This whole 'story' was a rewrite of an investigation done on HILLARY and OBAMA back during their DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. Both 'sides' were trying to find proof that the other was using 'foreign influence' to win the primary and be the DEM CANDIDATE during the 2012 election.
I was a bit ambiguous. By ‘whole story’ I mean the whole RUSSIA - TRUMP saga.
The story this article is about, is just one element of that saga.
