Wikileaks then disseminated the stolen emails at the direction of its founder, Julian Assange, who was in contact with Trump\u2019s long-time confidant Roger Stone. One key question in the Trump-Russia story has always been whether Stone communicated directly with Trump about Wikileaks\u2019 planned dissemination of those emails. In response to special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s written questions on that subject, Trump answered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>\u201cI do not recall discussing WikiLeaks with [Stone], nor do I recall being aware of Mr. Stone having discussed WikiLeaks with individuals associated with my campaign.\u201d Trump further claimed that he had \u201cno recollection of the specifics of any conversations I had with Mr. Stone between June 1, 2016 and November 8, 2016.\u201d (Report, p. 245)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Relying on detailed records and testimony, the Senate Intelligence Committee didn\u2019t buy it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>\u201cDespite Trump\u2019s recollection, the Committee assesses that Trump did, in fact, speak with Stone about WikiLeaks and with members of his Campaign about Stone\u2019s access to WikiLeaks on multiple occasions.\u201d (Report, p. 245)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In November 2019, Stone was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/public-safety\/roger-stone-jury-weighs-evidence-and-a-defense-move-to-make-case-about-mueller\/2019\/11\/15\/554fff5a-06ff-11ea-8292-c46ee8cb3dce_story.html\">convicted<\/a>&nbsp;of lying to Congress in connection with the Trump-Russia investigation, but Trump commuted his sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#3: During Trump\u2019s Impeachment, Congressional Republicans Knew the Truth and Didn\u2019t Care<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In December 2019, the House of Representatives impeached Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. He was accused of withholding crucial military aid from Ukraine as it defended its struggling democracy against Putin\u2019s attacks. In exchange for aid that Congress had already appropriated and that the Defense Department had approved, Trump wanted Ukraine\u2019s newly elected president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to pursue investigations into former Vice President Joseph Biden\u2019s son, Hunter, and into the false conspiracy theory \u2014 promoted by Russia \u2014 that Ukraine, rather than Russia, had interfered in the 2016 US presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this episode, the chain of influence seeking to shift blame for Russian election interference went from Putin all the way to congressional Republicans and others defending Trump:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Putin\u2192Trump\u2192<em>GOP<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Republican members of the Senate Intelligence Committee sat through Trump\u2019s impeachment proceedings, they heard evidence that had a familiar ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They knew that when Trump had asked Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky to pursue groundless claims that Ukraine \u2014 rather than Russia \u2014 had meddled in the 2016 US election, Trump was promoting Russian propaganda that Putin, Deripaska, Kilimnik, and Manafort had pushed into public discourse years earlier:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>\u201cFrom late 2016 until at least January 2020,\u201d one of Russia\u2019s foreign political influence operations \u201csought to discredit investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 US elections and spread false information about the events of 2016.\u201d (Report, p. 106)<\/li><li>\u201cManafort, Kilimnik, Deripaska, and others associated with Deripaska participated in these influence operations. As part of these efforts, Manafort and Kilimnik both sought to promote the narrative that Ukraine, not Russia, had interfered in the 2016 US election.\u201d (Report, p. 106)<\/li><li>\u201cThese influence efforts took place in the larger context of existing Russian information operations targeting Ukraine and the United States.\u201d (Report, p. 107)<\/li><li>\u201cManafort embraced and promoted the narrative of Ukraine\u2019s alleged involvement in the 2016 elections. For example, in a February 2017 meeting with Donald Trump Jr., Manafort discussed how Ukraine, not Russia had meddled in the election.\u201d (Report, p. 112)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As Trump\u2019s impeachment proceeded, Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee knew that their congressional colleagues and Trump\u2019s lawyers were parroting that Russian propaganda in the House hearings and at the Senate trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They knew that the Ukraine scandal of 2020 was a sequel to the 2016 election interference story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They knew what Trump had done, knowingly, in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They knew that this time he was abusing the awesome powers of the presidency. Trump had put the&nbsp;<em>quid pro quo&nbsp;<\/em>bluntly: \u201cI\u2019d like you to do us a favor though\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they voted to acquit him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#4: The Cover-up Continues<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final chain of influence is still running \u2014 from Putin through Trump and Senate Republicans to the general public:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Putin\u2192Trump\u2192<em>GOP\u2192<\/em>American voters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was already plenty of other news dominating the media when, on the second day of the Democratic National Convention, the Senate Intelligence Committee released its 940-page volume of findings. With the ongoing convention, pandemic, post office crisis, economic recession, and widespread racial unrest, the Report did not receive the wide and deep coverage that it deserved. Within hours, a handful of the Committee\u2019s findings became brief filler material for cable news programs. Within days, the story was hardly mentioned at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Republicans were hoping that no one would read the Report. Now Trump and his minions have a week of Republican National Convention coverage to keep the truth buried as they reassert Trump\u2019s Big Lie that the whole Trump-Russia investigation was a \u201choax.\u201d It wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among other things, the Senate Intelligence Committee found, just as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/storage\/report.pdf\">special counsel Robert Mueller had<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>\u201cThe Committee found that the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multi-faceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.\u201d (Report, p. v)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It found that Putin wanted Trump to win and worked to achieve that objective. It found that Manafort was a \u201cgrave intelligence threat.\u201d It found that despite Trump\u2019s claimed lack of recollection in sworn answers to Mueller, he had communicated with Roger Stone about Wikileaks document dumps targeting Hillary Clinton during the campaign. It found voluminous evidence of other episodes that together painted a damning picture of Trump-Russia cooperation during the 2016 campaign. And it described the obstacles that Trump and his defenders erected in obtaining additional evidence that the Committee sought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But according to the \u201cAdditional Views\u201d of five Democrats on the Committee, the Report did not seek \u201cto draw overarching conclusions about its investigation, opting instead to let the reader determine the significance of these events.\u201d (Report, p. 943) Perhaps that approach facilitated near unanimity among the Committee members, all but one of whom voted in favor of the Report. But it created an opening for all Republicans to distort it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only Sen. Jim Risch (R-ID)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.risch.senate.gov\/public\/index.cfm\/2020\/8\/risch-on-final-volume-of-senate-intelligence-committee-s-russia-investigation\">voted&nbsp;against<\/a>&nbsp;the Report.

Marco Rubio (R-FL), Roy Blunt (R-MO), Tom Cotton (R-AK), John Cornyn (R-TX), and Ben Sasse (R-NE) \u2014 in appending a set of GOP talking points under the guise of \u201cAdditional Views.\u201d&nbsp;Those talking points are at odds with the&nbsp;<em>facts&nbsp;<\/em>in the Report itself. The six Republican senators opened with this line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u201c[T]he Committee found no evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russian government in its efforts to meddle in the election\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they closed with this refrain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u201cAfter more than three years of investigation by this Committee, we can now say with no doubt, there was no collusion.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>(Emphasis in original) (Report, pp. 941-942)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They know better.

Some Kremlin-linked actors are also seeking to boost President Trump\u2019s candidacy on social media and Russian television.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senate Republicans know that Trump himself has declared publicly his desire for any assistance he can get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have known all of this while repeatedly blocking the implementation of a key recommendation in the Senate Intelligence Committee\u2019s Report that would send every campaign a simple message: If you see something, say something.

If Trump and Republicans have their way, Trump\u2019s ongoing chaos will smother the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That can\u2019t happen.
