I do think it's weird that the lawyer lied/misled about it, and would like


to know more on that.

However, it wouldn't surprise me if in "normal" campaigns, the organizational and communications structures around some of the shadier work (such as oppo research could be, even if legal) are very purposefully set up to limit exposure and provide plausible deniability for bigger players/names in the campaign.

I have no doubt that *someone* in the campaign knew, but it wouldn't surprise me if the info on the memos (later compiled into the dossier) was kept within a tight circle and would only have been shared with Clinton and/or higher-level staffers if any of it could have been corroborated.

Pure speculation on my part. If Clinton and her staff who have been directly questioned about it DID know about it and have lied/are lying, then screw 'em and go after 'em, because they're either (1) too stupid to lie about something legal that they don't need to lie about, or (2) there is something shady about it and let's find out what it is.
