FBI probing whether Trump aides helped Russian intel in early 2016



CBS News has learned that U.S. investigators are looking into whether Trump campaign representatives had a role in helping Russian intelligence as it carried out cyberattacks on the Democratic National Committee and other political targets in March 2016.

This new information suggests that the FBI is going back further than originally reported to determine the extent of possible coordination. Sources say investigators are probing whether an individual or individuals connected to the campaign intentionally or unwittingly helped the Russians breach Democratic Party targets.

In March 2016, both Mr. Trump and Hillary Clinton had emerged as their parties’ most likely nominees.

What we know in the FBI probe of Trump campaign’s Russia ties

According to a declassified intelligence assessment, it was in March when Russian hackers “began cyber operations aimed at the U.S. election.” In May, U.S. officials say the Russians had stolen “large volumes of data from the DNC.”

Starting in June, websites like Guccifer 2.0 and WikiLeaks began posting the hacked documents.

In August, Trump confidant Roger Stone tweeted about Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

“Trust me, it will soon the Podesta’s time in the barrel,” Stone tweeted.

Then on Oct 7, WikiLeaks began publishing Podesta’s personal emails. It was the same day the Department of Homeland Security and director of national intelligence publicly accused Russia of carrying out the cyberattacks.

Now, one year after the Russian operation began, sources say the FBI’s investigation is nowhere near over. It involves dozens of agents in Washington, New York and London. The NSA and CIA are also gathering intelligence from inside Russia.

4. They were hacked into the DNC at least by Sept. 2015...

With the possibility of DNC moles, and trump et. al., who knows what the FBI will come up with.

7. Mark my words, this will turn into Trump campaign hiring Russians to hack the Dems.

Watch what develops, moving from Russia did it to collusion to instigation. Occam's razor says it was the Republicans. Manafort had the business already set up to handle overthrowing the government in Ukraine and influencing American politics. What has taken so long is to get evidence on the big boss, Trump himself.
