So has doing the leg work yourself fallen to trump-speak? Has anyone read the article in the NYT or did you only check this link?
WASHINGTON —
Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials.
Para 1 states there were repeated contacts over the last year. It does not state the nature of the contacts.
American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee, three of the officials said. The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.
The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, so far, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation.[ The underlined statement (or paragraph "3") refers to statement in red (the last sentence of paragraph "2") and nothing else
The first portion of the article. You want more? Look it up yourself.

Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials.

The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, so far, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation.
But the intercepts alarmed American intelligence and law enforcement agencies, in part because of the amount of contact that was occurring while Mr. Trump was
speaking glowingly about the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin. At one point last summer, Mr. Trump
said at a campaign event that he hoped Russian intelligence services had stolen Hillary Clinton’s emails and would make them public.

"The New York Times bombshell headline reads “Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence”. But note the third paragraph in, it reads “The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, so far, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation Note that the second paragraph is not included. Because the third paragraph directly addresses the last sentence in the second paragraph and nothing else. This is a direct attempt to discredit the NYT as a source. And like all attempts using misrepresentation, out of context portions, and the withholding of information found in the source y'all are too lazy to read, this one falls short. Shine a light on it and there is nothing there..”.
Shouldn’t the headline read “No Evidence Trump Campaign Had Contacts With Russian Officials”? What a joke. New York Times is #FakeNews". AKA LIES
