efforts to influence the 2016 election in Trump's favor (full report attached)...why would you NOT think that those 51 Intel experts had justifiable cause for their suspicions?
...from that report...
-------------------
I. (U) FINDINGS
(U) The Committee found that the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multi- faceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome ofthe 2016 presidential election. Parts ofthis effort are outlined in the Committee's earlier volumes on election security, social media, the Obama Administration's response to the threat, and the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA).
(U) The fifth and final volume focuses on the counterintelligence threat, outlining a wide range of Russian efforts to influence the Trump Campaign and the 2016 election. In this volume the Committee lays out its findings in detail by looking at many aspects ofthe counterintelligence threat posed by the Russian influence operation. For example, the Committee examined Paul Manafort's connections to Russian influence actors and the FBI's treatment of reporting produced by Christopher Steele. While the Committee does not describe the final result as a complete picture, this volume provides the most comprehensive description to date of Russia's activities and the threat they posed. This volume presents this information in topical sections in order to address coherently and in detail the wide variety o f Russian actions. The events explained in these sections in many cases overlap, and references in each section will direct the reader to those overlapping parts ofthe volume. Immediately below is a summary of key findings from several sections.

Also, to to page 27 of the report to get an understanding of how Trump's campaign manager, Paul Manafort, got deeply involved with Russian agent, Konstantin Kilimnik...demonstrating the collaboration between Trump and Putin.
Anyone capable of rational thought knows that Putin has not taken a "Hands Off" position on U.S. politics after 2016...or stopped working to get Trump elected.
Just think about this...arguably, our WORST ENEMY not only wants Trump to be our President, but is actively working to make that happen...with DJT's gratitude and appreciation.
