Glenn Greenwald, The Indictment of Hillary Clinton's Lawyer is an Indictment of the Russiagate Wing of U.S. Media:
Spurred on by Hillary Clinton herself, the liberal sector of the corporate media used [a] fake claim to bolster their narrative that Trump and the Russians were secretly in cahoots.

The Washington Post, The brazen timeline of the GOP consultant accused of funneling Russian money to Trump's 2016 effort:
...in 2012, [Jesse Benton] made a significant jump – to running the campaign of Kentucky's [...] senator, then-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

What has transpired since then is a stunning series of missteps and accusations that culminated in Benton being indicted Monday for the third time in six years. The alleged scheme: illegally funneling $25,000 from an unnamed Russian national to Donald Trump's 2016 campaign effort.
