The Right says it’s way too early to celebrate Trump's downfall

Is  the Left dancing on Trump’s political grave yet? They may want  to watch their step.  A roundup of editorials Monday takes a look at the Flynn indictment.

Opinions from the Right:

1.  The Irrational, Unshakable Faith of the Collusion Conspiracists

From Townhall: When will the Left realize there is no evidence of collusion?

2. The Media’s Flynn-sanity

From The Wall Street Journal: Remember what Flynn was indicted for – talking to the Russians after the election, not before.

3. The left (and much of Washington) are preparing to dance on the grave of Trump’s presidency

From Fox News: Four Trump associates have been indicted, but none of those indictments relate to the reason the special counsel was appointed.
