On the other hand, if Trump asked for a different level of "help" can someone let me know?

Trump won the game legally by engaging in the mother of all hacks. He worked indirectly with a foreign adversary and, legally, he won.
That burns the shit out of people. Understandably. They want it to be illegal, to be disqualifying, to somehow be different from the sleaze the Clintons themselves engaged in while running.
Politicians do these things. And worse. The only difference is this one does it openly.
Only a group of lawyers would find this offensive. From a business perspective, it’s just like Uber’s model — ask forgiveness later rather than permission before, and assume the price of bending the law to what you desire a cost of doing business.
Trump’s simply post-law. He just doesn’t understand that. Dumb fuck stumbled into it.
