Remember, if you will, Donald Trump publicly calling on the Russians to find Hillary Clinton's missing emails. Here's an assessment of that act from John Brennan, the director of the CIA under Obama whose security clearance was revoked by President Trump:
"By issuing such a statement, Mr. Trump was not only encouraging a foreign nation to collect intelligence against a United States citizen, but also openly authorizing his followers to work with our primary global adversary against his political opponent."
Trump supporters ask his detractors to cite any evidence of collusion. Trump, himself, regularly denies any collusion.
How about that act in July 2016, when he called on help from the Russians? Whether it was illegal or not, and regardless whether it fits under the roof of collusion or not, it certainly was an appeal for help from the Russian intelligence community, and a show that he was willing to work arm-in-arm with the branch of the Russian government working to undermine our elections.
