    In his/their defense, there has been plenty of outside help.

    Russian Dirt on Clinton? ‘I Love It,’ Donald Trump Jr. Said


    The June 3, 2016, email sent to Donald Trump Jr. could hardly have been more explicit: One of his father’s former Russian business partners had been contacted by a senior Russian government official and was offering to provide the Trump campaign with dirt on
    Hillary Clinton.

    The documents “would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father,” read the email, written by a trusted intermediary, who added, “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

    If the future president’s elder son was surprised or disturbed by the provenance of the promised material — or the notion that it was part of an ongoing effort by the Russian government to aid his father’s campaign — he gave no indication.

    He replied within minutes: “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.”

    They committed an ongoing hacking campaign to attempt to illegally gain access to all sorts of computer systems, literally thousands upon thousands of individual felonies. The inner circle of the then-candidate and now-President agreed to take the information gained from this illegal act and helped cover up the source of it, making them accessories after the fact.

    This is the *generous* interpretation, which believes their assertion that they didn't directly coordinate the hacking as it was happening, despite the circumstantial evidence pointing strongly toward that and the President literally on tape asking the Russians to do it.

    Commit the crimes in broad daylight, confess to everything, profess to everything, then piss and moan you can't get a fair trial because everyone is convinced of your guilt.

    But there's no evidence of collusion, right?

    Still trying to wrap my head around him tweeting these out. I get that the NYT was going to publish them soon. But still seems crazy.

    There goes YankeeFan's "Where's the email?" narrative.

    He'll have a new one within an hour. Just gotta wait for the talking points to be issued.

    Even worse, some of these stories are neglecting to include the compulsory disclaimer: "there has been no conclusive evidence to date that actual vote totals were altered or corrupted."

    Better remember to Be Careful.
