It didn't seem to be about the economy in 2018. I'd argue it wasn't in 2016 either, but admit there's room to differ.

I’m not crediting any right wing conspiracy. I’m telling you how the GOP is creating one to muddy the issues and create the impression both sides were up to illegal or unethical shit.
People don’t care about Russia. The Democrats would do well to drop it. But if they don’t, the GOP is going to leak bad facts about the 2016 investigation in retaliation to muddy things.
The Democrats have a difficult path here because the public does not want impeachment and the GOP has enough info about the 2016 investigation to create a narrative that the investigation was politically motivated. Say “spying” enough and it sticks. Say “counterintelligence” over and over and people go to sleep.
