Robert Mueller is tasked with finding a crime that does not exist in the law. It is a legal impossibility.
As special counsel, Mueller can engage in all manner of spectacular jurisprudential gymnastics. However, it will not change the fact that colluding with Russia is not, under Americas criminal codes, a crime. Its just not there.
Maybe it should be. Perhaps someday Congress will pass a law criminalizing such conduct in political campaigns. But for now, there is not a single statute outlawing collaboration with a foreign government in a U.S. presidential election. Or any election, for that matter.
Why, then, are so many people who are following the Trump-Russia saga under the mistaken impression that collusion is a crime? Principally, because it is a loaded word with an historic criminal connotation.

>>combining with a foreign power to subvert a presidential election is almost certainly treason
What was subverted? Did Russia hack voting machines, pay bums to vote, find “missing” ballots in a closet? Did it send questions to candidates before a debate? Did it organize people to register to vote in multiple counties? Did it put club-wielding thugs in front of polling places?
If it did anything, it obtained memos and emails and gave them to a leaker that Democrats used to love.
How do you even subvert an election process that is gamed out, computer modeled, and push-polled to death already?
What Putin did, if he did anything, was to allow the truth about Podesta and the gang around HRC to be divulged to the voters before they voted.
This is not a crime, it is a public service.
Both Mueller and Rosenstein need to be canned now.
A rouge investigation looking for a crime.
The pfishing attack on Panetta was a crime. I’m not a lawyer, but if Trump’s campaign in any way solicited that attack, that would be a crime.
I think you mean, “rogue.” “Rouge” means red. Oh, wait... never mind. You’re quite right, aren’t you?

It has, since day one, been an investigation in search of crime. Never should it have gone to this level.

Make an example of Obama first, then. Have him be the first to be arrested under the new collusion in foreign elections law.
Yes
why some people at FR want to ignore the actual enemy and attack republicans 24x7 is utterly beyond explanation.
