The claims allege the now-President-elect had been in contact with Russian intermediaries for five years
Russian operatives reportedly compiled salacious information about Donald Trump, and are said to have communicated with his campaign throughout the election, according to a highly classified addendum to the intelligence report about alleged Kremlin-ordered hacking, delivered to President Barack Obama and the President-elect.
Intelligence officials attached a two-page synopsis of the apparent findings to the highly classified report to illustrate the harm Russian operatives intended to inflict upon both American parties; and to bring the allegations that are circulating among the intelligence community to Mr Trumps attention.
The documents also allege communication between Mr Trump campaign officials and members of the Russian government throughout the election, anonymous national security sources told CNN.
The allegations were included in a series of memos compiled by a person claiming to be a British intelligence official who has worked with the United States in the past.

Trumps arrogance and his exploits in exploiting himself bit him in the ass.

(82 posts)All through this hacking business Trump has been denying and deflecting, while talking about what a great guy Putin is. I have felt that Putin was working to put him in power for a reason. Blackmail is a very good reason. Trump doesn't want to anger Putin, because he has known all along that Putin would spill the beans on what ever dirt he had on Trump. I bet there is much more, and that this was Putin's plan all along. He helps Trump take power so he can push him to do his bidding, with threats to expose the dirt.
