Yes and no.<\/em><\/p>\n

Abuses of power can involve actions that are legal in and of themselves. Buying stocks is legal. Buying stocks with insider information is a crime. Susan Rice unmasking the names of Trump associates is not illegal, though it’s about as unethical and tainted as anything can get. But if that information was then employed, passed along or leaked by anyone in the chain, it becomes a crime.<\/em><\/p>\n
