by a statement to the effect that "no laws were broken."

BUT LAWS WERE BROKEN! You're not allowed to be helped by a foreign power in a US election. Hostile foreign powers are not allowed to give you things of value in waging your campaign. That's a law!

You're not allowed to hack other people. That's a law! People go to jail for that!

Elected officials are not allowed to put the interests of their own pocketbooks or the interests of foreign powers above the interests of Americans. That's TWO laws.

Why are people not just shoving that back in their faces whenever they say, "Oh, but no laws have been broken!"
