July 2016 was a fun month for the GOP. It was the month Carter Page flew to Moscow and met with all sorts of industry leaders, government officials, and probably intelligence operatives. It's the month the official Republican platform omitted any mention of support for Ukraine against Russian invasion. It's when Wikileaks started leaking DNC e-mails. It's when Donald Trump himself begged Russia on live TV to hack Hillary's "missing" e-mails.
