[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Happy to be corrected as I don't have any skin in this game, but it's evidence of a single private citizen with tenuous ties to the Russian gov soliciting a meeting and not circumstantial evidence of systemic collaboration. The desired narrative that the Russian gov won the election for Trump (otherwise it would've went to Hillary) has defined media coverage non-stop since November like it's Watergate 2.0. Facts and hard evidence should be defining the stories and narrative and right now it's just the opposite, a fishing expedition for page views. Comey hearings were a complete blowout (and if anything made the media look worse than before) and this is the closest they've gotten, so I won't froth at the mouth like some of you just yet.[/quote]
Let me correct you then.  It's not "a single private citizen with tenuous ties," but rather a specific offer and acceptance of information from the Russian government for the Trump campaign.  Relevant parts of the emails are below.  
[quote]GOLDSTONE: "Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting. [u]The Crown prosecutor of Russia[/u] met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting [u]offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents[/u] and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father. This is obviously [u]very high level and sensitive information[/u] but is [u]part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump[/u]—helped along by Aras and Emin.

TRUMP: "... if it’s what you say [u]I love it[/u] especially later in the summer."

+1. I'm a single private citizen.  Thee 3 stooges were the CAMPAIGN MANAGER and 2 family members, serving as senior advisors.  Nt the same thing.  Or in the same universe.  
GLDSTONE: "Emin asked that I schedule a meeting with you and [u]The Russian government attorney who is flying over from Moscow[/u] for this Thursday."[/quote]
