Trump Campaign's Best Defense Against Accusations of Collusion Is Lack of Central Planning

So the narrative that George Papandapolous was unimportant, had no connections to anyone important, and was not an authorized member of the campaign is failing. He appears to have been present at a national security briefing with Trump himself in attendance.

On the other hand, the campaign was chaotic, and it sounds like any random idiot could get into national security meetings without a specific authorization, a trend that continued well into the White House, until COS Kelly put a kibosch on that. What this tells you is that

1. Trump's campaign was more incompetent in basic security matters than it was malicious and conspiring

and

2. Current apologists are trying way too hard. Trump's best defense is not the attempt to diminish the significance of GP, but actually the inherent flaws of his campaign.

There was mass miscommunication and disorganization, which we have seen with the rollout of the immigration EO early at the start of administration. The right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing. You can't have a properly masterminded collusion there. Rather, it sounds like a bunch of haphazard opportunistic contacts at various levels and for various reasons.
