Do Trump voters know there is a serious investigation going on right now?

I don't think so. They may have heard about it but they think its nothing. The Trump voters are so ignorant it scares me.

Trump voters are going to be completely surprised and shocked when people that worked for Trump are indicted. Charges of obstruction of justice are brought against Trump.

Most people that are in Trump's base don't watch CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, etc. And they don't read the NYT, Wapo, etc. The only "news" sources they pay attention to are Fox and Breitbart.

So if Fox and Breitbart don't report on something, these viewers have no idea it's going on. It's highly likely most of them have no idea this investigation is as serious as it is.

Comrade Casino, the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, and his cabal of colluding republican cronies, are systematically whining and crying and spinning like scumbucket sinners about some "fake poutrage pointy-headed libs, sore-losers snowflakes phony russian scandal.

That's about it.

They really don't comprehend the ACTS OF WAR that have been, and that sill are being waged against America, according to all 17 US Intelligence Agencies. So in their failure to defend America against treason, they are complicit TreasonWeasels.

they have secretly known that for 20 years or so, the Repubs in Congress have been investigating Clintons as a sort of hobby.

They figure the current investigations are of the same seriousness of the Benghazi fiasco.

Weak minds only listen to news that they like to hear. Strong minds listen to all news, whether it's positive or negative toward their specific beliefs.

One in which they seriously believe Trump will eventually be exonerated. Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups.

When Trump finally is indicted, they will blame it all on an evil liberal plot to steal the presidency from them.

And those places tell the all-knowing, super geniuses it's a witch hunt lead by the left and it's fake. So that's what they believe. And ain't no book smart libitard gonna be able to pull the wool over those real 'merkians. No sirree, they are just so smart. Whatever.

Ever try to talk to one from the crazy? Usually, it starts with the pretty innocent greeting of "Hi." It generally goes downhill from there, and I didn't even get a dotard = hitler comment in yet before their eyes roll back turn red, foam starts appearing round their mouth, arms flailing about like they are trying to fly and this screechy yell what ever it is, is loud and high pitch sound that at times sounds like English but more like just gibberish emitting through the foam spewing from the sound hole on it's face. Which is usually by now that same shade of orange the dotard dons. And all I said was "Hi."

They keep saying "they found nothing". They don't even know. I have talked to some this week who get excited and claim he's the "best president we ever had and Obama was the worst". Clueless.
