The untenability of the “no collusion” talking point.

There was extensive outreach between Trump and Russia

In reality, as exhaustively documented by the Moscow Project .. https://themoscowproject.org/explainers/trumps-russia-cover-up-by-the-numbers-70-contacts-with-russia-linked-operatives/ , there were extensive communications between people in Trump’s orbit and Russian government figures or others who had, or purported to have, close ties to the Putin regime.

Some of this communication — including Michael Cohen’s January 2016 email to Dmitry Peskov .. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/kremlin-confirms-it-received-letter-from-trump-lawyer-about-stalled-moscow-real-estate-project-but-did-not-respond/2017/08/30/ee509c0a-8d80-11e7-8df5-c2e5cf46c1e2_story.html?utm_term=.f990db5ce7c9 .. and Ivanka Trump’s October 2015 exchange with Dmitry Klokov .. https://www.buzzfeed.com/anthonycormier/ivanka-trump-putin-moscow-meeting-michael-cohen-tower?utm_term=.mmK4Zoam7#.ehz8p5ZaY — was ostensibly about efforts to construct a Trump-branded building in Moscow. Some of it, including the various escapades of George Papadopoulos .. https://www.vox.com/world/2017/10/30/16570826/george-papadopoulos-russia-trump-mueller .. and Carter Page .. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/11/7/16616912/carter-page-testimony-trump-russia , involved relatively peripheral players in Trumpworld, who didn’t have strong pre-campaign ties to Trump or play a post-campaign role in the administration.

But some of it was quite high-level and explicitly about the campaign. Donald Trump Jr., for example, took a meeting with the deputy governor of Russia’s central bank .. https://themoscowproject.org/collusion/trump-jr-meets-kremlin-linked-banker-nra-convention/ .. while attending the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Kentucky in May 2016. The meeting was arranged by a US conservative activist named Paul Erickson, who got in touch with senior Trump campaign aide Rick Dearborn to set it up .. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/03/us/politics/trump-putin-russia-nra-campaign.html , explicitly as a step toward creating back-channel communications between Russia and the campaign.

Russian commentators note, rightly, that “sooner or later, the Democrats will come back into power," and they’re already joking about offering Trump asylum.

Donald Trump and Edward Snowdon could get together.
