I never took the Hillary e-mails all that seriously, but of late is is fashionable for extreme partisans to blow stuff all out of proportion. One just has to insert a little bit of innuendo into every new cycle and it might outrun the Energizer Bunny. There are reasonable reasons for the conversation with the Russians, but one can also imagine treason if one feels like doing so. It becomes guilty until proved innocent.
Joe McCarthy's 1950s era Red Menace act was more sinister, but in terms of accusations being thrown around with much hyperbole, things are getting out of hand. Still, after the Hillary e-mails, the progressives likely think the rules have been changed, and turnabout becomes fair play.
Fake news... Big lies... You might achieve tactical victories on a day by day news cycle by news cycle basis. I have a feeling that Truth is taking long term damage. This sort of thing isn't likely the sort of habit we want our media and politicians to get into.

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
