I got thinking of that after the news broke that special counsel Robert Mueller's probe failed to find proof that the Donald Trump campaign colluded with the Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign.
"If the Hillary Clinton campaign had reason to think that, say, the British government had 'very high level and sensitive information' showing serious misbehavior by Trump, I think it would have had every right to get that information and see if it should be put before the American people as evidence that Trump shouldn't be elected," he wrote.
For a crime to be committed, the Trump people would have had to do something truly devious, such as hacking into the Clinton campaign's computers.
The stuff made up was the infamous Steele Dossier, a compilation of unfounded allegations against Trump put together by a former British intelligence agent by the name of Christopher Steele of Fusion GPS, an opposition-research firm that was first hired by Trump's primary opponents and then later by Democrats and the Clinton campaign.
He's the Trump appointee who succeeded Jeff Sessions, the former Alabama senator who I suspect will go down in history as the worst presidential pick ever.
In the frantic days after his surprise victory, Trump picked Sessions to be his attorney general.
Trump punished Sessions by giving him the cold shoulder for two years before finally firing him.
