Now, first of all, for me, this is largely devil’s advocate, and by that I mean critical thinking, though I am about as non-partisan as an “American” can get.
This is a number one training you get in counterintelligence, besides mind bending crazy stuff. To look at all the angles.
Right now, I am undecided, though I find it very unlikely Trump is truly pro-Russia as some are trying to argue. I most certainly am largely not pro-Russia in the sense that many in security are not. I do certainly believe Russia hacked the Democrats and believed Trump would be easier for them. I also believe that was a foolish mistake.
Fact is, I was not surprised to see a similar angle taken on liberal NPR this very day, as well.
These things said, we do not know. Certainly, some in the administration had improper dealings, where I am mainly looking at Flynn. Flynn, in fact, is a traitor, and was rightly fired. But, that was mostly because he took a lot of money from Turkey, and he was a lifer intelligence. So, he knew that was equivalent to operating as an agent for Turkey. (Comey was an incompetent, and a careerist who showed no concern, historically for anything or one but himself.)
As for my general viewpoints, I am extremely conservative on some matters (such as Islam), and extremely liberal on others (such as health care for the poor and the broken justice system).

All of the red herrings aside.
The focus should not be on Russia doing what it has always done; but on a POTUS who is doing/has done what no president should be.
The Trump empire that almost single-handedly funded his rise to power is tied to and deeply dependent upon (indebted to) Russian influence. Russia is not “the bad guy” here for simply playing true to form.
And perhaps even Trump is not the “bad guy” . . . for simply playing true to HIS form. Yes, his “eat-my-feet” style of bully-leadership might accomplish some good things as side-effect. But the overall costs are going to be very high . . . and on-going even after he is gone.
This bears all the markers of someone desperately looking for someone other than themselves to point the spotlight on.
I am getting the message that House of Cards (new season) is prophetic.

Where is your evidence for this?
