For those who feel that, because "collusion" is not a crime, the investigation needs to end so that Trump can get back to running the country, consider:
What if in 2020 a socialist candidate running as a democrat colludes with the European Union to blanket social media with socialist propaganda in order to swing the election to the democrats and put the United States more in line with liberal Western European values?
Would your reaction be the same? Would you prefer there be no investigation, since collusion is not a crime anyway, and say "the voters have spoken, let the president do his job?" Would you think an investigation in that case would be a witch hunt?

1. There is no law that says the sort of "collusion" you describe is a crime.
2. That means, if a socialist candidate does the sort of thing you describe, it is not a crime.
3. Personally, I don't care what anyone does...no matter what country they come from...to blanket social media with their particular brand of propaganda. I am not swayed by propaganda, just as I'm not swayed by the propaganda that comes out of the mainstream media. I absorb information from a variety of sources, evaluate that information using my knowledge and powers of reason and logic and make my own decisions.
Tell me...do you think the Hillary campaign should be investigated for their collusion with the mainstream media in their attempts to swing the election towards her? I don't, even though there is direct evidence that such collusion happened.
You elected a common flimflam man as your leader. What the heck did expect to happen?
And why do you think Mueller isn't investigating criminal activities, if they exist? I know Trump can easily fool most of his base with this talk of collusion, but I'm willing to bet Mueller is a tad less gullible than the average Trump supporter.

ah, but conspiracy to commit fraud is very much a crime1. There is no law that says the sort of "collusion" you describe is a crime.

Forget the word 'collusion'. Put it right out of your mind. Mueller is looking into Russian interference. It's beyond my understanding why any American would object to his investigation. Do you want Russian interference to be ignored for the sake of not taking the chance of stumbling on wrong-doing by the President?
ah, but conspiracy to commit fraud is very much a crime
another expression for that is collusion
surprised you did not already know this
Collusion - whatever that vague term actually means - is not a crime.
What you propose in your second sentence is a federal crime.
And if there is probable cause to believe it occurred, should be investigated, yes?
Your #2 is not correct.

That’s a silly question. Of course.

Break the laws, regardless of political stripe, get charged, go to trial or make a plea deal
Now keep on reaching for reasons to justify in your mind why Republicans can break the laws, and they should not be investigated, and if the evidence is present, then charge the buggers.
Did you read the responses? Below sinks your OP, sends it to the proverbial dustbin.
