Well this is weird as heck.
According to that sourcelink, the Senate Intel Committee is looping crazy Green Party candidate Jill Stein into the Russia probe. They’re straight up asking her to turn over documents.
Dennis Trainor Jr., who worked for the Stein campaign from January to August of 2015, says Stein contacted him on Friday saying the Senate Intelligence Committee had requested that the campaign comply with a document search.
Trainor, who served as the campaign’s communications director and acting manager during that time, told BuzzFeed News that he was informed of the committee’s request because during his time on the campaign, his personal cell phone was “a primary point of contact” for those looking to reach Stein or the campaign. That included producers from RT News, the Russian state-funded media company, who booked Stein for several appearances, Trainor said.
“Then I was told by Jill just to wait for further instructions,” Trainor said, adding that he was told the campaign would contact him in the next week with instructions, presumably from the Senate Intelligence Committee, for executing the document search, including precise search terms. That has not happened yet, Trainor said.
In other words, they’re looking for possible collusion with Russia. (What a time to be alive, right?)
Trainor said Stein plans to comply with the Senate Intel Committee’s requests.
