If Trump’s team was colluding with Russia, why’d it keep asking WikiLeaks for things?
...if Trump Jr. were intimately familiar with Russia’s interference efforts, he’d probably have had a very good idea of what the early October WikiLeaks release would deal with. There’s no indication that he did....
The only public evidence is that Trump’s allies wanted to know what WikiLeaks had and when it was coming — not that they were aware of what was in the works or helped guide it.
