Even if we assume for the sake of argument that the Russians don’t have compromising material used for blackmail (something for which we have circumstantial but not direct public evidence), Trump has spent 20 years making his living from Russian money laundering. Why do you think he would “completely not care”?
Who said the “case was over”? It’s clearly an ongoing investigation, which will hopefully be allowed to proceed to its conclusion despite the president’s ham-handed efforts to obstruct it.
Why do you think Trump’s campaign was so filled with people traveling back and forth to Russia, having secret meetings with Russian intelligence assets, trying to set up secure communications channels directly to the Russian government, and so on? Why do you think they have spent so much effort on publicly lying about those meetings and communications, and so much effort on shutting down the investigation about it?
