To me, that is crap...perhaps I am old fashioned but my experience with many politicians is that if any of them ever did anything with a foreign government to attempt to sway our elections makes them treasonous and despicable. Certainly it qualifies as beyond un patriotic.
I really am tired of you folks making it just fine to demean and mock such an investigation. It actually makes me ill

You doubt what I say? I spent twenty years locking people up for violation of federal laws under Title 18.
Now pay attention. All I did was refute the New York Times article that implied that "collusion" was a criminal act.
That's
all I did.
I absolutely did not give
any indication that I was "fine with a US politician...use any word..colluding, conspiring, whatever...WITH A FOREIGN GOVT is just peachy keen and fine." (Your words.)
You are still free to peruse Title 18 to look for the crime of "colluding."
Just, please, don't attribute positions to me that I have not taken.
Now, one last thing. Since you condemn any action by a foreign government attempting to affect our elections, how do you feel about Obama funneling
American tax dollars to an attempt to oust Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu in their elections? Outrage would be a good response.
