NYT : "Trump Jr. Was Told in Email of Russian Effort to Aid Campaign"

My favourite part about this whole ridiculous story is this:

"The woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Mrs. Clinton."

(Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/09/us/politics/trump-russia-kushner-manafort.html)

So there are two possibilities:

1. The informations that Veselnitskaya tried to offer to the Trump team were correct.
That would mean that russians did indeed try to influence the POTUS election - but unlike what's usually claimed, they did not support Trump, but Clinton! And Trump would not have won because of, but despite russian interference.

2. The informations that Veselnitskaya tried to offer to the Trump team were bullshit.
In that case, there are again two possibilities:

2a. Veselnitskaya was acting on behalf of the Kremlin
That would mean that the Kremlin intentionally tried to provide the Trump team with false informations. If the Trump team had believed and spread that information, believing it to shed a negative light on Clinton, that could have been easily debunked as being false informations - in which case the damage would be with Trump, not Clinton.

2b. Veselnitskaya was NOT acting on behalf of the Kremlin
That would mean that there was no link to the Kremlin in this story, and the whole story is ultimately just another "big nothing burger".

Sorry, they're gonna go with 666c Trump Jr being a dirty traitor for talking with this woman.
