Not at all.
Trump said "no one had any contact with Russia" - that was a lie, right?
Trump's son and campaign manager met with Russian officials at Trump Tower "about adoptions" ("to get dirt on Clinton").
But they knew the dirt Russia had was illegally obtained because Scavino tweeted that Russia had the e-mails back in May.
So they took the meeting at Trump Tower knowing Russia was in possession of e-mails illegally hacked.
Then in July, Trump asked Russia on live TV for help to find Clinton's e-mails.
That day, Russia launched their attack on Clinton's servers via spear-phishing.
Your contention is that when Trump asked Russia for help, he was joking.
Well not sure why you think that is, when the same day he asked Russia for help they launched their attack on Clinton's servers, and this is after he learned that Russia had already stolen 20,000 e-mails earlier.
