How did Russia collude with Trump?

Actually they might have.

First, a correction, it's common for Republicans to claim that the Clinton campaign "ignored" the rust belt states which Trump flipped. That explanation allows them to portray Trump's victory, which came despite Clinton getting millions more votes, was due to some sort of skill or insight on Trump's part, rather than pure dumb luck. But it's false. The Clinton campaign didn't ignore those states, at least not all of them. They actually spent a decent amount of money in Pennsylvania and held one of their last rallies there.

Now, on to the Russians and collusion. We know that the Russians stole emails from Democrats, that became clear in the 2016 election. But relatively recently we learned that one of the other things that they stole from the DCCC (the organization trying to elect Democrats to Congress) was a whole lot of data, including polls. Now the "maybe" part comes in next. About a month after the DCCC got hacked, the Trump campaign began shifting money into ad buys in the Midwest, areas which had traditionally gone for Democrats. Now maybe this was just their own independent decision. But maybe the Russians passed along polling data to them, data which showed that Democrats might be weak in the Rust Belt.

No one claims the Russians "won" the election for Trump. However, plenty of evidence has been uncovered that they were then and are now actively engaged in a campaign of propaganda and misinformation aimed at the American voter. Is that something youre OK with? You think thatvshoild be allowed?

Good summary here, read points 3 and 11 specifically:

Russia got illegally obtained documents about the DNC and offered to share them with the Trump campaign, members of whom (including Don Jr.) met with the Russians to review these documents and then lied about it.

Only reason they weren't charged? Apparently it doesn't count as illegal if you're too stupid to know it was illegal, so Junior was off the ol' hook-a-roo.

The Mueller report CONFIRMED Russian interference in the 2016 election and Mueller said Russia is definitely still interfering. However a lot of the details have been redacted. What we know for certain is:

-Russian agents planted in the NRA and the NRA received money from Russia

-Voter information was hacked by Russia

-Russia launched social media campaigns

Now as for what might have happened, I mentioned that voter information was accessed but anything more than that was redacted in the Mueller report. What people speculate happened is that people who were registered democrats in swing states were removed from the active voter registry so when they showed up to vote they could not vote normally. This explains why the exit polls showed different numbers than what the actually voter tallies were and why Trump pretty much pulled off the extremely unlikely miracle run through the swing states to win the election. Again, this is all speculation because the actual information was redacted but it seems like a real possibility.

As for impeaching Trump, the Mueller investigation found no fewer than 10 instances of felony level obstruction of justice. That alone should be enough to impeach Trump. Nevermind the fact that so much of his administration was found guilty of indicted as part of the Mueller investigation as well.

Collusion is not a crime. There were over 200 contacts by the Trump campaign with Russian government agents. He asked for Hillary Clinton's emails to be retrieved by the Russians, and they actually started working on it. He received campaign strategy assistance from Russian agents. They agreed to offers for information about opposing candidates. They did not report contact to the FBI.

Trump shows obstruction of justice on multiple occasions. That is the focus.

Trump is below dirt for what he says and does, regardless of the Russians in the election.

I consider Trump statements in Helsinki to be treasonous.

Add - Most of the questions in politics of Y/A are highly slanted and only looking for agreement to an opinion.

That makes the question and answers worthless. I prefer to educate anyone who is interested.

Only in the Left's puny little minds did that happen.

The claim is that Anti-Hillary propaganda is what spun the election and that without the Russian Trolls the election would have gone differently.

There are notable attempts to hack the election (Russia did hack Florida Election systems a few time)

The real russia collusion was uncovered, and it's Hillary, the dnc, and some rogue FBI agents involved in paying for the fake russian dossier, and using that for warrants to spy on Americans.

According to the lack of evidence they didn't.

The IG Report will expose the real Russia collusion. By Democrats.

Democrats think all Americans are as gullible and stupid as their supporters.
