I keep coming back to this question.
It seems to me that yes, this constitutes collusion.
I have yet to see a legal definition that applies to politics. Can anyone supply a definition that pertains directly to politics?
Here's the other thing. Political campaigns do search for dirt on opponents and use it as a vehicle to trash the other side. The difference here is that they went to Russia?
What American (first of all) trusts anything Russia has to say about an American Presidential candidate and for what reason would they go to Russia for such information?
What I'm saying is that I don't think these people are smart. You trust your biggest enemy? Who does that?
Collusion can be better defined as Conspiracy to Commit a Crime.
It is not a crime to do opposition research. It is a crime for Americans to use foreign governments as a source of that information.
We shouldn't trust them, beyond the extent that an investigation show. "Trust but Verify". The Drumpf team wanted to win at all costs."Russia I hope you have those 33,000 Emails"
Drumpf.
Apparently damn near every one on the Drumpf Team.
