As far as I’m concerned, even the most innocent explanation, that Trump did not actively collude with the Russians behind the scenes during the election, but nonetheless PUBLICLY goaded them to continue hacking the DNC and then very actively obstructed every law enforcement effort to discover the extent of that interference is, in and of itself, a clear example of the sort of high crimes and misdemeanors that should be an impeachable offense under any fair observation. In normal criminal law, helping another person cover up a crime that you were not before-hand involved in is still an accessory after the fact. It’s not technically collusion. But it’s still a felony.
