this seems to destroy the coordination narrative
if they're actively looking for these emails on "hacker forums", then they didn't have a direct connection to the alleged Russian hackers
Exactly. Also, this guy was 81 yrs old... Think about that. So they had an 81 yr old guy out there looking for the emails? This makes about as much sense as sending my grandma to find me some job offers in Denver off her Facebook.

there are multiple levels to the conspiracy theory
the worst is Trump (via agents) and Putin (via agents) coordinated to hack Podesta, the DNC, etc. this is how the "treason" narrative began and the implications of what the coordinated media/DEMs have been pushing
now, assuming this article is true, it seems that there is a definite separation of the (1) hacking and (2) possible acquisition by Americans (Trump's people or otherwise). that destroys the nexus in the coordination in the hack itself
also, this article implies that Russia, acting completely separate from Trump's campaign, hacked the information and Trump's campaign had to actively seek it out. that means that the nexus in the coordination of the acquisition is more tenuous
if the argument is "well it's an FEC violation if Russia gave this to Trump's campaign" is all that's left, then that's not much (and it likely won't even hold up because i'd imagine a non-state actor delivered the information to Trump's associates, killing that illegality)
