in case of the "Trump organization" as you put.
The national security advisor, the Attorney General, the son-in-law, the "advisor" who was recruited to spy, Manafort, Stone, Erik Prince, etc. The Trump "organization" is a feast for Russian spies.
Have you already forgotten that ruckus with Eric Holder's DOJ and the AP reporters...and James Rosen...and Sharyl Atkinson? Then there's that whole IRS thing. Like I said, the Obama administration has a history of abuse of power here, and used the Espionage Act SEVEN times to go after leakers (that has been done just 4 other times, in HISTORY).
What actual facts on record? I'm going off of comments from Republican AND Democrat reps on the investigative committees, and Directors of the CIA and FBI, who have said thus far there is no evidence of collusion. The "smoking" you refer to has all been fake news or incidental contacts (Guccifer2.0 making a public tweet or two to Stone is a nothingburger).
Where are the warrants giving legal clearance to surveil US citizens? The wide latitude given for "legality" does not mean there hasn't been a massive abuse of power.
We KNOW there is an investigation, and we KNOW the Trump team was unmasked in incidental collection, and we KNOW that was [illegally] leaked. We deserve to know the depth of the investigations and the justifications because there is huge potential of abuse and misuse of govt intel to target political opponents (which, by the way, is at least as concerning as any Russian attempts to interfere).
You're being partisan if you think either of these issues are a non-issue, settled or have a conclusion one way or the other.
