Defining Collusion as getting feedback or intel from Russia regarding a Presidential Election is most likely a double standard. If a Russian Politician wanted U.S. Help, I am presuming we would give it, and if found out, our government would state they were just acting as consultants.
One day we make look back at the Russia Investigation as a McCarthy like situation in which admitting to interacting with any Russian Person meant violation of the law, a ludicrous Investigative Standard to be adhering to. And, what is even more ironic, making everyone afraid to even admit they talked or interacted with a Russian person just meant that nothing could ever really be uncovered that might actually lead to a third or fourth party collusion.
I define collusion as actual Vote Tampering. Anything that actually disrupts or alters how votes are created, counted, tabulated, interpreted, or presented would be Collusion. Anything that prevents a person from having access to other political points of view could also be considered tampering. So if Russia had boots on the ground creating political voting flyers, or misrepresenting themselves as a political party and then doing something offensive that would harm the entity they were purposely falsely representing, that would be collusion.
But if Russia GAVE Trump valuable intel on what Americans wanted or what would sway an American's vote, as long as the information did not involve or lead to fabricating lies or vote tampering, there is no Collusion, it's CONSULTING.
There was such a rush to see if Trump or people from his administration consulted with Russia that apparently nobody bothered to differentiate Collusion from Consulting, and we are all the more mixed up and divided because of it.
If Trump Pardons those indicted during the Mueller Investigation, the more salient point that the people indicted were being asked to admit to a crime that wasn't a crime, will be lost. Let's hope someone has the sense to challenge the Mueller indictments as being based on an incorrect interpretation and differentiation between consulting and collusion, call it what it was, Consulting/Collusion, Confusion.
