FBI Found No Evidence of Trump-Russia Connection — NY Times

The FBI has been conducting a preliminary inquiry into Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort’s foreign business connections, law enforcement and intelligence sources told NBC News Monday.

“So the question is … do we have a double standard here?” he said.

According to a poll conducted by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center, 57 percent of Russians who took part in the survey believe the outcome of the U.S. presidential election is important for Russia as 35 percent assert that Trump’s win would better for Russia’s national interests, Russian news agency TASS reported.

Cummings says Comey’s action could damage the FBI’s credibility. He said its standing could be further damaged if the FBI investigated Manafort but kept that secret.

Alone, any of these problems and allegations would be easy to write off, but for Trump, there will be a lot to deny over the coming week. “Paul Manafort’s not running for president”. These spikes in the log data and DNS lookups have been more active during the Democratic and Republican national conventions.

Thiel says he does not support some of Trump’s most controversial comments, including what he has said about women. Changing his tune, Trump asserted, “I don’t know who Putin is”.

Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said “Putin as an old KGB officer views the world as a zero-sum game between Russian Federation and the US, whatever is good for the U.S.is bad for Russian Federation and vice versa”.

Not necessarily. Putin, the ex-KGB man, may believe that by creating the appearance of favoring Trump, he is helping Clinton.

And the Trump campaign shared the following statement on Monday evening. We are continuing our investigation.

She appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”.

The Clinton campaign criticised Comey for revealing facts about an investigation so close to election day and breaking with the justice department tradition.

Jentleson told The Washington Post, “There have been classified briefings on this topic”. It’s unprecedented. Comey was acting in concert and coordination with the House Republicans.

The most serious part of the F.B.I.’s investigation has focused on the computer hacks that the Obama administration now formally blames on Russian Federation.

“The only covert server is the one Hillary Clinton recklessly established in her basement while serving as Secretary of State, compromising our national security”.

Meanwhile, Mother Jones news magazine quoted a report sent to Federal Bureau of Investigation according to which Russian Federation was “cultivating” Trump.

On the campaign trail in Florida on Sunday, Ms Clinton refused directly to address the new server brouhaha.

Investigators are expected to be looking for any indication that any of the emails were sent or received from Ms Clinton’s server and, additionally, whether any of them contained any classified information.

But that hasn’t stopped Harry Reid and the Democrats from engaging in wild accusations and concocting sinister conspiracy theories.

A Russian bank regularly pinged a server registered to the Trump Organisation based in NY, a cybersecurity firm told Slate – an allegation that has been denied by presidential nominee Donald Trump.
