Collusion -bombshell coming

https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/04/15/source-claims-concrete-evidence-of-collusion-between-trump-russia/22041057/
<snip>
U.S. investigators have "concrete" evidence of collusion between Trump associates and Russia, according to a recent report by The Guardian.

"They now have specific concrete and corroborative evidence of collusion," an unnamed source claims in the report. "This is between people in the Trump campaign and agents of [Russian] influence relating to the use of hacked material."

I keep hearing about all this damning evidence, but I don't see Trump in jail yet, so I'm not going to get excited until he's behind bars.

together to get Trump to win it would have emerged by now.

Perhaps Putin expected Hillary to win just like all the experts and was involved in the hack of the DNC email to weaken Hillary once she became President. If so he didn't succeed but all the circumstantial evidence revealed so far has weakened the Trump Presidency.

We need to get this mess resolved sooner rather than later one way or the other. This is not a good time to have either a Putin puppet as our President or a seriously weakened President in the Oval Office.

I doubt we will see any warrants ever issued. Trump have been ducking government agencies all over the world for 50yr.

To me he is just a 70yr old shooting the moon for fun and profit.

Nor do we have sanctions against those countries. Still, anyone other than the Commander in Chief conducting is against the law.

...report the other night.

The end phrase, "relating to hacked material" kind of narrows it down in an obscure way.

What I want to see is the collusion that relates to money laundering, payoffs in exchange for influencing the Repug platform about Ukraine. Things like that.
