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

[fleischr]

I figure Trump Jr. will get hit with a fine, and not much more.

It is a bad thing to have foreign nationals get involved with digging up dirt on political candidates. It has the appearance of something really rotten that no respectable person in politcal campaign should involve themselves with.

All the same - it still feels like really large stretch to just assume some D-list entertainer is the ultimate link between the Trump campaign and Russian efforts to influence the election. Not impossible - but as we know some people will say and do anything to get into the insider circle.
