When Boris Johnson, the UK foreign secretary at the time, was asked in November 2017 whether Russia had played any role in British elections, he told MPs in a select committee that he had not seen any evidence of such an occurrence.

When asked in a follow-up if Russia had sought to play a role, Johnson said: “I don’t know about sought to play, but as far as I know they played no role.” The new revelation comes as authorities in the UK are investigating the funding behind a pro-Brexit campaign, and whether it might have included illegal foreign donations. The National Crime Agency (NCA) is investigating the insurance executive and political donor Arron Banks, who was suspected by the UK’s Electoral Commission of not being the “true source” of £8m in funding to the Leave.EU campaign. The matter was referred to the NCA by the commission after it said it had “reasonable grounds” to suspect a number of criminal offences. Banks has said there was “no Russian money, no interference” behind the £8m he gave to the unofficial Brexit campaign.

So now they are going to do to Boris' associates what their counterparts are doing to Trump's...

Foreign donations were fine for hussein’s campaigns though.

I am convinced that this little arrangement between the Brits and our FBI is the reason that president Trump has NOT released all the classified documents associated with the entire “collusion” investigation.

My guess is the Brits have begged president Trump to not release classified docs as they would be very embarrassing to our “good friends”.
