I mean, it's literally unnecessary given DOJ policy on charging the president so its only purpose is to put a thumb on the scale regarding public opinion and/or impeachment, so, yeah, understatement.

And it's not a crime to opportunistically, on national TV, invite the Russians to do what they did. If you want it to be a crime, go pass a law. But stop fucking whining.

You have, from the beginnings of these discussions, accepted the GOP frame that's laser-focused on "crimes." Which has been such a wildly successful strategy that no one is talking about how Mueller found that the Russian were actively interfering with the election, Trump new about it and was lying about it and thus compromised from an intelligence perspective from the jump. Putin literally had information he could use to influence Trump - the fact that Trump knew and lied about Russian involvement in the campaign - from day 1.
That alone should be a massive scandal.
