Rep. Nadler: The Russians Were Clearly Trying to Help the Trump Campaign

RUSH EXCERPT:

NADLER: "Well, that tweet has a number of statements that are clearly not true or unknowable. Yes, the Russian campaign started in 2014 but we know from the indictment that although they started out just to sow confusion, by the beginning of 2016 they were clearly telling their people we want to help trump and hurt Hillary Clinton. So they were clearly trying to help the Trump campaign for most of 2016. Whether the Trump campaign was colluding with them is not dealt with in the indictment at all, so it doesn’t say yes or no, although we know from other sources that certainly there were people in the trump campaign like Manafort and Trump Jr. And Jared Kushner who attended a meeting with the Russians, who told them that we have dirt on Hillary Clinton and the Russian government wants to give it to you to help your campaign and they said, fine, let’s take it. Whether the president knew about that, we don’t know. Whether all this affected the outcome of the election is simply not knowable one way or the other."
