Once that Brian Ross/ABC News report was cleared up, markets rose again.
Markets and investors want certainty and dependability. Part of the reason for the strong rise in the markets is precisely because business and investors believe that certainty is returning to U.S. economic policy, which in turn is spurring investments and economic growth.
Tonight’s spotlight is about the growing evidence of a different kind of collusion than what most have been hearing about for about a year.
What this developing story could mean for the markets will be briefly examined.

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Former US attorney Joe DiGenova says there was a brazen plot within the FBI to exonerate Hillary Clinton of wrongdoing and to frame Trump, reports Fox News.
DiGenova said the wrongfully constructed pseudo-crime was a plan if she lost the presidential election. DiGenova also says the ‘lost’ texts between two FBI agents can be recovered.
The DiGenova part of the report is teed up with some predicates that will help those new to this developing story.
The import of this and the following video for market watchers is this. Should these reports prove to be accurate, then ‘there is no there there’ with the Trump-Russia probe. That in turn should lift an unfortunate cloud that has hung over the markets and the nation for about a year.
Level of bias in FBI texts is ‘stunning, alarming’: Rep. Ratcliffe
