    "Obviously, we know most of the people from his entourage,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the state-run Interfax news agency in an interview reported on by The Washington Post. “Those people have always been in the limelight in the United States and have occupied high-ranking positions. I cannot say that all of them but quite a few have been staying in touch with Russian representatives.”

    The source here is Russian...

    Wow. I would be 100% surprised if part of their job/career was to maintain a working relationship with representatives of foreign governments. 100% surprised.

    And with no tax returns, we cannot verify if the rumors/concerns about Trump's financial ties to Russia are true. It is ironic that the party of Reagan, elected a person he seemed so compromised with respect to Russia. The more we learn about Trump, the more this whole thing seems like the prologue to a dystopian novel.

    I like how you bash the mainstream media for being in the tank for Hillary, despite the fact that their immense coverage of Trump ended up helping him more than hurting him, and completely ignore the fact that the head of a far right wing media outlet (Steve Bannon) was literally running Trump's campaign.

    It looks like a pretty transparent attempt by Ryabkov to stoke infighting by announcing this. The evidence was already out there when we voted and we somehow elected him anyway, so I guess we don't care. I'd rather not do the predictable things that Russia obviously wants us to do, getting into a big post-electoral fight about the legitimacy of our president. He might be a terrible person but he's the president, the end.

    I didn't see anything in the article about discussions with Russia being about the sanctions or any other dispute.

    This is Russia continuing to damage the credibility of American institutions. Unfortunately, Trump had his make-out session with Russia already; Russia will use it to hurt him (as American leader) for the next 4 years.

    Exactly. Russia's entire goal in interfering with the election was to delegitimize both democracy and our institutions. That mission was already partially accomplished given that much of this was already known (the possible agents in the campaign, the contacts, the likely hood of Trump finances being tied to Russia) and many voters decided it didn't matter.

    Smart move by the Kremlin to stoke the flames. We will have many more years of this.

    What do sanctions matter? Can you come clean with your expert analysis of the Logan Act.

    I don't know but your comparison to him meeting with the Mexican president was idiotic.

    The only people who didn't know this were the people that were never were going to believe it.

    There will be many, many scandals against Trump most likely...... but again, it shouldn't be shocking based on track record; but America apparently doesn't care enough.

    Donald Trump is President...... the election is over... deal with it.
