There's no way that it is a coincidence that right after the Trump Jr. / Russian lawyer meeting Trump started talking about "Hillary's missing emails" and such. He knew what was coming. That timing is way too good to be coincidental, I think.
Polls show that a lot of Trump's base refuse to admit that anyone on Trump's team did anything wrong. Russian collusion? That's just fine, if it helped them win! (What, that's illegal? Bah, liberal media lies...)
This incredibly dangerous attitude is an example of how our democracy is struggling, I believe. I wonder how many would change their tune if we get to the point where there are actual prosecutions?

However, people might be so desperate to go "back to normal" that they overlook typical corruption as "at least not completely stupid". That's the other possibility, that we lower the bar to the point we tolerate evil so long as it isn't stupid evil.
