The latest investigation from The Daily Caller now confirms that not only was there contact with the Russians, but there were cash payments directly from Russian banks in return for a promise to remove U.S. sanctions on those banks.

The problem for the official mainstream narrative is that the Russian connection has nothing to do with President Donald Trump or his surrogates, but rather, centers around none other than Tony Podesta, the brother of Hillary Clinton insider and campaign chairman John Podesta.

While Clinton served as Secretary of State, it was Tony Podesta's firm that was lobbying the State Department and the Executive Branch in an effort to remove sanctions imposed by the Obama administration after the Ukraine/Crimea split in 2014.
