I read the Don Jr.-Wikileaks correspondence, and don't see anything incriminating. No coordination of strategy. No sharing of stolen information. Certainly nothing like his "I love it" eagerness to accept help from the Russian government.https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/11/the-secret-correspondence-between-donald-trump-jr-and-wikileaks/545738/ …

Is Trump Jr. doing (a few of) the same things Wikileaks suggests—tweeting out the link they gave, for instance—disqualified because of a lack of any message saying “I’ll do that”?

No, it's because the material was public. Trump drawing attention surely increased traffic, but it was there for anyone to see. Wikileaks telling Jr. pre-publication that it had the info, and Jr. asking them to publish on a certain day to help the campaign would be coordination.

If I’m understanding you: what would disqualify that example, particularly, is that the only thing possibly coordinated was promotion?

Basically, yes. That's not incriminating. And even the coordination is minimal. Meaning, there's no back-and-forth, no discussion of timing or purpose, no request from Jr. for something illicit, etc.

I’d agree, but it’s surprisingly hard to avoid compartmentalizing as we get one bit of evidence at a time out of sequence, and he’s testified under oath about activity during the election. Have to be irritating & say for me it’s undecided, in the broader sense of “incriminating.”

I place immense value on evidence-based reasoning. Doing so has even more value if our society is moving away from that principle.
