Colluded with the Russkies for the release of hacked info (we'll ignore that neither Podesta nor the DNC was hacked)

Is this illegal?

Certainly, not good political optics at all, but is it illegal if they had nothing to do with the "hacking"?

Define "colluded".

As in, set it in motion with Russia or, aware of acquired info and talked to them about releasing it?

Well, if it is not illegal, it is neither a high crime, nor misdemeanor (each of which is a crime). So, I don't know if it would be a basis for impeachment.

If trumps campaign colluded with the russians, there is a high likelihood Russia has dirt on trumps people too.

Well if colluding with a foreign adversary to destroy our democracy isn't a crime I don't know what is.

All well and good.

I am not being told how this would be a crime.

It would depend on "colluded." At the very least it could lead to obstruction of justice charges if someone lied to the FBI during its investigation.

Okay...so we're getting closer. The actual activity is not illegal, but obstructing an investigation of the activity might be.

Oh. In that case, I sincerely don't have any fricking idea what the big deal is.

Am I supposed to just recoil in horror when people say RUSSIANS!!!

If anything happened there's a good chance this other thing also happened. I know this because anything is possible when things that can happen are happening.

Releasing Podestra's emails is noT a crime nor is it destroying democracy. It actually saved democracy.
Asking the people with the material to release it sooner or later, is not a crime.
But what's puzzling, is that Hillary can have all the meetings she wants, make deals, take donations, etc etc with proof of all, yet trumps guys speaking about release dates is impeachable?

You people are morons on your best days.

It is a simple question.

Illegal, or not?
