Here, I'll explain:

Doing business with Russia ... is legal!

Doing business with Russia while offering to change public policy as part of the deal ... that's illegal.

Doing business with Russia while their military intelligence attack your election opponent ... that's one step below treason, i.e., a crime against the United States.

Context is everything.

So why would a businessman who was guaranteed, from all quarters, not to be elected president, not follow-up on lucrative business deals until the last minute.


Why heck obama had us believe Russia was not our enemy.


HRC even gave them a purloined red plastic button and touched hands with Russian FM, lavrov.


Hillary signed off on selling uranium to Russia and Obama signed a permit in secret to allow the uranium to be removed form the country.


Obama reneged on missiles promised to Poland to avoid annoying Putin.


Obama backed off his red line to please putin.


Obama sent blankets and food to the forces putin was attacking with advanced weaponry all in an effort to avoid displeasing putin.


Obama knew Russia was hacking government databases and said nothing until trump won.


Clinton foundation was a receptacle for Russian 'donations'.


Podesta brothers reap huge profits form deals with Russia via Hillary Clinton


If you listened to the news, you'd have believed putin and Obama were partners and Russia was not a threat.
And dont forget that Obama gave the UK's nuclear deterrent to Putin,

So what you say? Step back and look at the bigger picture:

In 2016 Trump was simultaneously

-- actively negotiating a hotel deal with the Russian gov't to benefit himself personally

-- actively negotiating lifting the sanctions for the Russian gov't

-- actively negotiating with a hostile government that was engaged in cyberwar against the United States after Trump was formally notified by the FBI that it was going on

Put it all together and the conclusion is inescapable: Trump is guilty of a criminal conspiracy and committed a crime against the United States.
No crime. Talking to Russians is legal.

True, But not the most ethical thing to do when you're running for president.

Putin IS the leader of the Russian trolls, many which masquerade as Trump supporters.
