Okay. Let's see if I have this correct (I can't say "right" of someone will be offended). Putin preferred having Trump win the election. (Seems rational to me) Let's accept that. So what? How does that support the conclusion that Trump serves Putin? Honestly, I don't see the connection. Let's accept the assertion that Putin somehow influenced the election in Trump's favor. Again, so what? If his agents jiggered the election results that's not acceptable and something needs to be done to prevent such actions. But, if his "jiggering" was merely spreading the word that people should vote for Trump, again, so what. Lot's of people tried to get me to vote for Trump, some for Hillary. I made my own choice. I know full well that many people all over Europe were rooting for Hillary. They blogged and wrote letters to the editor supporting Hillary. So what? That's their prerogative.

I agree. What some guy says on the other side of the world has nil effect on who I decide to vote for. Time to drop the Russian crap and start governing again.

If Democrats are guilty let us roll them up as well, I don't see any reason why Americans should tolerate a politician who is serving the interests of Putin instead of the Americans people.

SGT Matthew Sesar - You say that like our interests, and those of the large multinational corporations that fund our politicians, are not closely alighted... Perhaps you have a point, if we can stomach Exxon-Mobile determining environmental regulations, why should we mind Russia determining our foreign policy? (sarcasm)
