For a year, the big question of
Russiagate has boiled down to this: Did Donald Trump’s campaign collude
with the Russians in hacking the DNC?
And until last week, the answer was “no.”
As ex-CIA director Mike Morell said in
March, “On the question of the Trump campaign conspiring with the
Russians … there is smoke, but there is no fire, at all. … There’s no
little campfire, there’s no little candle, there’s no spark.”
Well, last week, it appeared there had
been a fire in Trump Tower. On June 9, 2016, Donald Trump Jr., Jared
Kushner and Paul Manafort met with Russians — in anticipation of
promised dirt on Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
While not a crime, this was a blunder.
For Donald Jr. had long insisted there had been no collusion with the
Russians. Caught in flagrante, he went full Pinocchio for four days.
