Hosting a meeting and providing a delegation including your son not cooperative.


Having the meeting was moronic, because it was obviously a trap and a public relations nightmare.

But no, having a meeting with a Russian lawyer who says she has information that incriminates Clinton is not conspiring to commit an illegal act.

secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose

Especially, not specifically

Is this your definition or not?

"secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose"

Did the Trump campaign cooperate or form a secret agreement with Russia to commit an illegal act?

To quote the report, "We understood coordination to require an agreement - tacit or explicit - between the Trump campaign and the Russian government on election interference. That requires more than the two parties taking actions that were informed or responsive to the others actions or interests."


Willingly accepting dirt on your political opponent as "part of Russia and it's government support of Mr.Trump" is collusion. It would be a secret agreement or cooperation with the Russians.

We're discussing a hypothetical, because the evidence shows that no "dirt" was actually accepted or received during the Trump tower meeting. I think I've been clear on that.

Disagree. As Mueller notes, by "collusion" we're really talking about conspiracy, and the campaign is not conspiring to commit illegal acts by accepting evidence that incriminates Clinton.

The definition I posted speaks for itself. Someone can collude or collaborate with a foreign power without violating conspiracy statutes.
