One problem of discussing NYT articles is that I would have to pay to see them. I am assuming he is talking about the Trump Jr. meeting. “Obvious Kremlin ties?” Anti-Trump characters are going to claim that any meetings with Russians are tantamount to meeting with Putin. Maybe the author has a better argument somewhere in the article, who knows.

He talks about "June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower between Kremlin-connected Russians and three representatives of Donald Trump's campaign" and concludes "clearest evidence that this was a Russian influence operation is the trail of bread crumbs the Kremlin seemed to have deliberately left leading from Trump Tower to the Kremlin. This operation was meant to be discovered." What was the purpose? "... an influence operation with one simple objective: to undermine the presidential election."

Seems the Russians and the DEMs and the Congress have the same objective.
