"SNIP..........
Steins name was included in a Senate Judiciary Committee letter requesting all communication between President Trumps son Donald Trump Jr. and a number of others, including Russian officials and other members of Trumps presidential campaign.
Stein ran for president as the Green Party candidate in 2016. A Green Party spokesman called the inclusion of her name vengeance against Dr. Stein for running as a third-party candidate for the White House.
The Senate panel wants documents relating to a recently revealed meeting between Trump Jr. and a Russian attorney, among others. Former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner were also at the meeting.
But investigators seem to be casting a wider net by asking Trump Jr. for all communication to, from or copied to you relating to a long list of individuals that include Stein.
Stein called the request laughable in a tweet this week.

(34,661 posts)who are in the know will spill the beans. Questions to be answered should include,where and what happened to the millions that were donated to your recount in Wisconsin. Oh BTW,what was the results of that recount,how many votes were switched or dumped.

(6,916 posts)Everyone who would know in US Government now says it is an incontrovertible fact that Russia intervened in our 2016 election. The FBI issued a statement, for god's sake.
Our allies in Europe agree. Clapper and Hayden just yesterday took it as received wisdom.
At this point, the only people who deny that Russia attacked our election:
Trump
Putin
Jill Stein
It's close to a smoking gun. She knows. I worry she is complicit. We will see.

(16,863 posts)I'm sincerely curious to know why she was included on that list. I have my CT's but I'll wait for the official report. No matter whether she was a pawn or an active part of the whole thing, I seriously doubt he inclusion in this investigation is either laughable or coincidental.

(6,916 posts)Stein denied Russia intervened in the 2016 election.
That's a huge tell. The FBI says Russia did it. If you deny it now, you are likely to be complicit.
That denial coupled with this investigation means she might well be complicit.
