Can't argue with anything you said. But Trump's own appointee Rosenstein appointed the special council so here we are. Other than that, it's just not hard for me to believe members of Trump's campaign worked with Russian oligarchs and officials to gain an advantage in the election. But as you said I don't think that is a crime and don't think Trump should be impeached. Now, a national security threat? Yes. But we will be in Trump's 3rd year as POTUS when the investigation comes to a head. Democrats may win seats in the house to vote for impeachment, but no way will they have 2/3 of the Senate, so he'll be acquitted. He won't be elected for a second term and we'll move on from this. Just my prediction.

I’m not going back through this thread, but I don’t see why the Steele Dossier is even relevant at this point. All the Steele Dossier represents is raw human intelligence, i.e., gossip (though well-sourced gossip). None of it is admissible in court.
Mueller’s surely not relying on it by this point. It has led to admissible evidence. This is how criminal cases are built.
A Neighor A might be pissed off at Neighbor B because B’s dog poops in A’s yard. A suspects B is a drug dealer because of suspicious activity around the house, but doesn’t really care about that, A’s just mad about the dog poop and wants to get revenge on B, so reports it to the police.
The police can’t arrest B based on A’s phone call, but if they find A credible, they check it out themselves. They gather the evidence, admissible evidence, and build a case. When they have a case based on admissible evidence, they make arrests.
At this point, A’s motivation for reporting B is irrelevant, as is A’s phone call, other than that was what prompted their looking into B in the first place.

And why does A suspect B in the first place? We're right back to the Steel dossier. Stop being obtuse.
I said before that Mueller is going to charge some people, but absolutely none of the charges will have to do with the campaign or "collusion" nor will any of it actually involve Trump. Answer me this: is that still true at this point or not?

According to all the news last week it appears Mueller is wrapping it up. He is typing up the report of the investigation for Rosenstein as we speak. The investigation is all but over.

You’re not just reading between the lines, you’ve constructed a whole new false narrative. There was no reference to Mueller “wrapping up the investigation” or that the investigation is “all but over.” The fact that Mueller is preparing a report for Rosenstein only indicates that the investigation is still active, but there is no indication of when it will reach conclusion.
