(1,097 posts)Most likely, members of Trump's campaign team colluded with the Russians on the election hacks and the release of hacked documents through the Russian puppet, Wikileaks. The people at the top of the potential list are Flynn, Manafort, and Page. Others were likely involved, possibly including Jared Kushner.
Most likely, Trump was never directly involved with said collusion, just as Nixon was never involved with the Watergate break in.
Most likely Trump found out about the collusion either late in the campaign (probably in August of 2016 given the timing of events) or shortly after the election, and began his participation in the coverup.
To me, that is the most likely scenario. I'll wait for facts to come out before drawing absolute conclusions.
Furthermore, if Mensch and Carter claim there are sealed indictments, most likely a grand jury has yet to be seated.
