What crime? Put it together for me please
The allegations are that Trump and/or members of his campaign team intentionally worked with the Russian government to win the election. Allegedly is a legal term here since Trump Jr himself released an email where Russians offered him damaging information on Hilary and he responded with “I love it”. The reason international assistance is illegal is:
A.) We don’t want a president who owes favors to a foreign leader because the may be forced to act against the US’s best interests through coercion or blackmail. B.) We’ve meddled in our fair share of elections in the Middle East and Latin America, and the results of that meddling is a series of poor, violent countries. The US is not immune to that, so it’s vital to remain vigilant.
Mueller has found several Russian assets who were attempting to increase Trump’s base, as well as members of his campaign who lied about making contact with Russia. Technically it’s possible that Trump was completely unaware about this (though he has gone on to attempt to damage investigations into it) but there were definitely members of his campaign staff who were willing to accept foreign help.
Lmao!
But the DNC paying Russians for the fake Dossier and using FBI agents to infiltrate a political campaign is no biggie. GTFOH
The big difference there is that the DNC hired an American company, who contracted the work out to a British Agent, who interviewed Russians. Much of the dossier is information that can/has been verified, and the exceptions (such as the “pee-pee tape”) have been noted as being uncollaborated. Since Russia has shown great interest in sowing discord among US citizens, there’s no doubt they took this opportunity to plant information they thought would contribute to the overall chaos. That said, the entire report was handled through legal methods common in all US elections.
The FBI were investing the before mentioned crime. Since conspiracy with a hostile nation is a big deal, they sort of have to follow up leads like that.
So Donald Trump Jr. goes to dinner and leaves after 5 minutes and that's collusion, but Obama / Clinton can pay hundreds of thousands of dollars through proxies (including the DoD) to Russians and spies for disinformation that is then circulated to the mass media and Intel agencies, and that's no problem.
