Donald Trump Jr. tweeted out his email chain yesterday about meeting with a Russian who claimed to have dirt on Hillary Clinton. I think it’s known as “opposition research” in Democrat circles but is elevated to “collusion” if it applies to their, uh, opposition.
“This is evidence of willingness to commit collusion.” – Jake Tapper
And that’s evidence of a thought crime right there.
But the real crime was scooping the NYT reporter who’s been dogging this story for a year:
Poor Jared, he’s been forced to transform his story from “hacking” to “colluding” to “tweeting about ‘willingness’” - what a bummer. Oh well, at least Jared’s working on a book about it all:
How close were you to publishing before Trump Jr. tweeted the emails?
I was a ways off. This was a thing that felt like it was going to go on for the rest of the time Donald Trump was in office. I have a book coming out that touches on the beginnings of it, though. - CJR
Here’s a story that he really ought to include in his book about The Great Russian Collusion of 2016-17, A Russia Collusion Story Worth Pursuing:
If you connect the dots, it is clear that Russia is funding U.S. environmental groups in an effort to suppress our domestic oil and gas industry, specifically hydraulic fracking. They have established an elaborate scheme that funnels money through shell companies in Bermuda. This scheme may violate federal law and certainly distorts the U.S. energy market.
Although connecting actual dots is not something that investigative “reporters” do any more. They’re too busy advancing the narrative:
Russia, Russia, Russia!
And for future reference, Hillary has some advice for Donald Trump Jr: Use BleachBit: it’s as if it never even happened.
