Given all the optics of the Trump (Manafort, Page etc) and Russia connection, this looks bad, especially given the context of Russia/overall election and Sessions involvement/prominent support of Trump. Agree with JR, there is substantial evidence, but nothing clear that it had a tangible impact.
However, if reports are true, that travel expenses for one of the meetings was paid by the campaign, then this warrants more investigation for sure.
p.s. did anyone see Page's interview last night? What a smug, weaselly little guy he appeared to be....
