From what little we know there is clear evidence of collusion with the Russian government. Carter Page was under investigation of being a spy for Russia before Trump decided to run for office, and before he was part of the Trump campaign. George Papadopoulos was meeting with Russian agents in London, and bragging about the Russians giving them inside information against Hillary Clinton. This doesn't come from the FBI or even the Steele dossier; This comes from a foreign government.

So they have a lot of evidence. And they have a lot more evidence than what they can tell us.
Is it a crime to get information from a foreign government on an opponent? What info and was it true? How many have been convicted in a court of law?

It's not illegal for a top ranking government official to have emails on a private server. In fact, it is not illegal for a top ranking government official to have classified emails on a private server. At the time it was common - Prior Secretaries of State did this, as well as members of Congress.

Oddly enough none of them have been investigated.
If not illegal it should be.

And?

Some emails were lost. This is more of a technical issue than anything else. If Hillary Clinton ordered the emails destroyed to hide something, that is a serious crime. Otherwise it's more of a disappointment. The Bush administration lost millions of emails, but oddly enough no one seemed to care.
