With the idea of Russia-Trump collusion somehow still dominating the news cycle I thought it would be a great idea to look back some very interesting emails that were revealed in the Podesta email dump.

Subject: Ambassador Cui Requesting JDP Meeting
Hello John, Ambassador Cui is requesting a meeting with you. Passing on the inquiry below from his team. Haven’t bugged them for more detail about what he hopes to discuss, would be happy to do so if that’s helpful. Copying Milia. If you do take the meeting it would be great to mention how much we appreciated his embassy’s assistance reaching out to Beijing offices for our CAP trips in March and June of this year. Hope all is well on your other project.

Dear Melanie, Ambassador Cui Tiankai would like to have a meeting with Mr. Podesta at his earliest convenience. We don’t know if he has a scheduler now, so could you please help us convey this meeting request? Amb. Cui would like to talk about the China-U.S. relations and other issues of mutual interest. Thank you and we look forward to your kind reply.
Best, Liang

If you swaped Podestas name with Trump or one of his associates and made China Russia the mainstream media and Democrats would have already set there hair on fire claiming collusion.
