Suppose the allegations are true? What if Page met with Russian officials who are loyal to Putin. So what? Why wouldn't  Russian officials bring up "sanctions" and the possibility of them being ended. Sanctions relief is in Russia's best interest. Russia would naturally want a president who is not hostile.  But it is a stretch to conclude that Trump agreed to end sanctions in exchange for ??? what?  Money? Help being elected? Dirt on Hillary? Russia allegedly created advertising favoring Trump. Was it false? Is Hillary's dirty background worth knowing about? The bottom line is Hillary has herself to blame, not Russia. She is a corrupt, flawed candidate and voters rejected her. I have yet to learn what Russia did, that was false, that swayed the election?  Has Trump ended Russia's sanctions?
