June 8, 2017By Taegan Goddard
Michael Grunwald: There are still plenty of unanswered questions about Russiaincluding the usual questions about what the president knew and when he knew itbut whats shocking is how many questions have already been answered. The scandal has already led to the abrupt firing of Trumps national security adviser. His attorney general and his son-in-law are also under siege for making false statements about their contacts with Russians; his former campaign manager is in legal jeopardy over his own political and financial ties to Russian operatives. And Trump himself keeps saying and tweeting things that would make any defense lawyer cringe, while doing things in his official capacity that make Vladimir Putin smile. It isnt clear how much, if any, of this behavior has been criminal, but a lot of it is pretty clearly scandalous.
The main unanswered question is whether the Republicans who control Congress will do anything about any of it. So far, their response has mostly amounted to Ha! ha! ha!'

We need serious leadership from someone, and quick.

(14,047 posts)Why it would even be acceptable for Trump to "Hope" that Flynn not be investigated?
Setting aside obstruction, explain why Trump would would not want these ties to any foreign government and especially the Russians
by his national security adviser not be investigated.
There is no possible acceptable answers to that.
