    thanks for your insite into sensitivity, for which i have none...

    as for the campaign, if someone did collude that inofitself is not proof to condemn trump...

    can't lock up the ceo just because the purchasing agent used inside info to make trades on wall street ;)

    Never said it was proof to condemn Trump, but I must admit I'm curious about that blocked number and the Russians buying up Trump properties.
    I'll be happy as can be if all the crooks get locked up. If that includes Trump, so much the better.

    unfortunately, that doesnt matter... all that matters is the house votes to impeach for any reason (could be for having bad hairdo) and then the senate votes as to whether they agree that the bad hairdo is worthy of impeachment, if enough say yes, the prez is impeached...

    the opposite can also happen, there can be all sorts of proof and yet they can decide not to impeach, because it isnt mandatory to do so...

    it has nothing to do with laws nor is it subjected to the rules of our legal system, its just all the politicians using their own judgement... the impeachment process itself is a joke

    edit: not much different than confirnation hearings...

    the collusion has to be with something that's illegal... colluding with your parents to purchase a car wouldnt be a crime...

    By way of usage it also says;

    "the armed forces were working in collusion with drug traffickers" and "secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others."

    This proves that the CIA is guilty but Trump isn't.

    Correct.
    People tend to ignore the most relevant parts of a definition. "Screwing", for example, is perfectly legal unless it is performed with someone else's wife.

    So you are basing your theory upon another theory as though the first theory is fact lending weight to the second theory.

    * "Information sharing"?
    Hey man, I'm not American either but I was bombarded with tons of information from the TV.

    * "Russia interfering in the US Election"?
    You mean Russian media touted Trump as being a better man than Hillary? Here in Sweden we had more touting for Hillary's benefit merely because Sweden's feminist Government wants all heads of state to be women. When can we expect you to be leveling charges against Sweden for "interfering in the US Election"?

    Which brings to mind the biggest problem with the whole "the Russians helped Trump steal the election", why would the Russians want Trump when Clinton is a demonstrated "player", proven, time and again , that they're willing to "make a deal". That Trump ISN'T a totally corrupt toady of the Global Elite is the very reason he's hated by the LEft.
    The Russians would have much preffered to have Hillary in office, had they had there choice.

    She did not go to jail for insider trading. It was the same old lying to the police.

    Right, that's why he already went to trial with him and convicted him, so he would have leverage.

    It's also why he spent all his time on ostrich coats instead of going after the actual thing he was hired to investigate.

    Yeah, even when he couldn't find the guilty party in the anthrax case, he still got his man.

    My use of 'collusion' is in response to Trump's favorite strawman. The crime is looking to be conspiracy.

    Consider yourself lucky. Here, in Sweden, it is immoral for a man to screw a woman "on the side" but it is a matter of the feminist woman's obligation to screw as many men as possible but a matter of disgust for her husband to be jealous.

    She wasn't convicted of insider trading. She was convicted of obstructing Justice and lying to the investigators.

    And? Is that it? He briefed them on poll numbers and discussed the situation between Russia and Ukraine? And this didn't involve Trump in any way whatsoever? I'll toss you some straws, be sure to grab them.
    I think the closest thing Trump ever had to contacts with a Russian agent were his meetings with Hilary, who authorised the Russian takeover of America's uranium supplies whilst her foundation was receiving millions in 'contributions'.
