U.S. Senate finds no evidence against Trump

It is very a kind of second-class acquittal, the leading members of the intelligence Committee in the U.S. Senate now. For two years they have tried to find evidence that trump's campaign team has consciously and deliberately worked with the Russian government to win the election in 2016. From the determination of Democrats and Republicans to win the knowledge: A direct proof, you have not found, and you will not find, reported the news sense of NBC News.

The Republican Senator and Committee Chairman, Richard Burr of North Carolina said last week in a CBS Interview: "If we were to now write a report on the basis of the facts that we know, then we have nothing, what could suggest that there was a secret collaboration of the Trump team with Russia."

Now, on the spaces in the core are also Democrats. One who asked not to be named, told NBC News: "We will never find the with a blood signed contract that says, `Hey Vlad (Vladimir Putin, ed. d. Red.), we will cooperate'."

No new information

not expected, Both sides seem to believe that new insights are to be expected. "We know that we are approaching the bottom of the tank, because there are no new questions to which we could look for an answer," said Senator Barr. The Committee has heard in two years, more than 200 witnesses and more than 300'000 pages of paper crawled.

evidence for a cooperation have you found in it, however, abundant. Between Official from trump's Team and the Russian government represented it gave before the election, about 100 contacts. In some, the closest Confidant of Trump were involved, about Trumps son Donald Trump Junior, or his son-in-law Jared Kushner. There are Mails from Donald Trump Junior, the show that there was at least a high level of willingness on the Russian offers of cooperation.

The Russian side, apparently, was willing to share incriminating Material on Trumps opponent Hillary Clinton with the Trump campaign. Before the election, among other things, Donald Trump Junior and Jared Kushner met with a Russian lawyer in New York's Trump Tower. Allegedly, the lawyer had come with empty hands. Trump has asked the Russian government to the public, incriminating E-Mails, the Russian Hacker had stolen from the servers of the democratic party.

data could have helped Russia

Contrary to trump's assertions during the election campaign, he had until well into the election campaign into business contacts with the Russian government. His former personal lawyer Michael Cohen said he had tried in trump's contract to June 2016, a business about the construction of Trump Towers in Moscow, to conclude. Without the consent of the Kremlin such a construction would not be possible.

A proof of the recently public made fact that trump's former campaign Manager Paul Manafort detailed survey has been shared with a man the FBI regards as well-connected with Russian secret services. The data could have helped Russia to improve its disinformation campaign.

report of special investigator Mueller is still out

Manafort now expects a long prison sentence in the Wake of the investigation by Robert Mueller, the special investigator for the U.S. Department of justice in the Russia affair. It is mainly because of long-past cases of Bank and tax fraud. So far, Manafort has not been charged in connection with the election of 2016.

The investigation by Mueller. It is expected that he will face in the coming weeks, his report finished. Observers believe, however, that Mueller will present groundbreaking new findings.

a year Ago, and already the Republicans have declared in the house of representatives, the investigation of their chamber for complete. The step provoked massive criticism, because the Democrats were not involved in this decision. Now the Democrats have the House majority. They have announced that they want the investigation re-intensify. The parliamentary investigation is not over by a long. Nevertheless, the joint estimation of the senators, that it will probably be found not a sound proof dampening to high expectations.

Criminal energy of the Russians

little doubt, however, there is the fact that the Russian government has put a lot of effort to help Trump to win elections. With a wide-ranging disinformation campaign in social media. Or with various Try to move Trumps the election campaign team for the cooperation. And, not least, with criminal energy, by hired hackers and resilient to steal Material against Clinton. As far as the U.S. intelligence services.

The report of the senators in the intelligence Committee will be expecting in a few months. Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia says he will go to the American people the facts present. Then it is up to the people, "whether it was according to what Definition – a secret cooperation". (Editorial Tamedia)
