    Getting dirt from Russians on another candidate isn't against the law. AND silly argument when the Trump campaign got nothing from the Russians while the DNC and the Clinton Campaign got dirt from the Russians on Donald Trump in the form of the Steele Dossier.

    There is no such crime called "interference" and collecting dirt on another candidate from a foreign source is perfectly legal. Remember the Steele Dossier. Dirt bought and paid for by the DNC and Hillary campaign, from the Russians.

    The imputed collusion was to to defeat Hillary in the election, delivering dirt on her would not be enough, what would be required was not just the obtaining of such dirt, but also a plan for it's dissemination.

    Mueller has never interviewed the Russian lawyer. This clearly shows that the Mueller Investigation is a complete farce.

    A criminal conspiracy in which multiple parties commit crimes to achieve some end goal (which might also be a crime) is prosecutable. Working with multiple parties to achieve an end using legal means is not.

    I keep reading about all these NYC taxi medallions Cohen invested in, I know what they are and realize how they could be an attractive investment, but I need some critical-lefty or never-Trumper to explain how such an investment could possibly relate to collusion with Russia to defeat Hillary in the election.

    You got it.
    Several other similar episodes with Trump aids and the Russians. Flynn for example. A Mickey Mouse crime, but a crime none the less,

    I don't think anything in the Cohen investigation has anything to do with Russia. That's why Rosenstein took it and not Mueller. I have this picture of Mueller saying "Rod I don't want anything to do with Trump's porn star."
    Now if you ask me if damaging stuff will come out of it relating to Russia. I would say, only if Cohen flips.

    That's absurd. You still don't understand that collusion is not a crime - and BTW there was no collusion. Keep on making my point.

    The thought process of those afflicted with TDS is breathtaking. They have delusional pictures of many things floating around in there.

    I don't think that Logan Act would actually apply.

    When he got arrested over it, means it's a crime and I proved that.
    If he is guilty of that crime or not is an entire irrelevant matter to this discussion.

    I also proved that collusion is a crime. So there. lol

    You have sourced nothing that proves collusion is a crime.

    Just like properties, they can be used in money laundering schemes.
