Why, you seem uninterested and facetious at best. What I stated was clear. It had nothing to do with collusion or help of a foreign government to get elected. Please keep up.

So in a short synopses, Hardings secretary of the interior secretly sold oil leases to two concerns. He received about $200,000.00 personally for doing that. He illegally profited due to his high ranking position in the government. Manifort, Flynn, and Kushner were acting as foreign agents during the campaign, and in Flynns case and Kushners, after the election if my memory is correct. They needed to be registered and were not. Flynn, and Kushner later amended their paperwork to be registered. They could have been charged with felonies. They were paid by foreign governments. The reason to register is to prevent conflicts of interest. Potentially they could have been influence peddling. In the case of Trump tower New York city foreigners were renting meeting rooms, and apartments. I do not know the specific statute, but basically it says high ranking officials including the president cannot benefit from foreign money spent.

So I am not talking about collusion, or election tampering, but rather the potential flow of illegal money to high ranking officials. Though Manafort was never a high ranking official. The overall picture is more complex, but that is the gist of it.

and it all adds up to selling influence and allowing foreign influence in our policy making with a yuuuuge amount of opinion swaying marketing and ...perhaps...a president or at least a president's advisers, supporting it for profit.

the key player in the Teapot thing actually did not break a law by gifting no bid contracts. It was the payoffs he took that led to insider influence in the decisions that did him in.

The breaking of the law was taking the money, or to be specific liberty bonds.

seen recent info on the Trump Foundation?
Not exactly on the up and up either...yet neither has anything to do with possibly peddling policy influence to foreign enemies.
