    I should begin by saying to the minions, don't bother. Your cult leader says it's all a hoax.

    Was There a Connection Between a Russian Bank and the Trump Campaign?

    https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/...between-a-russian-bank-and-the-trump-campaign

    One of the more curious aspects of the story is..............

    *For some, the most baffling part of the puzzle was the way that the lookups stopped. The Trump domain vanished from the Web on the morning of Friday, September 23rd, two days after the Times presented its data to B.G.R., Alfa Bank’s lobbyists in Washington, but before it called Trump or Cendyn. In Max’s view, this was evidence of direct contact between Alfa Bank and Trump. One researcher whom Foer interviewed put it vividly: “The knee was hit in Moscow, the leg kicked in New York.” There is, however, at least one possibility that doesn’t involve Moscow: the lobbyists in Washington could have passed along a warning to Trump, as a courtesy. But B.G.R. denies doing this, calling the idea “ridiculous on its face.”*

    In any event it's an interesting read but doesn't reach any definitive conclusions. One hopes Mueller has.

    Then, 10 days after Smith told his story to Harris (but before it published), Smith was found dead in a Minnesota hotel, with a plastic bag over his head and a source of helium attached. Per the Chicago Tribune, an accompanying note said Smith was taking his life because of a “RECENT BAD TURN IN HEALTH SINCE JANUARY, 2017,” and because of “LIFE INSURANCE OF $5 MILLION EXPIRING.” The note stated that “NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER” was involved in his death. Local authorities ruled his death a suicide.

    Since Smith’s death, we’ve learned that he name-dropped Michael Flynn a lot during the email quest, and that Smith distributed a document suggesting “Trump campaign” involvement. Harris also reported that US intelligence reports describe Russian hackers talking about how to get Clinton emails to Flynn through an intermediary. Mueller’s team started looking into the matter last year.

    Not the first "suicide" around the Russian intel folks

    Were this true, Mueller would have charged people for it. Do you believe mueller is not competent?

    Is that right?

    Because as of now all we know is that a server in the Trump Tower was communicating SOMETHING with bank closely tied to the Kremlin...on a regular basis.

    It absolutely looks fishy and deserves investigation and Mueller probably is or has done so.

    On what basis do you claim that Mueller would have charged people already?

    Are you getting updates from Mueller?

    No?

    You're "speculating" wildly (some might call it talking out your butt)?

    Ohh...

    Oh wait..there's more.

    Alfa Bank was also communication with an RNC server in Pennsylvania in much the same way at about the same time and stopped doing so right after questions began to be asked
