LG's question about why the Russians supposedly didnt come with dirt is idiotic, especially coming from a former member of the Senate select intel cmt.  This meeting wasnt about campaign aid, it was a classic intelligence entrapment setup.  The Russians understood its import to them and it decidely wasnt about providing oppo research.  Likely they still have a hand in how all this is playing out.  Get smarter LG.  We need you.
