The beginning of the FBI investigation into Trump began in 2016
Fact
In
July 2016, the FBI began investigating the Russian government’s attempt to influence the 2016 presidential election, including whether President Donald Trump’s campaign associates were involved in those efforts.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in
july 2016 aimed at the US presidential election” between Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton,
according to a U.S. intelligence community report released Jan. 6, 2017. Russian intelligence services gained access to the computer network of Democratic Party officials and released the hacked material to WikiLeaks and others “to help President-elect Trump’s election chances,” the IC said in its report.
Fact
Baker meet the lawyer in September of 2016. So for a few months there was an investigation going on and this was just additional information that might shed light on Trumps Russian connection. These are verifiable facts. The meeting had nothing to do with the start of the Russian investigation. It was just part of an ongoing investigation. The FBI had a job to investigate all leads.
.
Well some things like the ALFA bank was investigated and nothing found that would result in charges.
others like the Russians who hacked servers were charged but will never be prosecuted for obvious reason. That was a serious crime that the Russians did by hacking political parties computers on both sides. Yet only released what they found concerning Hillary. The Russian are still at it with the recent hacking of government agencies. Which is a problem that needs to be corrected.
How can anyone forget Trumps saying, I hope the Russians find those missing emails. Later that day the Russians hack into DNC computers.
coincidence or quid pro quo
Why did the Putin hate Hillary because she and Obama put sanctions on Russia for there Ukraine invasion and supporting Crimea
So pointing to the Baker story is focusing on one aspect and really ignoring the rest of the story.
