Nice. I always agreed with the "politics ends at the edge of the ocean" idea, without thinking much about WHY. Too intuitive, I guess. But if you're relying on foreign powers and foreign interests to win elections at home, then who are you serving? CONTITUENTSY MATTERS.

Let's not forget that Trump not only accepted the aid of a hostile power, he SOLICITED it. This is not a matter of opaque and confusing legal investigations. This is a matter of public statements by Mr. Trump himself, as he campaigned:

"Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing, I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press,"

Donald Trump, July 27, 2016. Note the weasel words at the end.
