Nigel Farage is 'person of interest' in FBI investigation into Trump and Russia
Source: The Guardian
Nigel Farage is a "person of interest" in the US counter-intelligence investigation that is looking into possible collusion between the Kremlin and Donald Trump's presidential campaign, the Guardian has been told.
Sources with knowledge of the investigation said the former Ukip leader had raised the interest of FBI investigators because of his relationships with individuals connected to both the Trump campaign and Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder whom Farage visited in March.

Farage has not been accused of wrongdoing and is not a suspect or a target of the US investigation. But being a person of interest means investigators believe he may have information about the acts that are under investigation and he may therefore be subject to their scrutiny.

"One of the things the intelligence investigators have been looking at is points of contact and persons involved," one source said. "If you triangulate Russia, WikiLeaks, Assange and Trump associates the person who comes up with the most hits is Nigel Farage."

Given Farage's chaotic tendency to looseness of the lips, whether in his cups or not, if I was any of the others implicated in the investigations, I'd be a bit nervous about his involvement.

(15,246 posts)I recall Farange being at a few Trump rallies.
I think there are several seperate threads here.
First is financial from Trump/Trump Org/Trump family needing $$$. That's their main connection to Russia.
Second you have guys like Stone and Assange who have long-running gripes against Clinton and open to coordinating "dirty tricks" against her. They co-opted Putin's plan for revenge and used it to help swing the election.
Farange/Flynn/Manafort/Page are probably in a third group that used Trump and Russia to try to advance their own interests.
But this all came together in a remarkable convergence to get us to where we are today.
