Why is there a Special Prosecutor and congressional hearings?

NO EVIDENCE AT ALL of any collusion between the Trump Campaign and the Russkies. NONE. Trump himself isn't even under investigation.

We know this to be the truth. So why are we still beating this horse?

Because people are sheep and public opinion is often shaped through beating a drum with any mantra that the MSM can get to 'stick'.

The "Muh Russians" thing stuck, and the idiots ran with it. Public opinion was shaped by Soros and Trump's only shot at redemption was entertaining this clown-shite show...

Because the horse is not dead.

Let me ask you straight up. Does it seem to you that Trump has been acting like a man who has nothing to hide?

Perfect example of your point.

Because Trump fired the FBI director that was investigating his campaign for collusion with Russia after pressuring him to drop a criminal investigation into his former national security advisor.

Also, Trump WASN'T individually under FBI investigation, but the campaign that he was in charge of was, and at this point he is certainly under investigation by the special counsel for at least obstruction of justice.

Glad we cleared that up!

And there was absolutely no basis for this "investigation" to even be opened in the first place. Even if Carter Page did something suspicious, there's no reason for Comey NOT to tell America that Trump was NOT under investigation. He is the POTUS, not an average Joe. He deserves to be cleared publicly.

And let me ask you another straight up question. Did Sessions, during his testimony today, look like he was a man who had nothing to hide?

He did his best Edwin Edwards imitation when answering.

"Not that I recall." "Not that I remember." Over and over. He's answering that way in case new evidence surfaces later he can just say that he never denied it --
he just didn't remember it.

And he's invoking Trump's executive privilege, so that Trump can selective tweet about certain aspects of Session's testimony (thereby waiving the privilege, if it ever existed) and then Sessions can reappear to testify and coroberate Trump's tweets. Pretty slick, huh.

Sessions testimony reminds me of the famous Edwin Edwards' answer when he gave conflicting answers in 2 depositions, suddenly remebering new and helpful information in the second depo.

When Edwards was asked if he had forgot to mention that information in the first depo, Edwards replied: "No. I just never tried to remember it before."

Stay tuned. Trump knows the "deep state" aka the FBI and CIA have the goods on him. He's basically trying to fire his way out of it. Let's see how it plays out.

No he's being careful that they don't try and say "Well, you met with Kislyak for 20 seconds on March 3rd and Vladimir Putin happened to stay at a hotel you stayed at 10 years ago."

He doesn't want that sort of petty bullshite to come back on him because he knows the Dems are trying to set perjury traps.

I can answer this: no. But Comey has come across as very shady & incompetent. Sadly.

There are informed Republicans. Why do you think nothing is happening legislatively when the Republicans have the White House. The House and The Senate? You think it's due to the "Dems"?

That's crap. They are asking him specific questions about specific meetings and what was said -- and he still gives Edwin Edwards answers.

Eta: Here is a Rolling Stone article that quotes 25 times when Sessions couldn't remember details in response to specific questions.( And don't give me shjt about Rolling Stone. Thay are just quoting the transcript).

Hillary Clinton did the same bullshite when she testified multiple times and that's one big reason out of several as to why she's not sitting in Prison right now.

Sorry you suck at testifying and avoiding obvious perjury traps.

He wasn't avoiding obvious perjury traps. He was failing to answer specific questions. Can you tell the difference?

Here's the thing. There was no fricking horse. You seem like a pretty intelligent guy, but from some of your posts I think you are using poor sources for your information. Try staying away from CNN, DU, and daily kos for a couple of weeks.
