Not a burglary. The hacking of the election by a foreign power with Trump allies colluding. And Comey's interference in the election without even a subpoena let alone probable cause. If anyone can show any link at all to anyone in the Trump campaign, it is Watergate for Trump. I suggest starting with a bunch of Freedom of Information Act requests. If the FBI tries not to produce the evidence, start a pr campaign--what are they hiding? Trump's "outlaw" fans hate a government conspiracy as much as they hate the FBI. If the feds try to abuse their power, call them Bullies and Bureaucrats. Trump can not afford to overtly abuse the power of his office to protect himself, otherwise he loses the trust of the self styled outlaws who think he is a self made man and outside the system. If he starts acting like Tricky Dick, they will dump him--and then he has no base.
