Similarly I have never before thought of Captain Kangaroo, Mr Green Jeans or Elvis for Potus. But I'm against them too. I'm against idiots for president. And I didn't make the declarative "no evidence is evidence." You made a categorical statement, I thought about what you said and simply resisted it in my words, then you mischaracterized my words. But, you are free to do that.
The convictions and plea deals, which you also shortchange as to degree and quantity, surrounding the Potus, particularly those that are about lying to law enforcement who are investigating the Trump campaign and Russia meddling are themselves evidence of obstruction of justice and that serves the end of hiding evidence and is consistent with a successful thwarting of detection of collusion between Russia and Trump and his minions. Those post campaign acts are themselves in furtherance of a conspiracy.
Trump has already been implicated in crimes that sent a guy to jail, and that guy sang and implicated Trump in others. So, not even having the benefit
of Muellers report this investigation has implicated the Potus in crime. And that is good.
The report makes it clear that there are no further indictments coming from any "collusion" not one single US citizen was indicted for conspiring with the Russians, even after this prosecutor, whose sole job is prosecuting crimes, got deep into close confidants and gave them deals to lower sentencing and gave every incentive to lie about it to lower sentencing time.
Your "evidence" clearly indicates the opposite of what you insist.
While I agree I don't like Trump, I still believe that his election kept out somebody who actually was a deliberate criminal. He was still the better choice between the sh*t sandwich and the douche.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
