The Trump-Russia Scandal continues to grow, drip by drip. The size and scope of the scandal is becoming more clear, and involves more than Trump, it's involving a large portion of the Republican Party itself.
The Wall St Journal article reports the consultant asked Guccifer 2.0 to send stolen documents to him, which he received, and posted some of it anonymously on his blog.
"The reason why the Republican Party won’t conduct an independent investigation into Trump is that they all benefitted and potentially colluded with the Russians in the effort."

I never thought I would see the day where Americans didnt care about stuff like this.
That guccifer was sentenced to prison in Romania and extradited to the US where he currently sits in jail.
Apparently there is a guccifer 2.0(?) who our intelligence agencies apparently can't find, yet this Nevins guy is claiming to have many conversations with him, along with posting info from him on his blogs? If true, why have our intelligence agencies just sitting on their thumbs?
This would align with Trey Gowdy's strong defense of Comey a week or so ago, wherein he said on FOX - actually shouted - that the Justice Dept. was compromised - and that Comey had no choice but to go public the way he did - which, in hindsight, tipped the election. Apparently, both Comey and he fell for the false propaganda.
How is this any different than the Times printing leaks or Maddow posting stolen tax documents?
What's different is it establishes there was a line of communication between a GOP consultant, a Russian hacker, and stolen data during the election. If Guccifer 2.0 was handing out stolen data to a relatively low-level player in the GOP, who else did he give stolen data?
This is significant because it's the first hint of collusion during the election. It seems nearly every day another little piece of the puzzle falls into place.
Florida GOP operative asked alleged Russian hacker for documents to hurt Democrats
From the Wall Street Journal:
The hacking spree that upended the presidential election wasn’t limited to Democratic National Committee memos and Clinton-aide emails posted on websites. The hacker also privately sent Democratic voter-turnout analyses to a Republican political operative in Florida named Aaron Nevins.
Learning that hacker “Guccifer 2.0” had tapped into a Democratic committee that helps House candidates, Mr. Nevins wrote to the hacker to say: “Feel free to send any Florida based information.”
Ten days later, Mr. Nevins received 2.5 gigabytes of Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee documents, some of which he posted on a blog called HelloFLA.com that he ran using a pseudonym.
Soon after, the hacker sent a link to the blog article to Roger Stone, a longtime informal adviser to then-candidate Donald Trump, along with Mr. Nevins’ analysis of the hacked data.
Mr. Nevins confirmed his exchanges after The Wall Street Journal identified him first as the operator of the HelloFLA blog and then as the recipient of the stolen DCCC data. The Journal also reviewed copies of exchanges between the hacker and Mr. Nevins. That the obscure blog had received hacked Democratic documents was previously known, but not the extent of the trove or the blogger’s identity.
tl;dr: Random GOP guy (not a politician or really, anything) exchanges emails with Russian hacker to try to expose DNC, then put some stuff on his blog. Then he sent a link to the blog article to Roger Stone, a Trump informal adviser. And....that's it.
I see the WSJ saying Nevins admits it, I don't Nevins saying he admits it.
