Once again you fail to understand that the the actions taken were against an opposing candidate and party, not the US. And all they did was insert truth and facts into the process with the emails. But I guess truth and facts are the enemy of a candidate and party who's bread and butter are lies and dirty tricks. Admit it, you're not interested in free and fair elections, all you're concerned with is winning at any costs. That includes calling the folks that beat you cheaters when they used the words and deeds of your own candidate and party against you. LOL
Maybe you should concentrate your efforts in making your party transparent and fair, then you don't have to worry about skeletons in the closet coming out and biting you on the ass.

You got the first part of that correct, in that the
target was Clinton and her campaign. Congratulations, Tex, were making some headway here, finally, you dimwit! The obvious result and purpose was interference in our Free and Fair Election Process. Now, pertaining to the US and the election process, what does 18 U.S. Code § 953 say about a Trump Associate who colludes with a foreign Agent like the Russian Rep?
"Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."
The above from the statute highlighted above points directly toward the Trump Associate as the person who violated the law. The law targets the person who committed the violation, not injured parties, you bloody fool! Clinton, her campaign and the American people were the ones who suffered the consequences of the collusion of the Trump scofflaw and the Russian and the resulting hypothetical damage to the US election process and the publics' confidence in same. If you still don't understand the obvious logic of that, get a third grader to explain it to you very slowly.

You and others have been informed before that I'm an Indy and have been for the last 43 years, and have been since Aug 1974 when Nixon boarded Marine 1 for the last time. Hell, I was even a Young Republican for a time until then. You make another foolish assumption, and that puts you in the fools corner yet again, Tex! And yet again:
The unlawful action under 18 U.S. Code § 953 took place between the Trump rep and the Russian rep! The offer by the Russian and the acceptance of that offer by the Trump rep was the ACTION TAKEN against US interests in a free and fair election for the purpose of destabilizing that election, that MEASURE in question, would have been violative of the statute you claim doesn't apply! Waltzing around that with all your quibbling will NOT CHANGE THE FACTS, TEX!
The two ACTING PARTIES of your hypothetical would, indeed, be colluding to hinder an important government process and that cooperation with the foreign entity by the Trump rep would violate the statute. Q.E.D. Now will you man up, or will your stupid pride keep you from admitting error?
