I'm sure Brexit was also an online campagn. We need to get the evidence so the west can better protect itself.

Brexit’s biggest campaign donor is reportedly being investigated by the National Crime Agency (NCA) over alleged links to Russia.

The NCA was handed emails belonging to multimillionaire Arron Banks, co-founder of the Leave EU campaign, revealing previously undisclosed meetings between the businessman and the Russian ambassador in London, according to The Times.

I'm just waiting for the official word that ties Banks to Mercer money.

"The NCA has reportedly interviewed witnesses and is liaising with MI5 and US special counsel Robert Mueller, whose team is investigating alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election."

This is a pretty BIG deal.
