Elise Jordan: I Wonder If Trump Wanted Hillary’s Emails and His Minions Were Trying to Fulfill That

EXCERPT:

JORDAN: "I think we need to look at the timeline of how all of this has unfolded and the timeline in the context of this election. So, this contact happened in June, early, before the convention. Then you look at how — at the convention, they ramped up, they changed the language. This was a concerted effort at the convention to tone down the language about Ukraine and arming Ukraine. Mike Flynn was setting up meetings with Kislyak at the RNC for these various campaign officials. All of this was starting. Donald Trump at the same time was saying very publicly, very loudly at a press conference, 'I want the Hillary Clinton missing e-mails. So I thought that president Trump was pretty detached from loudly at a press conference, I want the Hillary Clinton missing e-mails.' So I thought that President Trump was pretty detached from all of this, that he was just letting lieutenants run rogue. But I wonder if President Trump himself had made this a priority, that he wanted those e-mails and his minions were essentially trying to fulfill that request for him."
