Trump’s Pattern: Discredit Everyone Else
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/04/opinion/trump-flynn-fbi.html

Trump's lawyers are laying the groundwork for a brazen new legal strategy in the Russia probe
President Donald Trump's defense team is arguing that Trump cannot be charged with collusion or obstruction of justice — the central threads of the special counsel's Russia investigation.
Two of Trump's key defense lawyers, John Dowd and Jay Sekulow, have said in recent days that collusion is not a crime and that Trump as president cannot be guilty of obstruction.
Legal experts have pushed back on the claims, saying that Trump's lawyers are ignoring the crux of the obstruction case and that he could be found guilty of crimes resulting from collusion.

Russia investigators probe 2016 GOP platform fight
Congressional investigators have interviewed ex-Donald Trump aides about the campaign’s push to remove proposed language that called for giving weapons to Ukraine.
11/08/2017
[Insert excerpt
Manafort, who remains under active investigation in the broader collusion probes, also sent an email days before the platform debate to a longtime aide with ties to Russian intelligence, offering private briefings about the campaign to a top Vladimir Putin associate and Russian oligarch he owed millions of dollars. The month before, Manafort, Donald Trump Jr. and Trump senior adviser Jared Kushner met at Trump Tower with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer who had promised dirt on Hillary Clinton.
Investigators are focusing, in part, on whether those activities were part of any choreographed effort by the campaign to forge closer ties to Russia or to exchange promises — such as dropping U.S. sanctions, if elected — in return for help defeating Clinton. Lawmakers continue to ask about the 2016 platform fight as part of that probe, and Page, a campaign foreign policy adviser, faced questions on the subject when he appeared before House investigators last week.
