In this case it's immaterial which comes first as the Progressives never let the facts influence the result of an investigation.

What's happening here is that the outcome of this so called investigation has been predetermined and the engineering of fictitious evidence is now well under way accompanied with the character assassination of Trump by the standard torrent of unsubstantiated accusations.

Innuendos, such as, 'we've identified a ''person of interest'' we would like to interview are being issued with the aim of creating the illusion that there is some substance to the witch hunt.

If proper information existed the investors would invite this mysterious person to answer their questions and not warn them of his/her impending interrogation.

''To be forewarned is to be forearmed''.

Investigation without facts is were the Progressives are today !!!!!!!!!!!!

Update;- My sources inform me speculation is growing that the ''significant person of interest'' is Jared Kushner, Trumps son-in-law and aide.

I'm also informed that subpoenas are about to be issued to those being probed, including Kushner, with the intention of interviews being carried out under oath.

The whole vindictive witch hunt is shaping up to be an episode of epic proportions.

This ''affair of the long knives'', all of which are destined to be sunk right between Trump's shoulder blades, is evidence that it doesn't pay to challenge the sinister forces of the nation's security forces.

All the while America's overseas image is taking a nose dive much to the annoyance to it's allies but to the delight of it's enemies.

Facts exist, even before we find them, but it only becomes a "fact" after we find them, through investigation.

It's interesting that you choose a riddle with no obvious correct answer to introduce a question which also has no obvious correct answer.

You can't have a chicken without an egg first, but you can't have an egg without a chicken first.

Likewise, you can't confirm a fact without an investigation, but you can't trigger an investigation unless there is pretty good evidence you need to prove or disprove something first.

So basically, the debate you launched thinking it would promote your political side really only confirms it's complicated and now we need to sort it out. You shot yourself in the foot.

One must have an investigation to have true facts. Until then it is merely speculation.
