In starting MTP today he lays out the damning timeline where hours after the meeting Trump is announcing he is going to have some juicy information on Clinton.
He then shows the timeline context that everyone at DU knows; calling for Russian to release 30,000 emails, the forced change in the Republican platform and so on.
I think its like professional sports when the outstanding play of the top teams (Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and New York Times) causes the second tier teams to amp up their performance.
Who knew that Chuck Todd could sink a three pointer from downtown.
Keep it up Chuckie and you might even become a first tier broadcaster.

The documents would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father, read the email, written by a trusted intermediary, who added, This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its governments support for Mr. Trump.
If the future presidents eldest son was surprised or disturbed by the provenance of the promised material or the notion that it was part of a continuing effort by the Russian government to aid his fathers campaign he gave no indication.
He replied within minutes: If its what you say I love it especially later in the summer.
Four days later, after a flurry of emails, the intermediary wrote back, proposing a meeting in New York on Thursday with a Russian government attorney.
