Greenwald: Trump Jr.’s Emails Not a ‘Smoking Gun’; Dems Keep ‘Moving Goal Posts’

‘I don’t think that this revelation, interesting though it may be, is as significant or a smoking gun when it comes to the impeachment or the prosecution case’

EXCERPT:

GREENWALD: "Remember, this is not evidence suggesting that Trump officials actually colluded with the Russians to commit a crime — the hacking. Now, what the Democrats are saying is that the Trump Administration and their defenders in the media at Fox News and the like are, quote-unquote, 'moving the goal posts' by saying, 'Well, this only shows that Trump Jr. was willing to get information from the Russian government about Clinton, but it doesn’t show there was actual criminal collusion.' To me, it seems as though the people who are moving the goal posts are the Democrats. The claim all along, the reason why there’s talk of impeachment, the reason why there is a special prosecutor, the reason why people want to see Trump and his associates criminally prosecuted, is because of the claim that they committed crimes by colluding with the Russians with regard to the hacking. That’s what Harry Reid has always said. That’s what John Podesta has always said. That has always been the Democratic claim. This newest evidence doesn’t in any way suggest that."
