Perhaps this is a reference to a meeting with Russians that involved no collusion to steal an election, but an unsuccessful attempt to convince Trump affiliates to oppose Magnitsky Act sanctions against Russia.
Steele invented a document sourced to Russian officials in and near the Kremlin with outlandish and discredited allegations that were fed to a compliant media and weaponized by U.S. government officials to spy on American citizens connected to Trump.
The next "Highly detailed" and "Highly damning" item from VandeHei: "We now know Russia offered in those chats campaign assistance - 'synergy,' they called it. We now know no one around Trump alerted the FBI of this effort to subvert our elections."
It is unclear what he's referencing, since Trump's statements have accurately noted that no business deal with Russia has ever been reached, and he had spent years talking publicly about developing property in Russia and various other countries.
We "Now" know that Trump, who fired James Comey more than 18 months ago, is not a huge fan of his handling of the Russia probe.
VandeHei then attempts to convict Trump of a crime using charges and process crime convictions against Paul Manafort, Mike Flynn, and Michael Cohen, none of whom have been charged with treasonously colluding with Russia to steal the election from Hillary Clinton.
What it instead delivered was warmed-over D.C. conventional wisdom, dramatically overwrought and imprecise allegations, and a notable lack of any evidence that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election.
