Ken Starr was investigating Whitewater and obstruction of justice/perjury in the Paula Jones lawsuit. Very clear allegations of violations of the law. Mueller is investigating "collusion" which isn't in of itself against the law. Mueller may eventually find an impeachable offense somewhere but the two investigations actually aren't at all alike when it comes to the actual allegations of wrongdoing that lead to each investigstion

WikiLeaks loses a lot of credibility here.

A not yet live Dem attack site was compromised. Getting onto it needed a password. Anyone who used the password without having permission to go on the site committed a crime. Having a password doesn't entitle you to log into other people's shite.
ETA: some of the messages are referencing the site, Jnr may have done what I outlined above.

This very basic cornerstone of law is completely lost on NT and all the other stop at nothing to overthrow this President anti-Trumpers out there. A year in and none of them can name a specific crime being alleged. Meanwhile there is actual proof of specific crimes involving Russian collusion and other crimes that Clinton and the DNC are alleged to have committed and we're suppose to just let that go simply because she lost the election. The hypocrisy and double standard is mind boggling.
I get that you and GT23 and a lot of others wish there was nothing to see and want this to go away. I’m sorry. That’s not an argument.
And FWIW, this probe has produced three criminal indictments totaling a few dozen charges. Specific crimes have been more than alleged.

From what period of time? At least in the case of Manafort and Gates?

I have no problem with the SC investigating until they're blue in the face. I'm talking about specific allegations against the President HIMSELF. A year in and 3 people who worked for the campaign are arrested for things almost completely related to the 2016 election. It just seems like a never ending fishing expedition to find some kind of gotcha "crime" committed by Trump to overturn the last election. Meanwhile the Clinton campaign is allowed to cheat their asses off with at least as damning proof of Russian collusion and it's totally ok because she lost the election. You have a special prosecutor who was the FBI director when the Uranium One somehow got approved despite the criminal activity found in the deal apparently refusing to look into that potentially highly illegal deal while going after the person who best her in the election. If that's not a conflict of interest I don't know what is.

The issue is that WikiLeaks has been basically verified to be a Russian-supported outlet. The fact that they communicated with DJT Jr. lends credibility to the left's Russian collusion argument.

Collusion is not a crime
Conspiracy is a crime
US outlets helping to influence an election is not a crime
Using foreign outlets/sources to influence the election is a crime
Wikileaks is considered a foreign outlet

I guess that's why Assange has been homesteading in that Ecuadorian embassy in London for five years, seeing how Assange and Russia are buds?

Four counts cover his time with or after the Trump campaign. The rest are before, which though legally exculpatory on its face, raises a lot of interesting questions.
Count 1: Conspiracy Against US—In or about and between 2006 and 2017. That’s the lying/impeding investigation charge.
Count 2: Conspiracy to Launder Money—In or about and between 2006 and 2016.
Count 11: False and Misleading FARA Statements — 2016-2017 (all after he left the campaign.)
Count 12: False statement: 2016-2017 (after he left the campaign)

Wait...so you are turning legally exculpatory evidence into a negative? Color me shocked.

Crimes discovered during the course of a legal criminal investigation are and should be prosecutable. If I serve a warrant on you for suspected possession with intent to distribute and happen to find a body in your basement, I can't really walk away from that.
Not quite the same as a criminal breaking into your house and finding out that you like furry porn and wine coolers and then strategically leaking it to your friends and the public to aid equally douchey people who just don't like you.
