1) the russian government was hacking the DNC and leaking info to hurt hillary during the campaign,

2) trump's campaign maintained contact with russians while the russians were interfering in an american election, which is a pretty big deal and would call for any politican to end contact with the interfering government,

3) upon winning the election, trump's NSA advisor discussed (most likely easing) the new sanctions related to the interference and lied about discussing the sanctions, and

4) trump and his surrogates continuously denied during the election and afterwards that there was any contact between the trump campaign and russians at any point. leaks are claiming that is a lie.

historically, this will look super shitty even if there is nothing rising to an impeachable offense

This is the breakout that matters. But all of these are allegations, which the previous administration acted upon fruitlessly as evidenced by the lack of recourse to anyone in the Trump camp. All we've had are anonymous leakers, grandstanding, politics of emotion and blatant lies from a media PROVEN (via Hillary's emails) to be in bed with the opposition to Trump whitehouse.

I can't hang my hat on that. I'm surprised so many can.

Also, Kingbob, after reading the Logan Act would you say this is a violation? I don't think it is. Interested in your take, genuinely.
