It is true that there is no federal statute against “collusion.” But a specific law is not necessary for citizens and their representatives in Congress to make a judgment: Is it acceptable for a presidential candidate and officials of his campaign to encourage an adversarial foreign power’s efforts to meddle in the U.S. election process — and then seek to reward that foreign power by easing sanctions? Yes or no?

After the election, the Trump transition team actively undermined sanctions that Obama had imposed on Russia for its election interference. And we know that members of the Trump campaign’s inner circle consistently failed to disclose their meetings with Russian officials and emissaries. There is a pattern of behavior here. It may or may not be illegal, but it is certainly shocking and unacceptable.

Ask yourself a common-sense question: If nothing wrong happened with Russia during the campaign, why is Trump so desperate to cover it up?

No, we don't KNOW any of what you say we KNOW. This is all speculation clouded by partisan politics.

We only know what the media tells us and they only know what politicians say.

What we actually know is that there is currently an investigation into Russian meddling in our political process.

We are also finding out that the person in charge of that investigation may have a political bias.

So much of this is simply a show by the opposing parties. They do not want us to know anything. They only want to fool us into voting for them. In some cases, they do that by making accusations against the opposing side. They know they are not true but this is the way that they stay in power.

It's all a big game to them and their only concern is getting re-elected and getting their party members elected. Please don't fall for all the nonsense.
