Sen. Mark Warner, the top DEMOCRAT on the Senate Intelligence Committee who has been leading a congressional investigation into President Trump's alleged ties to Russia, had extensive contact last year with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch who was offering Warner access to former British spy and dossier author Christopher Steele, according to text messages.
"We have so much to discuss u need to be careful but we can help our country," Warner texted the lobbyist, Adam Waldman, on March 22, 2017.
"I'm in," Waldman, whose firm has ties to Hillary Clinton, texted back to Warner.
Secrecy seemed very important to Warner as the conversation with Waldman heated up March 29, when the lobbyist revealed that Steele wanted a bipartisan letter from Warner and the committee’s chairman, North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard Burr, inviting him to talk to the Senate intelligence panel.
Throughout the text exchanges, Warner seemed particularly intent on connecting directly with Steele without anyone else on the Senate Intelligence Committee being in the loop. In one text to the lobbyist, Warner wrote that he would "rather not have a paper trail" of his messages.
The conversation about Steele started on March 16, 2017, when Waldman texted, "Chris Steele asked me to call you."
Warner responded, "Will call tomorrow be careful."
The records show Warner and Waldman had trouble connecting by phone. On March 20, Warner pressed Waldman by text to get him access to Steele.
"Can you talk tomorrow want to get with ur English friend," Warner texted.
An aide to Warner confirmed that the text messages are authentic.
Waldman, who did not return calls seeking comments, runs the Endeavor Group in Washington.
Waldman is best known for signing a $40,000 monthly retainer in 2009 and 2010 to lobby the U.S. government on behalf of Russian billionaire Oleg V. Deripaska. Deripraska had his visa revoked by the State Department in 2006 because of charges, which he has denied, that he has organized crime ties.

How many times do the facts have to be explained, Hillary's campaign hired a lawyer who hired a firm who were working for Republicans who hired an individual who went to Russians contacts for information. In comparison, the Trump campaign went right to Russian contacts, met them directly, seeking any help they could offer, invited them into America's election
And now you are going to tell us it is the same thing?

Totally missing the point, ignoring it would probably be a better explanation
To begin, a foreign nation antagonistic toward the US orchestrated an espionage effort to influence the American election, fact. At the same time, this same nation had over one hundred documented direct contacts with one particular campaign, which that campaign kept secret and not only accepted but solicited, another fact
Trump, who refuses to believe either fact, now tell us he sees nothing wrong with getting foreign aid in elections, in other words, having a hostile nation, say Iran or North Korea, having a say in how we select our leaders. And Trumpkins here are telling us that that is perfectly copacetic
And what makes it all suspicious is that Mitch is holding up funds aimed at election security in 2020, and we all know that billy Barr would have no problem or do anything if any nation came along to help Trump get elected, while at the same time Trump is kissing autocrats asses all over the world. And now he tells us there is no problem taking aid from a foreign nation to get elected. Suspicious?
