So After All This Talk About Collusion - Today They Are Saying....

[global1]

it's hard to prove and harder to prosecute?

For how many months were we talking collusion? How many investigations are going on to find out evidence of collusion?

And just today - they are saying it's hard to prove and harder to prosecute?

Come on - are they setting up a - Get Out Of Jail - card for Trump and his comrades?

1. Who are they?

[global1]

3. Listen To The Cable News Shows....

the two talking points that are coming out today are:

1. collusion is hard to prove and harder to prosecute

and

2. this whole thing with Don Jr. is a 'nothing burger'

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. Has anyone said "nothingburger" besides Priebus?

[global1]

6. Yep - Don't Know Who It Was - But A Repug Or Repug Talking Head Just Interviewed On MSNBC.....

said it.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. OK, well at least it's limited to the repubs.

2. You have to look at the criminal statute and the elements of the crime....

Collusion as it is being thrown around is short hand for whatever nasty little pies Trump and his lackeys have had their hands in.

Money laundering?
Treason?
Obstruction of Justice?
violations of the Hatch Act?
Lying during a fed investigation
Perjury (foreign contacts/security clearance)
High crimes and misdemeanors (impeachable offenses)
all of the above

Just a few of the things I have heard being bandied about.

We can all swear Donnie is guilty because the truth is he did this or that, but the only people who matter when it comes down to determining the truth are the investigators and the Congress and the jurors if any of this shakes out to fed or state court.

Going to have to be patient, see what shakes out.

9. Adam Schiff on Rachel said legal term is conspiracy (not collusion)

and that there may be potentially illegal activities involved with Trump campaign conspiring with Russians
