Did Trump call in and attend that way? Did he know about the meeting ahead of time and strategize with his team? You guys keep making the argument that all the evidence needs to be on the table right this minute. A little evidence comes out, you guys dismiss it, then more comes out and you dismiss that too, then we find out more and you claim that it’s not there yet. Do you get that the investigation is ongoing and they aren’t releasing every single thing they know right as they know it? A year ago you guys would have been saying there was no Trump Tower meeting at all, it was fake news.
The Russian clearly had a preference on who they wanted to win. They did seek to sow division in several ways but the vast majority of fake news was beneficial to Trump. Considering Trump barely won the election because of a few states in the Midwest that were incredibly tight, how can you say the Russian interference didn’t affect the election? Not that they changed votes, that’s not being argued, but their presence clearly affected the perception of some voters of the candidates.
