Questions for those in the know :
1) Is it illegal for a campaign to have contact with any foreign government ( e.g. Russia or China )?
2) Is the campaign required to disclose any such contact by law? If so, to whom?
One of the other aspects of this is that many of the people they are claiming “colluded” with the Russians (to do what, exactly?) were not even in his campaign and furthermore could not have had any idea that they might someday be offered a position in his administration. There’s nothing illegal or improper in doing business with Russia - in fact, the Clintons were all over Russia, trying to extort money from it for their dubious business deals - and it is to be expected that high-level business deals will also be discussed by the Russian parties with Russian government officials.
It’s like the “laptop leak.” This information appeared in the press about a month ago, when the Brits were the first to announce that they were banning laptops on flights from certain countries. At the time, they said that the intelligence did not come from them, and speculation named Israel as the possible source. This was open, in the press, and announced to all the world by the media literally a month before Trump had this supposed conversation with the Russian. So where is the “Trump intelligence leak” in all this?
