There has been a lot of talk about the Trump-Putin connection. There is a very good chance there is something real there. It needs to be looked into (to paraphrase Trump). Paul Manafort and others on Trumps staff have ties to Putin's inner circle, and Trump's statements on defense policy would benefit, most of all, Putin and Russia.
That New York Times interview two days ago was the straw that broke the camels back for a lot of people who were on the fence as to if there was something there. There probably is and sooner rather than later, it must be exposed. Or to paraphrase Slate, Hillary Clinton is really running against Vladmir Putin in November.
