In reply to the discussion: A historic Trump tell-all [View all]mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)6. Meeting 'went nowhere' except that DCLeaks was spun up within weeks and started releasing
Stuff stolen from the DNC by Russian Military Intel asset Guccifer 2.0.
And then a bit more than a month later, Wikileaks began doing the same.
Close Trump confidante Roger Stone (and former business partner of Trumps Campaign Chair, Paul Manafort) was in contact with Wikileaks and knew in advance that Podesta's (stolen by Russia) emails were to be shortly released, among other things he said that indicated advanced warning of what Wikileaks had planned.
Then Trump trumpeted Wikileaks over 140 times on the campaign trail, even though the documents they were posting were CLEARLY stolen (and there signs it was done by Russia even then, hence his "Russia If You're Listening" remark).

On the contrary, Trump is very publicly providing all the rope Mueller needs to hang him with.

Clinton was impeached for a lie to cover a private matter, not to cover a crime
