No........there's nothing to the Russian story. It actually makes the Clintons and the DNC look worse than Trump does the more you dig. So they never dig too far.

The implication of Trump Jr meeting with the Russian lawyer about Clinton dirt was that dirt about Clinton existed. Now in the past 2 days we learned it's actually about the DNC.

If you think you're coming over to buy cocaine but I sell you baking soda then you've still committed a crime. You can't whine that somebody else actually got cocaine and you should have too so you're not a criminal. You're just a stupid fucker who is stuck with baking soda looking like a loving idiot about it because that's the lamest kind of criminal. A lovely one. Still criminal though.

Meeting with the Russians is not treason. They weren't working against the interests of the United States. They were finding out about collusion between the other political party and Russia. What actual evidence of collusion do you have between the Trump campaign and Russia? None. Meanwhile the DNC during election '16 is looking shadier and shadier...

Where are you seeing the content of what Russia gave the Trump campaign? You're taking it as a fact that they gave Trump evidence of collusion between Russian and the DNC. What are you talking about? And don't just say, "It came out in the last few days." Or say, "But the Ukraine..." Be specific. Where are you seeing that Trump Jr met with the Russians to get info about the DNC and Russia colluding?

Like, I think MAYBE you're talking about the Ukraine stuff. But I have seen nothing that says that's what the Trump Jr meeting was about.

And "But if the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton, that means there was dirt about Hillary Clinton, and that it points to ties between Russia and Hillary" completely ignores that this info, if it existed, could have been linked to hacked emails.

There's nothing wrong with John McCain, he's hiding out in his den watching Matlock reruns. Doctors are going to find "complications" that keep him out longer than a week.
A bunch of senators didn't want to vote on the bill so they drew straws to see who would take one of the team so turtle would have to delay the vote.

So how can anyone claim that there was Russian favoritism towards Trump, if you admit that's the case. This game goes far deeper than political favoritism. They want to sow chaos and confusion.
