Trump Himself With a Foreign Power

Legal theory recognizes that there are three essential components to establishing that a person or organization has committed a crime and that must be established when prosecuting the defendants in court – means, motive and opportunity. Most articles have delved into the opportunity and means involved in the coordination and cooperation between members of Trump's campaign, family members and likely, Trump himself, with a foreign power, Russia, to subvert our election process. Less examination and focus has centered on the motive behind it. Although some nonsensical narratives have been circulated to suggest that Putin actually wanted Hillary Clinton to be elected, there is no credible evidence to support it. In this article, I present a deep vein of ore that demonstrates why Vladimir Putin intended Trump to attain the presidency. It centers around one person that Putin's regime and close political associates had murdered in a Moscow prison – Sergei Magnitsky.
