If tRump went to prison for something other than Russia, would it satisfy?

If no one else involved had to answer for collusion, but we were absolutely sure that our intelligence agencies were still working on the problem in the background, would it be enough?

I'm not so sure that there will ever be full disclosure.

I keep coming back to this.

This is from memory, but the quote was something like, "when a prosecutor sees an infraction, his duty is to secure a conviction. The particular legal instrument used to secure that is not in itself important."
