Interesting, "If there is nothing there then what are the Republicans afraid of?"  That is the old "when did you quit beating your wife" rouse.  So far, there have been Democrat probes, FBI and CIA investigations, and an extreme investigative Press effort, and not one bit of evidence that Trump, or his campaign members, have had any extraordinary contact with any Russians has been brought to light and yet the Democrats want to hang their hats on expenditures for a probe that has already been deemed to potentially be of no consequence.
