Even all the smart folks on this forum have fallen for this hoax.

"All of the smart folks"?
My attitude has always been that we need to investigate. We have discovered that the Russians are trying to destabilize our government and hack our elections. It is very important that we are aware of this and respond so that our elections are credible.
Second, claiming that Trump didn't collude with the Russians is, in my opinion, trivial. The real issue for me: "is he compromised"? Is he beholden to Putin? Does Putin have dirt on him he doesn't want released? Is there criminal behavior in his financial dealings? Is his financial empire propped up by Putin?
To say that these concerns are based on myths is absurd. Trump could have dispelled them easily enough by releasing his tax returns as other candidates have done traditionally. He could have dispelled this by putting his assets into a blind trust, again a recognized ethically correct attitude. His reticence to say anything negative about Putin does not put one at ease. Lying about meetings with Russians does not put on at ease. I support Mueller and his investigation.
