Every time the GOP says "Collusion isn't a crime" the immediate response should be that conspiracy to collude is. Period. "Micro-targeting through social media for a presidential campaign is illegal along with the hacking of the various Dems", Rep Nadler said today. The Dems in the House on on top of this.

TrumpCo and the GRU worked together to violate that law, that is conspiracy.

Providing the voters to target, polling data, etc to the GRU is aiding and abetting their influence campaign to swing the election to Trump.

Nance said that Mueller almost certainly has a lot more related evidence proving both conspiracy and aiding and abetting.

He said that Manafort is going to jail for a long time.

I thought this as well, but for it to be treason, we have to be in a shooting war. I think the person would have to provide material help to the enemy as we, but I'm not sure on this.

It certainly is a betrayal of the USA however you slice it.
