I'm confused about the part in the memo where it says this was revealed in GP's plea documents, even though it wasn't. Then Schiff said on TV that it was revealed for the first time in the memo. What's missing?

The memo doesn't say that. Redacted sentence says something to the effect of: "Pap told his drinking buddy that Russians offered to help by releasing kompromat anonymously." The memo then says the plea made it clear [redacted offer of anonymously leaked kompromat] was emails.

This theory is flawed. We have to assume that Russia is so inept that they exposed the secret relationship they had with Trump that eluded the FBI/CIA/NSA/SEC etc since 2013 by telling a newly minted campaign official of their plans.

So the Trump campaign knew but also decided and were surprised by the Russian lawyers offer. Again, is Russia so inept that they were redundant in their efforts to give this information to Trump? How did KIMDOTCOM Know assange would hurt hillary? Will@Mueller interview him?

Now a month after the Trump Tower meeting Trump makes a joke about Hillary’s emails. Was this part of the plan? Why did assange need to send Jr an encryption Key if Manafort and Gates were the resident Russian colluders on Trumps team? This theory points to setups and stupidity

I truly believe Trump wanted the emails after they were offered to his campaign. But his actions show us that he planned to turn them over to the FBI in reality show fashion. This the press conference scheduled after the Trump tower meeting about Hillary’s emails that fizzled
