text: So both sides tried to dig up dirt on the other during an election campaign.  Not pretty, but hardly surprising.  To make this stick they will have to have clear evidence that with the knowledge of the Donald himself, the Trump campaign accepted assistance from the Russian in return for the promise of future favours etc.  We are still a long way from that yet.
  
  And while I am no fan of Mr. Trump, I do believe that there is a greater likelihood of evidence linking foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation and  personal payments (via speeches or whatever) to Bill and Hillary with access to Hillary or favourable state department treatment during her time as Secretary of State.
