I gave you a direct answer. And that answer was in the form of a question. Is soliciting dirt on a political candidate from Russia a crime?
Since your hypothetical question is based in this fact, I cannot answer your hypothetical until we agree on what a crime is.
HAHAHa. You’ve got to be joking! You answered my question by asking a question?! Good one. That literally avoiding giving an answer.
Here I will show you how to answer a question, it isn’t hard. You asked if soliciting dirt from a foreign government a crime. From my understanding I’d say NO unless in that process other laws were broken.
Ok now you answer my question. And point of fact... my hypothetical isn’t based on any premise. You are prescribing that. I’m asking a very basic question that only has to do what what I asked. I know that’s tough for you to comprehend but try your best to go about this at face value.
