Flashback to the Stephanopolous/Trump interview earlier this year.

When George asked him if he would accept information from foreign sources that might help him in his next election, Trump sort of brushed it off by saying, he saw "nothing wrong with talking to them"?

But the fact of the matter was that Giuliani was doing that very thing in Ukraine as Trump was trying to legitimize it. He knew then he was going to take foreign help if he could get it.

We should have known then, that he was up to no good.

Stephanopolous acted surprised that Trump said he would "listen" to what info foreigners might have? We now know he was willing to go much further.

We may not have known the specifics of his dirty deeds, but that there were dirty deeds afoot was a given.

I always remember this part of that interview (start at 5:38) where he talks about twitter.

He KNOWS every time he sends out a tweet every damn news organization talks about it. This is his game. he is excellent at it. And unfortunately he's right. Every damn news outlet shouts BREAKING NEWS every time twitler tweets.
