Oh he’s SO exonerated. Not!
We all recall Trump calling on Russia to Find the Emails, which because it was out in public doesn’t count as conspiracy I guess. Well this effort extended to the Trump Campaign itself, which was willing not only to work with Russia and lord knows who else but to steal other people’s private stuff.
Why isn’t THAT a crime?
Also, note that our friend EriK Prince, brother of “Education” Secretary Betsy DeVos, was involved with this effort. Also Mike Flynn, who has yet to be sentenced.
From WaPo:
Trump also “made this request repeatedly” during the campaign, former national security adviser Michael Flynn told special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation. Flynn “contacted multiple people in an effort to obtain the emails,” including Peter Smith, a longtime Republican operative, and Barbara Ledeen, a Republican Senate staffer who herself had previously tried to find the emails. Ledeen, at the time, worked for Sen. Charles E. Grassley on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
You’ll recall Peter Smith, the Republican operative who’d helped finance “Troopergate,” an attempt to find dirt on Bill Clinton back in the dark ages, and who subsequently became involved with the Trump campaign. He too, along with Grassley’s former staffer Barbara Ledeen, was part of the effort to “find” the emails, along with Sam Clovis.
After Trump’s July comments about Russia, Smith launched his own effort to find the missing emails.
“He created a company, raised tens of thousands of dollars, and recruited security experts and business associates,” the investigation found. Smith also claimed “he was in contact with hackers ‘with ties and affiliations to Russia’ who had access to the emails, and that his efforts were coordinated with the Trump campaign,” but the special counsel could not establish if that was true.
I wonder how low they’ll go in 2020. And what exactly is stopping Russia from happily working with Americans again.
