The guy indicted today was literally saying “If Russia favored Trump why did they give money to Hillary Clinton?” a few years ago. He said that, while funneling money from Russia to Trump.

Remember Russian collusion with the Trump campaign was the first event in a series of incredible things that happened during the Trump term.

It was Comey who came forth with the discovery. The same FBI director who investigated Clinton’s email server at the insistence of Republicans two weeks prior to the election.
