Brit Hume wants to know why the story about Trump Jr. getting duped by a Russian woman who claimed she had dirt on Hillary is getting scandalous coverage when he says it’s “much ado about not much”:
Hume says there is no evidence of collusion with Russia anywhere in this story, yet the story is getting widespread coverage all over the MSM.
Hume also hits back at the argument that this woman has ‘ties’ to the Kremlin:
I would feel differently about this if, first of all, the connections of this woman, this lawyer in Russia, apparently a prominent lawyer representing some large interests over there – she’s said to have connections to the Kremlin.
Well it’s pretty hard to represent large interests, in a nation where many large interests are owned by the state, without having some alleged ties to the Russian government.
There’s no indication here that she was acting as some sort of espionage agent or political agent on behalf of Vladimir Putin or the Kremlin.
Hume said this meeting appears to simply have been an attempt by someone to make some headway with the Trump campaign on the issue of adoption, which he believes hardly suggests improper behavior on her part or the Trump campaign’s part.
