As with so much else involving the Trump-Russia connection, one is compelled to ask: What?!?! A former senior intelligence official remarked to me, “This cannot possibly get more weird … right?” Umm, I wouldn’t be too sure.

I asked former CIA officer and independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin in a telephone interview Monday night about his reaction to the purported back channel. “It raises more questions as to why a transition team with so many documented connections to Russia would require another one — a secret one,” he said.

Yeah, like, the first question it raised should be "is this story actually true?"

Maybe the reason it's getting "weird" is there is such a lack of substance that people are pulling weird stuff out of the woodwork.

For this to truly be deserving of major-story status, there would have needed to be a showing of active collusion between Trump and the Russians, and there doesn't appear to be a shred of evidence supporting that.  So they're stuck trying to drag this story out in the hopes that alone will weaken Trump.
