Hoisted on their own petard?

It is indeed ironic that the Trump team is now being questioned about damaging emails to Don Trump, Jr.

After Trump Sr stood in front of his adoring crowds and warned that if Russia or anyone else had Hillary emails, they should release them. They would be amply rewarded, he promised.

Now, after they got so much political mileage from the Wikileaks email, they are now getting repaid with much-deserved karma?
