Bribes and kickbacks, sounds about right
The following is from the 35 page report on page 8:
"4. In terms of the intelligence flow from the TRUMP team to Russia, Source E reported that much of this concerned the activities of business oligarchs and their families’ activities and assets in the US, with which PUTIN and the Kremlin seemed preoccupied.
5. Commenting on the negative media publicity surrounding alleged Russian interference in the US election campaign in support of TRUMP, Source E said he understood that the Republican candidate and his team were relatively relaxed about this because it deflected media and the Democrats’ attention away from TRUMP’’s business dealings in China and other emerging markets. Unlike in Russia, these were substantial and involved the payment of large bribes and kickbacks which, were they to become public, would be potentially very damaging to their campaign."
Just some thoughts...So Trump and his team were spying on Russians for Putin. Just gotta wonder what is meant by "asset." Isn't that a synonym for spy? Trump was/is very cavalier about the Russian hacking and he has gone out of his way to anger China. Maybe a business deal there fell through? I don't see him taking it well if bribes were paid and he didn't get what he thought he paid for or he was expecting kickbacks that never came.
If just this little bit of those 35 pages is true, I'd say he's in deep kimchee.
