"Collusion" sets up a false choice

Trump advanced the oversimplified notion that if there was no collusion, then he's not guilty.

There is both legal and illegal collusion, but it makes no difference because the impeachable offense is that his team repeatedly met with Russian operatives, the team expecting to benefit from their stolen information. Call it collusion, call it legal, call it illegal. The bottom line is that it is impeachable because this was the nominee for president of the United States AND HE MADE NO ATTEMPT TO WARN THE FBI.

    Was any "stolen" information exchanged? What was this "stolen" information?

    "the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts."

    Mueller

    That sentence is all you need to impeach. It would have been forgiven if Trump disclosed his contacts to the FBI BUT HE DIDN'T INSTEAD FIRING THE FBI DIRECTOR BECAUSE OF THE RUSSIAN THING. His very words

    Because the Russian's perceived they'd be better off if Trump won that's all you need to impeach? I'm pretty sure the Israelis thought that they'd be better if Trump won, is that another grounds for impeachment?

    What stolen information was exchanged and did the campaign know that Russian had stole the information?

    Why didn't Mueller charge anyone with this crime?

    Wouldn't the FBI already know about it, since they were spying on his campaign?

    So desperate and so weak. Democrats have zero interest in the illegal spying on a Presidential campaign and the real collusion by the democrat candidate and and the Obama team but boy you have time to come up with a fourth tier scandal after the first three tiers failed.

    Russians wanted Hillary. Trump is much harder on them than "reset" girl. HTH

    Clinton was really impeached for getting a blowjob in the White House. Perjury was a mere pretext. The president should have the utmost integrity.
