Most major charges also carry lesser, included charges. If charged with collusion, the lesser included charge would likely be attempted collusion. The conviction penalty is less severe, but it is a crime nonetheless.

Where Does Clinton Foundation Money Go?


Now how about the Trump Foundation? Last I heard it got shut down. Wonder why?
I wouldn't mind having 11% of the $250,000,000 . Might pay for my private jet in case I need a tarmac meeting or something.

You don't understand the first thing about charitable foundations, do you?

""The Alternative 'Russia Scandal""

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-...russia-scandal

""Uranium One produces a small and dwindling amount of that U.S. figure. Last year, it mined just 23 tons in the U.S. — about 2 percent of the small U.S. production.""


""Some of Uranium One's U.S. uranium has gone to Canada and Europe, according to The Hill newspaper. But there is no evidence that any of it has gone to Russia.""

""This episode raises the familiar scenario of overlap between the Clinton's private dealings and public actions and the potential for conflicts of interest. Yet a number of Clinton critics and news organizations have looked into the matter and have not presented evidence of wrongdoing.""


That it that is what all the fuss is about? When we have Trump suspected, accused of conspiracy, money laundering with Russia and then obstruction of justice in a attempt to conceal.

Maybe there is a reason.....

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/26/politi...ess/index.html

""The Hill's reporting raises questions about whether decision-makers on the uranium deal, including members of Congress, were informed of the ongoing racketeering investigation. Sources cited by the newspaper indicated that Russian nuclear officials routed millions of dollars to the United States that were designed to benefit the Clinton Foundation at the same time the deal was approved. The Hill does not indicate there's any evidence to show that Clinton was influenced by this.""


If this is what you are talking about? IIRC was already investigated and found lacking.

A meeting?
Not with an attention span of 30 seconds or less. Twitter is quicker and cheaper requiring no knowledge nor intelligence. Is it true that the Trump Foundation paid for creating the fake Time covers?
