Mueller Report's failure generate specific laws against collusion seems to have legitimized collusion, & it's not only Ukraine with power to interfere in U.S. election 2020, but again opens doorway for Russia, here's how: nyti.ms/2LEY5Qq

3- Scenario would cause media storm & would help Russia pursue its interest politically destabilize Ukraine & U.S. simultaneously, would force Ukraine gov to intervene whether they want to or not, would put U.S. intel & diplomats in a terrible place AGAIN shoved into US election
4- this why any elected official using position for political purposes places U.S. in compromising dangerous position from many foreign adversaries, the scenarios are endless, this also makes journalists' jobs really hard, how to discuss Biden when truth difficult to determine
5- soliciting foreign help in a U.S. election endangers and weakens alliances across the board, erodes trust between international partners, sours intelligence sharing, leads to countries pursuing countervailing strategies against U.S. in case we don't hold up to our end.
6- extorting Ukraine for political dirt puts Ukraine in a weaker position in their region, while we are still sending U.S. tax payer $ to them, it's self defeating to American actions.
7- in conclusion, America just created disinformation nightmare for itself 1 yr out from election. There are entire organizations of foreign intelligence services dedicated to creating messes like this for our electoral processes. Here's the most famous cia.gov/library/center…
