    Incoherent babble.

    How is probing whether the reason for Trump's collusion in the past was due to Trump's money ties to Russians unreasonable? And Mueller is a dirty cop? Guy is a decorated war hero while your leader hid behind excuses when it came to serving his country. He ran scams on gullible Americans with frauds like Trump University while Mueller was hunting down Al Qaeda. Save me your victimhood routine.

    At this time, I believe Mueller should be fired. Re; expansion of probe without an underlying crime (fishing expedition). And also the hiring of numerous Left wing attorneys to "investigate Trump". I look for the firing sooner rather than later. Trump is the person to do it.

    The crime is collusion with a foreign power. It's apparent that Russia made overtures to the trump campaign and the trump family accepted them.

  6. Collusion with a foreign power is not a crime. You have to establish more than that and specify what crime you are alleging.

    Diplomats, candidates, military officials etc get together with foreign officials all the time to talk about working together - ie. colluding- to accomplish various purposes. Some are legal. Some are not. But the lefty media has successfully created this narrative that being in the room and talking with or meeting with russians is in and of itself unlawful. It is not. You might be able get there by doing more work but just repeating the "collusion mantra" over and over is not enough. I mean it is enough for CNN and Rachel Maddow but they are not the ones who would have to prosecute the case.

  7. But that's not a crime. Were they guilty of "colluding" with the israelis? Did Hillary "collude" with Ukraine? Or Mexico?

    You have to show some violation of American law in furtherance of a conspiracy. Accepting volunteered evidence that your opponent violated the laws of another country is not collusion in any case.

    Another avalanche of bullshit.

    When someone is being investigated for a conspiracy and quid pro quo - the first thing one looks at is their financial history especially things they insist on hiding (tax returns), I am sure Mueller - a trained lawyer and a patriot along with his team of top prosecutors knows the constitution better than your reactionary grasp on it.

    Using your office for personal gain is. If it is shown that Russian officials paid trump via his hotel so that he would lift sanctions is illegal if not treason.

    Receiving a campaign donation (via good or service) from a foreign power is also illegal and trump jr admitted that he tried to do that.

    no one is calling trump guilty yet. But there is enough circumstantial evidence to investigate the matter.
