I know that some people will say it is a witch hunt out to topple Trump, but the truth will out. We are not dealing with "alternative facts", they are "facts".
I don't doubt there was a huge amount of contact. That's what governments do - they talk to other governments. I'd worry more about it if they HADN'T had any contact. If one intends to hit the ground running, then he'd better have on his running boots.
Still, I welcome the investigation, and agree with you that the "truth will out" eventually. I only slightly worry about whose version of "truth" comes out. Eventually, the actual truth will, and that's what I'm waiting on.
I also agree that another Cold War will not take place. that would be impossible, seeing as how one of the players is dead, dead, dead - the Soviet Union. What I don't understand is why they are even trying to fire up a new cold war, if they realize that the Soviets are no more. My best guess is that they are hoping no one out here realizes that "Soviet" and "Russian" are not the same thing, and they're trying to make bank on that.

If you look into it, a lot if these contacts were business related, not political. It just stinks.
I am more concerned now about war.
Here we are on the brink of WW III (nuclear) with two unhinged leaders sporting dodgy haircuts facing off.
Thanks America, or should I say Russia?
God help the world.
