'Concrete evidence of collusion between Trump team and Russia' handed to official investigation

'Concrete evidence of collusion between Trump team and Russia' handed to official investigation
New evidence comes as sources reveal British spy agency GCHQ played pivotal role in uncovering interactions between US President and Russian operatives


The official investigation into relations between Donald Trump and Russia now has "specific, concrete and corroborative evidence of collusion", it has been reported.

New evidence proves discussions took place “between people in the Trump campaign and agents of (Russian) influence relating to the use of hacked material,” a source allegedly told the Guardian.

The developments come as it has emerged that Britain’s spy agencies were among the first to alert their American counterparts to contact between members of Mr Trump’s campaign team and Russian intelligence operatives.

............

This intelligence was passed to the US as part of a routine exchange of information under the "Five Eyes“ agreement, which calls for open sharing of certain types of information among member nations the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

that video of his "golden showers" was out there?

When we actually see videos, photographs, printouts of bank deposits, and so on, then I'll believe this.

“It looks like the [US] agencies were asleep,” a source told the Guardian. “They <the European agencies> were saying: ‘There are contacts going on between people close to Mr Trump and people we believe are Russian intelligence agents. You should be wary of this.’

“The message was: ‘Watch out. There’s something not right here.’”

... "Trump is good for business."

That's why they all looked the other way.

The media ignored the story because they made too much effing money during the whole campaign and election. The business people were making the decisions that should have been made by the editorial staff because of profits. It was completely obvious that Trump was a terrible candidate and would be an even worse President, but they all refused to expose him.

TV, newspapers, radio, even internet news outlets were all guilty of looking the other way.
