NY Times: Trump campaign aides had repeated contacts with Russian intelligence

[Virginiá]

Well, on the positive side, at least we now know exactly how much party matters over country to Republicans. We are also measuring in real time just how much his supporters will ignore and rationalize in defense of their chosen one, raising the question of why so many Americans lack any curiosity into the truth, opting instead to feed their own endless bias.

But, with any hope, we can build up more and more support for taking back a chamber of Congress in 2018 and then using Congressional investigatory powers to unravel the rest of the Trump administration's mysteries. Until then, shocking as all of this is (really), I don't expect it to be anything more than headlines while Republicans have unified control of the federal government. So long as Trump delivers on conservative policy wishes, the GOP will bend to its donors and its need for self-preservation. Party over country, after all.
