Putin's a monster who murders people in his country, invaded his neighbor and bombs hospitals in Syria, in addition to the more relevant attack on the US, but saying he's actually equivalent to Hitler is still pretty dumb; there's no indication he has genocidal intent, and that's what makes Hitler more than just a warmonger. Everyone in the US loves to compare every bad guy to Hitler or Stalin, but Putin's pretty firmly in a still terrible tier below those guys.

Is collusion a crime? Like, can you be sent to jail for collusion with an enemy of the US? Or is it just called treason at that point?

Liberals turning into war cheerleaders isn't going to help anything though. You don't call someone Hitler unless you want to fight them, and starting a war with Russia is almost as crazy as just doing what Putin says. Hillary doing poo poo like comparing Putin to Hitler obviously didn't do her much good.

It's possible to view a state as an enemy without cheering for open war on them. I know that's hard for a lot of Republicans to wrap their minds around.

Well, the crime here isn't "collusion" its accepting foreign aid in an election, which is definitely a crime

Accepting aid from a foreign State in an election is a crime. Now Don Jr. will say he never accepted aid so voila no crime. But he could still get charged with conspiracy, which I think he was trying to subvert by publishing the e-mails and going NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

They knew about it. It has actually been reported before that there was some sort of a meeting. No one could really confirm it though.

People knew it was going on but without a definitive proof it was just hearsay.

Correct, Putin isn't a nazi, he merely sponsors them internationally, and frequently domestically (until they become inconvenient, at which point they are thrown into jail).

Then, somehow, someone leaked footage of the meeting recorded via smartphone that has Donald Jr. calling Donald Trump to accept the Russians' offer.

Bonus points is that the footage came from Donald Jr.'s phone because he was paranoid and recorded the whole thing.

And more than a dozen sources from Congress, law enforcement and white-collar criminal cases who are familiar with such probes say the question of potential collusion between Trump’s aides and the invasive social media accounts is a crucial one.

Someone should make a ranking list of the most-sourced stories about this administration.
