If you read my comment redbeer, I don't think I could have been clearer, but I'll repeat it in bigger letters if you're having eye problems seeing smaller print. THERE IS NO CODIFIED CRIME AS "COLLUSION".
As far back as 2014, Trump was a Russian asset being groomed by Moscow to take the 2016 election. Trump backed Russia at every turn back then and never stopped backing Russia. In 2015, a Russian air-to-air missile took down Malaysian airline flight 17 killing 298 civilians. Trump appears to cast doubt on the intelligence community’s assessment that Russian-backed separatists were behind the downing of civilian airliner, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.
"That's a horrible thing that happened,” Trump said, "It's disgusting and disgraceful, but Putin and Russia say they didn't do it, the other side said they did, no one really knows who did it, probably Putin knows who did it. Possibly it was Russia but they are totally denying it. … But they're saying it wasn't them. The other side says it is them. And we're going to go through that arguing for probably for 50 years and nobody is ever going to know. Probably was Russia.” That sounds very familiar doesn't it? That's because it's nearly word-for-word identical to the way he defended Putin over allegations of Russian interference in our election when he was in Helsinki. It was a stunning rebuke to our U.S. Intelligence who confirmed it was Russia. "President Putin says it's not Russia. I don't see any reason why it would be."
Did Don Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manfort eagerly accept ("I love it") an offer from the Russians to get 'dirt' on Hillary Clinton? That's accepting, that's coordinating, that's cooperating.
Did Trump publicly ask the Russians to release 30,000 Hillary Clinton emails that were released within hours of his request?
Didn't Trump state very clearly to George Stephanopoulos, on camera, that he would certainly accept the help of any foreign government for "opposition research" of a political opponent? That's cooperation, that's coordination, that's opening the door for interference from foreign governments. Trump said there would be nothing wrong with accepting incriminating information about an election opponent from Russia or other foreign governments and that he saw no reason to call the F.B.I. if it were to happen again. “It’s not an interference,” “They have information — I think I’d take it.” He would call the F.B.I. only “if I thought there was something wrong.”
Trump is a Russian operative and you people could give a ****.
I agree with everything you said except for trump Russian timeline.
He has had Russian ties since 1979 when Putin was in the KGB and I believe he has been groomed as far back as then.
I also would not be even a little surprised to learn that trump was getting all his 80s 90s cocaine from the Russian mob and that is how his connection was groomed...
