"The U.S. intelligence community concluded in a report made public in January 
that the Kremlin sought to disrupt the 2016 election and sway the race in 
Trump's favor."  From "thehill.com".  Only Trump and his duplicitous supports 
try to say it was Clinton who conspired.  Frankly Trump is likely guilty of 
treason, the sooner he's impeached and indited the better, along with ALL of 
his supporters in goverment.
