re: Is collusion a fedral crime?

This is where it get murky. It gets really murky if a foreign organization funnels money into a PAC, and then that PAC uses it to run campaign ads on behalf of a candidate (which I believe is technically legal).

That is legal. A PAC is NOT supposed to coordinate or be part of any campaign and thus really there isn't much scrutiny over who donates to them insofar as foreigners go, maybe there should be (okay for sure there should be ) but every motherfricker in DC has PACs funded by foreigners (mostly China) and that isn't illegal.

They simply can't give the money directly to campaigns. Nor can PACs funnel money directly to the campaigns. They have to be entirely separate, and that's whether foreigners are involved or not.
