Suppose further they sent a representative to "the Russians" to lobby for their release?
Oh, wait! On July 27, 2016 Donald Trump actually called on the Russians to do exactly that in a public statement which was widely disseminated along multiple news channels. He said, "“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” during a news conference.
This is not, and was not, a crime. What would be a crime would have been to allow the American people to go to the polls in November 2016 without having critical information about one of teh candidates.
This whole concoction is to deflect from the fact that the fake “Trump dossier” was used by the FBI to obtain Fisa warrants.
