re: WSJ: GOP Operative Sought Clinton Emails From Hackers, Implied a Connection to Flynn

This part is confusing. The story doesn't confirm he had emails, only that he was seeking them, that he talked to hackers he thought were Russian who said they had emails and that he approached the British cybersecurity guy, Tait, to authenticate emails but he declined.

The entire story is a bunch of Insinuations, guesses, and maybes.


It appears as if they are just trying to establish that somebody from the Trump team was, indeed attempting to get e-mails from the Russians. I am guessing the point is to prove collusion with Russians, and hopefully, later on connect that collusion to the Russian government.

Seems like a mighty large stretch, since the guy never plainly said he was in contact with Flynn, but merely hinted at it in order to raise money. Honestly? I think the guy was trying to appear more connected than he really was by dropping names in an effort to raise money.
