Senate report says 2,016 Trump campaign contacts with Russia Goods, serious threat ‘

(Washington) – The Trump campaign interactions with the Russian intelligence service during the 2016 presidential elections a threat counterintelligence “grave” including a Senate panel Tuesday degree of detail as employees of Donald Trump had regular contacts with the Russians and expects benefits the Kremlin’s help. The report of nearly 1,000 pages, the fifth and final one-run Republican by the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation on Russia, details such as Russia launched an aggressive effort in choosing the ominous name Trump. He says the president of Trump campaign in regular contact with a Russian intelligence officer and that other Trump employees were eager to exploit the Kremlin should help maximize the impact of communication especially for the Democrats emails hacked by Russian secret services . The report is the result of a bipartisan probe that produces what the committee called “the most complete description of the date of its activities in Russia and the threat they represented.” The survey has measured more than three years said as the leaders of the plate, that he wanted to document the unprecedented attack on the US elections carefully. The results, including inflexible characterization of interactions between Trump furtive members and Russian workers, to investigate eco largely that of the Special Adviser Robert Mueller Russia and Republican president claims research do not seem to recognize that the FBI had no basis if his campaign conspiring with Russia. Trump, who again and again the Russian survey defined a “hoax” said Tuesday that “does not know anything,” the report or Russia or Ukraine. He said he has “nothing” to do with Russia. While Mueller was a criminal probe was the Senate investigation, counter-intelligence effort with the goal of ensuring that interference would not happen again. The report has to protect a number of recommendations on this front, including the FBI to do more to foreign interference campaigns. The report was published as two other Senate committees, the Justice and Homeland Security panel, perform their own reviews of the Russia-probe with an eye toward discovering what they say is FBI misconduct in the early days of the investigation. A prosecutor Attorney General William Barr appointed in relation to the investigation in Russia with skepticism, has revealed its first criminal charges Friday against a former FBI lawyer who is planning to change, email support a guilty government. Among the striking sections of the report is the description of the Committee on the close working relationship between the former president of the country Trump Paul Manafort and Konstantin Kilimnik, the Committee shall define officers of the Russian secret services. “Overall, represented the high-level access Manafort and willingness to share information with people closely linked to Russian intelligence services, in particular Kilimnik, a serious counterintelligence threat,” the report said. The report notes that Manafort survey data shared internal campaign with Trump Kilimnik and says that may be linked to the efforts of Russia Kilimnik ‘a bit’ of evidence “to engrave and escape democratic email, although this information is obscured. The report also says “two pieces of information of” potential connection the ability to revoke Manafort, blackened back to these operations, but what follows. Two men have been charged with Mueller investigations, but neither no connection with the hacking was charged. A Manafort Kevin Downing’s lawyer said Tuesday that the information at the request of Müller’s team sealed He added “completely refutes what he seeks the guesswork intelligence committee.” As Müller, examined the “hypothesis seems complete.” Committee meeting Trump eldest son Donald Trump Jr., with a Russian lawyer in June 2016 took the opinion that the connections with the Russian government to have received objective information to damage an opponent of his father, Democrat Hillary Clinton. The Senate panel said it considered that the lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya has “significant connections with the Russian government, including the Russian secret services,” as the other participants in the hearing, Rinat Akhmetshin. The panel has said that he has discovered the compounds that have been “length and breadth of what has been publicly known,” especially in terms of Veselnitskaya. In a statement Akhmetshin said he was “raised again by the false claim that I was a Russian spy.” The report also found no reliable evidence of Trump long-standing hypothesis that Ukraine had interfered in the election, but they have some of the first public messaging pursuing this theory Kilimnik and said it was spread by the proxy of the Russian Government tried to discredit Russian interference investigations. The committee said the campaign messaging lasted until “at least January 2020” – after the house had accused Trump pressure Ukrainian officials on the democratic family Joe Biden to investigate opponents Trump general elections now. During these efforts, some Republicans, including Trump claimed Ukraine was interfering, not Russia. Trump was acquitted by the Senate. The report intentionally specify a definite conclusion as did Müller and, like the House intelligence committee reported in 2018 that campaign if Trump with Russia coordinated the election fluctuate enough evidence to him, so that his results open partisan interpretation . Several Republicans on the panel presented “additional views” on the report and said that should determine explicitly that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia. It is said that while the report shows the Russian government for the election “unreasonably interfered”, “the then candidate Trump was not an accomplice.” The panel acts GOP Chairman, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, signed this statement, but the president who led the study, North Carolina Senator Richard Burr, did not. Burr stepped aside earlier this year when the FBI check its sales from stocks. Another member of the Republican Committee, Senator Susan Collins of Maine, do not sign on the GOP statement. Burr, who he presented the report before he stepped aside, often face criticism of his fellow GOP on the probe to work with Democrats and sensitive to the calling of witnesses as a Trump Jr. The top Democrat on the panel, Virginia Senator Mark Burr praised Warner for investigation despite criticism from all parties stick. He said Burr “looking for this North Star to remain faithful, to” cancel all the facts “Warner said that the report was designed to” get their own judgments every American to do. “One of the Democrats on the panel has its own views, the report said,” clearly shows that members voted to keep collaborated with Russian efforts Trump campaign Trump. “Warner signs on no to this statement. Maine Senator Angus King, an independent, with Democrats Caucasus, not signed that statement and said he believed that the report should be bipartisan. But, he said in an interview that he believes that the report was a “warning.” relationship “is not one joke, “said king.” and ‘is just a series of facts which is to ignore hard. “Mueller concluded in its report last year that Russia disrupted social media campaign in to hacking elections and a hidden and d campaign that Trump has embraced the assistance and expected benefits from them. But could increase shareholders Mueller no Trump conspired with the Russians. the Senate report, for example, that the officers did not respond aspects of INDA error gine FBI, suggesting the urgency of the violation to the mail server system Democratic National Committee. The report also criticizes the confidence of the FBI on opposition research on relations with Russia Trump, who as a former British spy, Christopher Steele, whose work was funded by the Democrats together. The committee did was the FBI Steele “unjustified accusations faith” as he left the dossier of research in seeking court approval to listen to the former Trump campaign Carter Advisers. He says many of the dossier allegations remain unconfirmed “delivered the first of these notes nearly four years after Steele.” A separate study criticized by the inspector general of the Department of Justice and the FBI for errors and omissions in the dossier and Steele.
