NBC intelligence and national security analyst Ken Dilanian said Friday night just because there wasn't a crime it does not mean there's not a scandal. Dilanian said Trump may have committed "impeachable" offenses "depending on the facts" and what is in the report by special counsel Robert Mueller.
However, earlier this year Dilanian reported the Senate Intel Committee probe found no evidence of Russian collusion in the Trump presidential campaign.

MSNBC host Chris Matthews lamented how he is "unsettled" that the Mueller probe did not result in any indictments on Russian collusion.
"What if the Mueller report finds that the Trump campaign were dupes of a Russian covert operation to manipulate our election and they allowed themselves by their willingness to take meetings with Russians and accept dirt from the Russians?" Dilanian asked.
"They allowed themselves to be manipulated by a very sophisticated Russian operation," Dilanian stated as fact. "That would be a scandal that may well be impeachable depending on the facts. We have to wait and see."
"Just because there wasn't a crime, doesn't mean there isn't a scandal," he added.
"What we can conclude from the absence of any criminal charges is it didn't rise to the level of criminal conspiracy but we can't conclude that the Trump campaign was blameless," Dilanian said of the infamous Trump Tower meeting.

According to them (msm and Democrats) Trump is (and trending) so unpopular with the electorate, all they have to do is stay out of crazy-land.
Here's hoping they outdo themselves to be crazy and crazier.
“News” people are sooooooo pathetic on so many levels. LOL
“My only conclusion is that the President transmitted to Mueller that he would take the Fifth,” Dilanian said. “He would never talk to him and therefore, Mueller decided it wasn’t worth the subpoena fight hat would delay his investigation and report for months, going down that road and knowing he would lose.”
Spin, spin, spin.... How unfortunate (for them) that Trump was on record saying he’d be happy to talk to Team Mueller.
Plenty of crimes. Still a scandal. Lock her up.
Every time I hear this crap I think of how Obama’s open criminal behavior was covered up or ignored. That’s why I despise the media.
Fake...but accurate
The Scandal is in the Obama Adimn and how they tried to railroad an elected President
A lot like when Lanny Davis said just because there was semen doesn’t mean there was sex.
Bargaining seems to be the stage of the day. When these people hit the depression stage, get your popcorn ready.
Spied on
Yes double down DNBC, you have no credabilty to lose.
Kenneth! Place the bong on the table and just back away! It’s going to be alright, we’ve called your mommy and she will be here shortly.
Exactly.
I keep thinking, that in an official federal election for President of the United States, with both candidates on the election ballot used by 50 different states, Trump won the majority of them, as prescribed in the US Constitution, and was thus elected President of the United States by the American people.
Yet here we have numerous officers of that same United States, who swore oaths to protect and defend that same United States Constitution, actually conspired to defy their own oaths and violate the laws established under the Constitution.
There needs to be a reckoning of these crimes, and prosecution, as crimes they absolutely are.
We need to be on target on this issue, and keep bringing it up until it is complete!
Ken Dilanian = CIA
How about a US Senator employing a Chinese spy? Is that the kind of crime they’re talking about?
First of all, it isn't a crime or even a scandal to get dirt on your political opponent. Happens all the time.
Second of all, the Trump tower meeting where Hillary dirt wasn't accepted by the Trump team...
How is taking a meeting "manipulate our election" work?
“Dilanian said Trump may have committed “impeachable” offenses “depending on the facts” and what is in the report by special counsel Robert Mueller.”
There is that definitive “may.” again. In other words Dilanian has absolutely nothing.
Taking a page from Dan Rather’s, “Just because we faked the evidence, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.”

NO Trump/Russian collusion, anyone like me, wondering is there was a Hillary/Russian collusion? Has the dead line for treason run out?
