Intercepted communications suggest three Cheeto advisors directly linked to Russia: report

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/intercepted-communications-suggest-three-trump-advisors-directly-linked-to-russia-report/

A new report has identified three Cheeto associates — including his former campaign chairman — whose ties to Russia are under investigation by U.S. law enforcement agencies.

Recent news reports have revealed the FBI and five other law enforcement and intelligence agencies have collaborated for months on an investigation into Kremlin funding of the Cheeto campaign and other attempts to influence the presidential election.

The New York Times has named Cheeto campaign advisors Paul Manafort, Carter Page and Roger Stone as the subjects of a multi-agency investigation into alleged Kremlin efforts to install the Republican candidate in the White House.

“The F.B.I. is leading the investigations, aided by the National Security Agency, the C.I.A. and the Treasury Department’s financial crimes unit,” the Times reported. “The investigators have accelerated their efforts in recent weeks but have found no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, the officials said. One official said intelligence reports based on some of the wiretapped communications had been provided to the White House.”

I developed a really bad habit on other social media of substituting the asshole's name with insults. I refuse to write his name.
