The issue: Did the Trump campaign “collude” with the Russian government during the election?
What we know: Multiple prominent figures in the Trump campaign had longstanding financial ties to the Russian government or had some degree of knowledge of Russian hacking activities.
What we don’t know: Was anything promised to the Russian government in exchange for assistance during the election? And how much of the communication between the campaign and the Russians was authorized by Trump himself?
My analysis: If, as I suspect, no one can prove that Trump authorized a foreign policy quid pro quo, Russian election hacking is a public policy concern, but not a legal issue for the administration. Simply being the lucky beneficiary of Russian hacking activities is not a crime.
