A new report shows that the "Russian hack" meme is fake news.

From the Fox article:

"According to the Post, Papadopoulos sent at least six requests for Trump or team members to meet with Russian officials. But Manafort, who had his home raided by the FBI last month, allegedly rejected in May 2016 a proposal from the adviser to have Trump partake in the meetings.

In response to the requests, Manafort allegedly forwarded the email to an associate, with a note: "We need someone to communicate that DT is not doing these trips.”

"Mr. Manafort’s swift action reflects the attitude of the campaign – any invitation by Russia, directly or indirectly, would be rejected outright,” Jason Maloni, Manafort’s spokesman, said. "His request that the response come from a low level staffer sent a clear signal that the invitation did not merit consideration. This is concrete evidence the Russia collusion narrative is fake news."
"

end excerpt.

This should be the end of it - but it probably won't. Mueller needs scalps and the Democrats needd votes.
