If Jill Stein is now also being investigated for purported "collusion," consider how expansive (and incoherent) the notion of "collusion" has now becomehttps://twitter.com/SarahMMimms/status/942905601188917249 …

So, what "collusion" offense could Stein have hypothetically committed? If we define "collusion" as simply interfacing with 'Russian-backed' actors over the course of a campaign, then Stein could already be guilty. For one, she participated in an RT-sponsored Green Party debate.pic.twitter.com/xlgVHiMQ5a

By that standard, Trump would also be guilty by dint of appearing on Larry King's show, which is licensed by RT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_5MtZ0Wv70 …

But this just highlights how much the parameters of "colluded" have expanded: far beyond any recognizable criminal offense, and into the realm of what you might call "political offenses." It's utterly incoherent.

Don't you know, if any Russian troll bot ever sent you a message or if they trolled you on social media, YOU too have colluded! You got something to hide, comrade?
