Depending on the nature of the information, it would most likely increase my support, but it's a fantasy.
Firstly even if the allegations turn out to be true; they are not unprecedented and are far milder than what say Ted Kennedy was caught doing with the Soviets. Treatment of Trump seems to be exceptional due to his feud with the 'deep state' (intelligence agencies, old Washington families).
Secondly, Russia is on a better side of history than the US at this point in time.
If this witch hunt turned out to be real, then no.Hypothetical Question:
If the investigation leads to Flynn, Kushner, and others being convicted and they supply information great enough for Mueller to bring charges against Trump will you still support him?
"What about __________?"
"You think we are so innocent? We have a lot of killers."
"Rabble rabble deep state".
Bro, you should have added a "But fusion GPS" or "but Obama" in there then you would have checked all the boxes.

How can you support the america first candidate if he uses a foreign hostile power to attack democracy?

Yes, but I fear what will happen if Pence becomes president.Hypothetical Question:

That stuff wouldn't have fit into the rest of my post at all.
How much more blunt could I be?
1. The investigation itself is fishy if not slightly incriminating of US intel because even the wildest allegations merely portray Trump as committing fouls that have gone unpunished in DC as a tradition.
2. I passionately advocated shifting our geopolitical bloc eastward away from the tyrannical cesspool the EU has become long before Trump was even running for office, so I feel no 'anger' if a faction within the US is trying to speed this up.
Do you? Probably not. For you it's probably more of a "hacked the election"/whodunnit novel than a matter of long-term vision.
I could fit Fusion GPS and Obama into that somehow but it I'd have to be creative.
