Ex-Trump adviser swaps messages with DNC hacking suspect

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Mar 11, 2017, 11:13 AM ET

A political consultant and former campaign adviser to President Donald Trump says he communicated last year with an individual involved in hacking Democratic National Committee emails ...

Last summer, emails stolen from Democrats were posted by an online persona known as Guccifer 2.0. U.S. officials believe that individual is linked to Russia. Emails stolen from the chairman of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign were later released by the anti-secrecy website Wikileaks.

The U.S. government later concluded that the Russian government directed the DNC hack in an attempt to influence the outcome of the presidential election.

... The FBI is investigating, as are the House and Senate intelligence committees ...

I read the story about Roger Stone and fnally Trump's Russian connection is starting to unfold. Our elected leaders should demand that all of Trump's high level ex campaign higher ups and current staff including Bananon, Miller, Manafort, Stone, Sessions, Cohen, Epsthyne and Flynn be investigated and each given lie detector tests. Then Trump's tax returns need to be subpoenaed and scrutinized by independent ethics counsel. If there's collusion between Trump and Russia, he should be immediately impeached or invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. Forcibly is necessary. If a trier of fact proves illegal ties by any of them, they should be convicted and jailed. End of conversation period.
