I thought Rep. Lee brought light to the proceedings in that the US House has legislation that will put a burden on candidates and candidates campaigns involved with known enemies of the USA to report their involvement and information to the FBI. That is appalling to realize that law has not sailed through the US house with unanimous support but, also the US Senate. What are these people thinking?
So, it is time to read more.
I left off with this paragraph.
WikiLeaks began releasing Podesta' s stolen emails on October 7, 2016, less than one hour after a U.S. media outlet released video considered damaging to candidate Trump. Section II of this Report details the Office's investigation into the Russian hacking operations, as well as other efforts by Trump Campaign supporters to obtain Clinton-related emails.
The next section is this:
I make no guarantees about finishing anything on a timeline when it comes to this report.
RUSSIAN CONTACTS WITH THE CAMPAIGN
The social media campaign and the GRU hacking operations coincided with a series of contacts between Trump Campaign officials and individuals with ties to the Russian government. The Office investigated whether those contacts reflected or resulted in the Campaign conspiring or coordinating with Russia in its election-interference activities. Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.
So there were definitely contacts by Russians with the Trump Campaign. The Trump campaign is an organization within the sovereign authority of the USA. There are campaign laws that may or may not apply to the campaign depending on it's activities and status. In making that statement, it was the responsibility of the Trump Campaign and the Clinton Campaign to make an ordinary effort to avoid the foreign influence of a known enemy to the USA to their candidacy. It would seem as though that ordinary effort did not occur with the Trump Campaign.
...coincided with a series of contacts between Trump Campaign officials and individuals with ties to the Russian government....
Coincided is not avoiding. Coincided means the contract with Russian intelligence agents actively seeking influence in the 2016 elections, found it. The Trump Campaign looked the other way. That is cooperation. It is not solicited cooperation on behalf of the Trump Campaign, but, it was understood by the Russians they had Donald Trump in their back pocket.
He did not denounce the hacking by the Russians into the Clinton Campaign or the DCCC. He did not choose a campaign manager that was above reproach. He accepted the services of Paul Manafort without first asking if he should. There is a lot wrong here.
Paul Manafort is now in prison and facing a significant amount of time because he is corrupt and conducts his life and businesses that way. He came into the Trump Campaign with ambitions to use the power within the campaign to find profit for himself. That is a character issue that has to scream out loud and it did. The press brought forward Manafort's dealings with Russia. Even then Trump wasn't going to replace Paul Manafort. It was after a few days of public objection to Manafort that he was then relieved of his duties with the campaign.
We know today, that even after Trump's election and into his first administration Manafort was dealing with an individual that provided a great deal of money to him to become the Secretary of the Navy. That is not a broken timeline. Manafort was involved intimately with the Trump Campaign even after he left the position of Campaign Manager.
Trump's focus is troubling and outside the normal parameters Americans find moral in it's content for a USA president. Even today, the affiliations with the Trump Campaign is finding it's way into scandalous issues.

Former Trump deputy campaign manager David Bossie’s (click here) pro-Trump group has raised millions targeting elderly Republican voters. But it has spent just 3 percent of that money to promote Trump and Republican candidates, according to a report from the Campaign Legal Center, a campaign finance watchdog group.
The report shows that Bossie’s Presidential Coalition, a group that claims to promote President Trump and Republican candidates who support him, has raised $15.4 million over the last two years....
These problems that are a constant form of upheaval within the campaign and the Republican party are indicative to the lack of moral character within the Trump Campaign. This immoral character pervades Trump, his campaign and his revolving door administration. The Russians didn't happen to become interested in Trump because he looked the other way, the Russians knew he would.
Is it any wonder that the Special Counsel could not make a case for conspiracy after the extensive activities of the Russian IRA and GRU? Russia studied this country before it threw the election to Trump with sophisticated operations that attacked the American public. What good would all their time, efforts and money do them if Trump was indictable?
The Russian contacts consisted of business connections, offers of assistance to the Campaign, invitations for candidate Trump and Putin to meet in person, invitations for Campaign officials and representatives of the Russian government to meet, and policy positions seeking improved U.S.-Russian relations. Section IV of this Report details the contacts between Russia and the Trump Campaign during the campaign and transition periods, the most salient of which are summarized below in chronological order.
Looking ahead in the report there are pages of redacted material. There are major sections of pages redacted. How can Congress decide to impeach a president with so much information unavailable to them? It can't be done. Got that? Without the full unredacted report impeachment is OFF THE TABLE as Barr intended it to be. There is a lot of redaction in Volume 1. The Congress needs the facts, not tripwires.
2015. Some of the earliest contacts were made in connection with a Trump Organization real-estate project in Russia known as Trump Tower Moscow. Candidate Trump signed a Letter of intent for Trump Tower Moscow by November 2015, and in January 2016 Trump Organization executive Michael Cohen emailed and spoke about the project with the office of Russian government press secretary Dmitry Peskov. The Trump Organization pursued the project through at least June 2016, including by considering travel to Russia by Cohen and candidate Trump.
Why did he run for president?
Peskov is a top aide to Putin. (click here) He has been the one Russian denying contact between Russia and Trump. He is a liar. Maybe he likes Trump because he is as good a liar as Peskov.There is a picture of Bubba and his wife.

The wife (click here) of President's Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, Olympic champion Tatyana Navka, turns out to have an overseas account. This is reported by Dozhd referring to the Dosye (‘Dossier’) project. It was opened on February 20, 2014, i.e. before the registration of marriage with Peskov. It is still open.
Having decided to check this, the investigators made a test transfer in the amount of 5 euros, and the system recognized the international number (IBAN) of the account and tied it to the name Navka Tatiana.
“If there had been some problems with the transaction, the money would not have been transferred. We called the bank to learn the payment's status, and they confirmed to us that the money had been received by the receiving bank,” the project representatives told Dozhd....
So, in Russia, a man educated enough can become an oligarch and his wife a money launderer. This is the company that Donald Trump keeps. It is needless to say these Bubbas have a high demand for LOYALTY. Oh, she has her own money? Really? In what rubles? No. Her overseas account is in solid USA dollars. That is called money laundering. The question is, who helped her? Deutsche Bank and their money pass through policy? Capital One and it's ruble exchange policy?
Today, Dmitry Peskov is in the media stating the reason Iran changed it's mind about certain segments of the Iran Deal because the USA caused it because of the decisions of Trump. The fact that Russia's position on this is probably not exclusive to Russia provides a very poor platform for Trump to huff and puff at Iran.

The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Iran had been provoked into rolling back some of the terms of a 2015 nuclear deal due to external pressure which it blamed on the United States.
Iran said earlier on Wednesday it had started scaling back parts of its commitments under the deal and threatened to do more if world powers did not protect it from U.S. sanctions, a year after Washington pulled out of the pact.
“President Putin has repeatedly spoken of the consequences of unthought-out steps regarding Iran and by that I mean the decision taken by Washington (to quit the deal). Now we are seeing those consequences are starting to happen,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call.
Peskov was speaking as talks in Moscow between Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov got underway....
No more P5 plus one. Now, it is exclusive talks between the child slayer in Syria and Iran. Russia the country that allows Assad to burn the lungs of children in Syria with chlorine gas.
This is Trump's new world order. Ah, but, I digress.
