Last year, during the election there were reports that Russia was trying to interfere with our election. While President Trump has denied there is link between him and Russia during the election, some of the people around him are under investigation for talking to the Russians before the election. The investigation has hit a road block in the House of Representatives but it is going forward in the FBI as well as the U.S. Senate. My hope is that the Democrats and Republicans pursue this and find out what happened in our election last year.
Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was forced to resign recently after only several weeks on the job. It was revealed that he had spoken to Sergey Kislyak around the time the Obama administration put sanctions on Russia because of their interference in the 2016 election. Michael Flynn lied about it and was forced to resign. He has since agreed to testify in exchange for immunity. The President’s son-in-law Jared Kushner also spoke with Sergey Kislyak before Trump became our president.
The U.S. House Intelligence committee were looking into connections between the Trump administration and Russia. That changed when Intelligence committee chairman Devin Nunes rushed to defend Donald Trump and cancelled hearings this week. Since congressman Nunes seems to be covering for Trump instead of investigating, Nunes should recusal himself and resign from congress if he is covering up a crime. Attorney general Jeff Sessions has already recused himself from the FBI Russian investigation because of his contacts with the Russians before the Trump Administration took office.
I think President Trump had contacts with the Russians before the election and collaborated with them. This would be considered Treason at the very least. I am basing this on information we know already. I do not make these charges lightly and I would like a full investigation to find out what happened. The FBI and U.S. Senate are currently running investigations between Trump and the U.S. election last year. We don’t know what all of the facts are so we need to find out so that we know what happened in the last election.
