plus they have proof of all the ties between them and of some of the things he's done (collusion).

It's my understanding that the ties between them were less official, less formalized in earlier months (and years). REMEMBER: He wasn't officially the candidate until the RNC convention in June.

You had these oligarchs running around flirting with him, as it were, but once he actually became the candidate, it made getting serious -- and a bit more disciplined about communication and "the plan" -- imperative.
