#1 Trump Jr. was purportedly eager to receive information that could damage Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

It's called opposition research. Everyone running for office uses opposition research on their opponent if they can.

BTW, the Pubs obtained a fake dossier that attempted to damage Trump in the primaries. According to Forbes, the dossier was put together by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele who is now the head of a private for-hire intelligence company, Orbis. The dossier was then used by Democratic adversaries of then-candidate Trump against him in the main election. The fake dossier PDF file alleges that high Kremlin officials colluded with Trump, offered him multi-billion dollar bribes, and accumulated compromising evidence of Trump’s sexual escapades in Russia. The U.S. intelligence community has said the dossier is a fake report.

So when no dirt can be found on a candidate, the dirt is then made up? Can this BS special counsel investigation not be dumped since it was based on a lie? Comey leaked information to his law-school buddy with the hope of being able to set up a Special Counsel headed by his buddy Mueller. Can this faux claim against Donald Jr. not be dropped as the original claim was false. Moreover, the Special Counsel is suspect since it is loaded with Hillary's cronies and supporters? There is are huge conflicts of interest.

Can these deep state rascals not be driven out?

#2 Unfortunatly, those deep state rascals can't be driven out. They are much like Richard Gere in "Officer and a Gentleman" shouting "...I've got no place else to go!!!"
