Special counsels are appointed to investigate crimes, not to investigate political activities that are not a crime. So, arguably, the Deputy Attorney General (an Obama appointee) who appointed Mueller was sending a message that collusion was a crime. (Attorney General Sessions had recused himself from the investigation.)

The letter of appointment specifically targets "any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals
associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump." I'll say it again, as did Liberal Lawyer Dershowitz, that is not a crime.

I don't so much consider the Deputy Attorney General a "reasonable person" as I do a political activist.

Thanks...your last post and others on this made it seem as if this was a rampant charge being made and apparently it is not.

Like I said, I do not think Trump personally colluded (uncovering the motivation for it might give him trouble personally), and think a discussion of whether anyone who did collude committing a crime is sort of missing the point. They are traitors first...whether you make a legal case or not.

Thanks for the link....just had never seen it alleged.
