The Steps ... (SO FAR)...
#1: There was no communication with the Russians.
#2: There was communication with the Russians, but there was no collusion.
#3: There was collusion, but so what. Is collusion really a crime?
^^ THAT is what the Tumps want us to believe?

That's conspiracy theory nonsense.
Like the Seth Rich stories.
Or the plutonium stories.

This is collusion.
Even IF it was collusion....
could you tell us all what US law was broken?
The law barring foreign nationals from providing assistance in US elections.

How much was contributed?
Doesn't have to be monetary assistance...
donation of money or other thing of value
information is valuable.

They mean items of monetary value. They say that so people can't skirt the law by providing artwork, land or other forms of compensation.
"Information has value" is a catchphrase, not a legal doctrine.

I take it reading comprehension is a problem for you.
That all talks about donating money to a political campaign, in various guises.
It does not say that providing information about illegal activity is somehow illegal if you're Russian.

Lets pretend no law was broken.
Would you really be comfortable with the idea of the POTUS having won because of Russian interference?
Now laws may very well have been broken, but just take the issue of law out of it, its still very disturbing. What bothers me more than anything right now is how Trump supporters such as yourself seem to be ignoring this possibility, you are blinded by politics.

There is a new law that says if you speak with any Russians and you are opposition to the Democrat party it's illegal and should result in a revote if democrats lose an election.

There was NO OFFICIAL communication. This lawyer quickly proved she was full of it and was setting them up.
A Russian pop singers manager set the meeting. LOL. Such government. Wow proof.
There was a 15 minute meeting that ended up being scheduled under false pretenses.
There was no collusion. This is the retarded part to the whole narrative. FFS based off WHAT?!
Do you have any EVIDENCE of collusion? You know non circumstantial smoke and BS?

I guess if a person breaks into a bank looking for money and the vault is empty, its no crime then huh?
