... Trump is complicit in some way with the conspiracy or something similar?

30/ The indictment says the second major Russian attack on Clinton occurred less than a week after Papadopoulos told Trump he was acting as a Russian intermediary andper accounts of those at the meetingTrump was engaged and interested. It appears that after the second attack...
I'm thinking if Trump ... KNEW ... about what was happening with the Russians and went along with it even if he didn't conspire himself then he's still LEGALLY part of the crime.
Thx in advance for any input

I'm thinking if we get to the whole truth on this incident, Trump himself will likely have coordinated it directly with Putin. He is known in every other aspect of his business as being a micro-manager. Why would he be different for this one thing that was so important?

It is pretty neat that this comes the day AFTER that stunt hearing yesterday. Nobody's gonna be talking about that anymore, now that THIS has happened. This is gonna dominate the discourse now. THIS wipes yesterday's uproar off the top of the headlines.
NOW, we watch. What kind of distraction is trump going to try to deflect attention from this? Or muddy the waters here? Or try to confuse the issue?
