The NY Times is reporting (more or less) that the FBI paid some Russian clowns $100Gs for info to make Trump look bad. Fox News just did that story, plus another wrinkle in the whole subject, something about other Trump-associated surveillance. And even the reporter doing the Fox story admitted that it could be "confusing."
BERLIN — After months of secret negotiations, a shadowy Russian bilked American spies out of $100,000 last year, promising to deliver stolen National Security Agency cyberweapons in a deal that he insisted would also include compromising material on President Trump, according to American and European intelligence officials.
The cash, delivered in a suitcase to a Berlin hotel room in September, was intended as the first installment of a $1 million payout, according to American officials, the Russian and communications reviewed by The New York Times. The theft of the secret hacking tools had been devastating to the N.S.A., and the agency was struggling to get a full inventory of what was missing.

Yes, indeed it could.
WHICH tells me that all this crap may just prove to be in the DEMOCRATS' FAVOR.
Everyone knows that the American attention span is shorter than what it took to type this post, and the Democrats are fully aware of this, and have used it numerous times in the past.
Perhaps the Dems are, in fact, allowing a lot of this to get out (true or not) and hoping at some point that NO ONE, especially the voters, will have ANY INTEREST in seeing any prosecution because no one really understands it....or cares anymore.
In other words, the Dems are betting on the old saying (initiated by Democrats), "Don't confuse me with the facts...."
