Classified reports have ‘damning evidence’ of Trump campaign’s coordination with Russ

This is not a court of law, it is a court of public opinion; the legal rules of evidence do not apply. And when Congress discusses impeachment, it is not a court of law either. Now, if Mueller's investigation ever leads to criminal indictments, so mote it be, Amen, Selah, then the rules of evidence will apply to those proceedings.

This may be the court of public opinion, but as such it cannot define the things that people BELIEVE as "facts" without something to support it. Nor can those unsupported beliefs be called CRIMES which would lead to impeachment.

Honestly, there has to be something to stick the label on. So far there isn't. And I don't believe there will be anything when all is said and done.

So why is the word evidence in your title rather than the word conjecture, or supposition, speculation, or suspicion?

Just because you can get people to wonder aloud about whether something did or didn't occur is not any kind of evidence in any venue.

The word evidence wether in or out of the courtroom has an actual meaning. Perhaps you'd like to look it up?

More like a (D)rumhead of hype based on the idea that 63 million Russians come to the US and voted Trump into office.....LMFAO.

Because "evidence" was in the source linked in the OP, and there's nothing wrong with that in context. Pocan has read certain classified reports, that's what he's talking about, and their content will be legally admissible even if classified, though they might have to be admitted in evidence under some court order sealing them from publication -- that's done all the time, and not only in cases where national security is involved.

The Dem's own very thoroigh, very expensive post-mortem on the election gives no weight at all to either Comey's indicting Clinton in the court of public opinion, or publiic perceptions of her from her revealed character in the released email.

It came down to her husband's slogan, "It's the economy, stupid." Her pretending, like all the Obama apologists, that thevlast 8 years were rosy, and 8 more sounds peachy was not the winning message.

Tarp money was diverted to Fed block grants to prop up big blue city governments from absolute collapse from plumetting property values, but none of that helped the places that voted Trump. The only areas of the country that saw growth in real estate values and growth in employment and wages was in the areas around Washington DC where bureaucrats live.

Every Democrat with the security clearance to do so has looked at everything that can be looked at and they have all admitted that they have not seen any evidence at all. Not weak evidence not not admissible evidence no evidence at all.

None.

Not yet is your wishfull thinking. Sometimes wishes do come true but that's only because the thing was going to happen whether you wished for it or not.

No matter how hard you wish, no matter how many threads you start, Trump is not going to be impeached.
