Making too much of this. What's the theory? Russian intel ops ready to go, but waiting for Trump's public ok? Not ready, but Trump suggested it and they quickly threw something together? Yes, Trump deserves criticism for his statement. But evidence of collusion? I'm skeptical.https://twitter.com/jonathanalter/status/1017826125094047745 …
That's more plausible to me. If we take it like Don Jr.'s "I love it"--as an expressed willingness to collude or at least support for Russia's election interference efforts--then it's another piece of a big puzzle, rather than the smoking gun it's being portrayed as.
