The story you are quoting talks about how at the time when wikileaks was going to publish the john podesta email archive, he received another message about more financial information relating to hillary clinton campaign. The story appears to conflate the receiving of this message about financial documents with the prior public release of john podesta emails, using the Meuller report as evidence that this must be a hoax. I don't buy it. The email trove came before it and IMO is unrelated. We may never know, but this is not evidence.
