There is no law stating you can't do business with Russia. There is no law against collusion.
We found this out so far:
Manafort was deep in debt owing millions to a Russian oligarch tied to Putin when he went to work for Trumpo’s campaign WITHOUT PAY.
Dont call it collusion if you like / but something stinking to high heaven when it comes to campaign finance laws is involved here.
Trumpo got a free campaign director who directed the Republican Party Platform favorable to RUSSIAN Oligarchs being sanctioned by the Obama Administration for the annexation of Crimea.
Manafort’s donation of his services to the Trump campaign if found to be that - a donation - as I see it coming from foreign interests that certainly had reason to believe that a Trumpo White House wouid be more likely to lift sanctions than a Clinton one.
Manafort has lied (facing the rest of his life in prison) about all this Russian connected stuff among many others including Kushner and Trumpo, Jr.
Did Trumpo know that Manafort was a Russian agent working for free on his campaign? Who knows? He is a buffoon so he can cite the buffoon defense.
What happened in 2016 was not simply doing business with Russia.
