To be sure, the latter are crimes and should be punished, but lying to the FBI does not equal collusion with Russia in order to affect an election.

Only 5--and counting. 

If you tell the FBI you didn't meet with Russians to work some angle for the Trump campaign, and they find out you did, then lying to the FBI is at least ABOUT collusion.

Trump keeps insisting there was no collusion on the part of him or his campaign, despite so much open source evidence to the contrary. And he is obsessed with stopping the investigation--through, if you trust the intel services, Russia continues to meddle in our election processes.

Do you ever watch Hannity? Almost every night he insists there is a deep state engaged in a witchhunt to bring Trump down. He insists there Mueller has offered no evidence of collusion and wants the investigation shut down.   I wonder--is Mueller supposed to announce whatever evidence he finds whenever he finds it? Do other investigators do that? 

Seems to me that Trump, Hannity and company are doing their best to cast doubt on the FBI as an institution and to disparage the character of Mueller et al. so that when the special counsels report finally comes out, enough people will be uncertain about it to keep Congress in check.
Mueller and Comey are "best friends" now and swamp creatures who have made money of their time in the FBI--just the kind of people who would want to bring down the swamp cleaner Trump.  The steady, disciplined and focused Mueller who has served his country honorably for decades is no more trustworthy than an undisciplined, wildly tweeting/lying Trump who appears way more worried than an innocent man should be about "perjury traps" and mob-style fixers who might turn on him.
