This is a really insightful piece in Slate Magazine about the Trump/Russia scandal. It's an interview with an American journalist who has lived in Russia for the past five years. He offers his insights into where he thinks we've got it right, and where he thinks we've got it wrong. The basic gist is that all the pieces might not connect because they aren't necessarily all connected--Russia may not be smart enough to do that. As for collusion, while it's obvious there was an attempt at it, this reporter can't decide if the real explanation isn't just simply that the Trump campaign contained a basket full of idiots including (and especially) Donald Trump Jr.
