We know that the Russians tried to subvert the last US presidential election, in favour of Donald Trump.
We know that they tried to gain access to the Trump Campaign through various intermediaries.
Until last week, Trump's supporters and defenders could say "No Collusion!", claiming that there is no evidence that the Trump Campaign cooperated with the Russians.
Last week, courtesy of a mistake made by Manafort's lawyer in a court filing, we now know that Mueller has proof that Manafort, as the campaign manager of the Trump Campaign, shared polling data with a Russian associate who has ties to Russian Intelligence.
Why would Manafort send polling data to a Russian with links to the very people who were actively subverting the election in favour of his boss?
There can be only one answer to that question...to actively collude in the Russian subversion of a US presidential election.
Sorry Trump supporters, this is the first of what I think will be many smoking guns.
It is inconceivable that Trump would not have known about this - the man is a traitor.
