Collusion Much? Donald Trump Jr. Was Told Russians Wanted To Help Trump's Campaign

Before arranging a meeting with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer he believed would offer him compromising information about Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Jr. was informed in an email that the material was part of a Russian government effort to aid his father’s candidacy, according to three people with knowledge of the email.

The email to the younger Mr. Trump was sent by Rob Goldstone, a publicist and former British tabloid reporter who helped broker the June 2016 meeting. In a statement on Sunday, Mr. Trump acknowledged that he was interested in receiving damaging information about Mrs. Clinton, but gave no indication that he thought the lawyer might have been a Kremlin proxy.

Yes, indeed. This blows his cover right out of the water; namely, that he did look for opposition dumps on Clinton but had NO IDEA -- none whatsover -- that this meeting would be part of a larger Russian effort to interfere in our election process.
