There was Russian collusion during the 2016 presidential campaign, but it didn't come from Donald Trump.
For more than two years, the campaign, presidential transition, and official government administration of Donald Trump operated under a cloud of suspicion that they had engaged in a treasonous conspiracy to steal the 2016 election from former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Trump and his top associates were accused of collusion and of conspiring with the Russians to subvert American democracy.
The former director of the Central Intelligence Agency publicly declared Trump to be guilty of treason, an offense punishable by death. The former head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the country’s premier law enforcement agency, intimated that the president had illegally obstructed justice.
In the end, none of it was true. After a nearly two-year-long investigation that issued 2,800 subpoenas, interviewed 500 witnesses, and used nearly 300 wiretaps and pen registers, Special Counsel Robert Mueller concluded that there was no evidence of collusion by Trump or his associates.
But that doesn’t mean 2016 was free of Russian collusion. To the contrary, there is clear evidence that a 2016 presidential campaign willfully and deliberately colluded with Russians in a bid to interfere with American elections. It wasn’t Trump’s campaign that colluded with shady Russia oligarchs and sketchy Russian sources to subvert American democracy: it was Hillary Clinton’s.

The Trump campaign DID NOT collude with Russia.
The Clinton campaign and the DNC DID collude with Russia.
Alinsky 101 basics. Accuse your potential accuser of precisely the crimes you committed, thus innoculating yourself from scrutiny. Old stuff. Very Clinton unoriginal.
A pen register, or dialed number recorder (DNR), is an electronic device that records all numbers called from a particular telephone line. The term has come to include any device or program that performs similar functions to an original pen register, including programs monitoring Internet communications.
The United States statutes governing pen registers are codified under 18 U.S.C., Chapter 206 programs monitoring Internet communications.

She DID sell them the uranium, didn’t she? SHE’S the one they wanted to be dealing with for the next 4 (8) years!
