How close is Donald J. Trump to the Russians?

 "Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia."  -- Donald J Trump, Jr.



Pres. Obama says there were  communications between the Trump campaign and the Russians. The Russians also said that.


Today, Tuesday 12/13/16, Trump nominated a new cabinet position: Secretary of State. It goes to Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon (oil) which has recently been making huge deals with what country to drill on their soil?



During the presidential campaign it became known that there was a Trump Organization computer server connected to the Internet and it had regularly communicated with someone in Russia. It was quietly turned off and nobody was able to prove who was listening in Russia.



Just how connected to the Russians is Donald J. Trump?



One of Donald J. Trump's advisors and campaign manager was Paul Manafort. He had to leave the campaign when it was discovered he had lobbied for Russian interests in Ukraine. Similarly Carter Page has tied together Russian interests and Donald J. Trump.



How have Republicans in Washington handled the Trump and Russia story?



A lot of the electors (who cast the actual votes which decide the presidency) are concerned about the ties between Donald J. Trump and Russia.



Some Republicans who are not Trump fans are concerned too.



And Donald J. Trump himself? What does he think about all this?



How far does the Russian interference in US elections go? Is it only the presidential race? The New York Times is reporting that some Congressional races were also hacked!

Here is another article on the Congressional hacking. Sorry about the title.



What do the Russians have to say for themselves?
