More Smoke on the Trump Fire

WikiLeaks had begun publishing hacked DNC emails for several moths before Donald Trump Jr. responded to their direct messages to him. Simply being in communication with WikiLeaks in the fall of 2016 -- and even taking direction about a suggested tweet from them (Trump Jr. tweeted a link to the WikiLeaks archive on October 14) isn't illegal.

So communication is now proven. And coordination -- between the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks -- is proven too.

Communication of any kind has long been denied by the Trump campaign -- at the highest levels.

Anything to win by the Trump team. Lie, cheat, steal, etc.

According to an article in The Atlantic, Trump, Jr., also sent an e-mail informing other people on the campaign—including Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, and Jared Kushner—about this contact.

All this raises serious questions about Trump, Jr.,’s actions. Foreign nationals are barred, by law, from interfering in a U.S. election by contributing something “of value” to a campaign. Any U.S. citizen who assists the perpetrator of such an action may be guilty of conspiracy, which, unlike the vaguely defined term “collusion,” is certainly a crime.

In short, Trump, Jr.,’s campaign activities have created a real problem for him and his father, and a public-relations disaster for the White House. Even though Roger Stone, a longtime Trump ally, boasted during the campaign about communicating with Julian Assange, and Trump himself repeatedly touted the hacked D.N.C. and Podesta e-mails—saying, on one occasion, “I love WikiLeaks”—the Trump camp has consistently and vehemently denied that it had any ties to the organization.
