Using campaign money to fund a fake dossier is a criminal offense. She can now be charged with 15 crimes. That's up from 13 on Monday.
The dossier isn't fake though.
As more evidence is revealed the more the information in the dossier is corroborated.

Follow the breadcrumbs to the FISA warrant.
That is the crux of the story.
Was this phony research used to get a FISA warrant
to spy on Trump?
This is what I have been saying all along.
As shady as Don Jr or the dems going to russia to get dirt on each other is, I don't think it's a crime for either.
But if the dossier was used for a fisa warrant without a thorough investigation that it was legit, it is a scandal of epic proportions.

Bush did the same for me from the opposite direction.

Pay attention to the details. Don Jr. was not "seeking details," he was approached by the representative of a hostile foreign government. As a businessman, he should have known that whatever the foreign agent was offering, it would not be free. Why was he willing to deal with an enemy of America, and what would he be willing to do for them in exchange? That's the issue here.

You are full of it as a Christmas Turkey the day after Thanksgiving.
What law is violated by either team for seeking information? I want to know if you can find it? I am positive you can't.
