The unfolding of the Russia scandal has been like walking into a dark cavern. Every step reveals that the cave runs deeper than we thought, and after each one, as we wonder how far it goes, our imaginations are circumscribed by the steps we have already taken. The cavern might go just a little farther, we presume, but probably not much farther. And since trying to discern the size and shape of the scandal is an exercise in uncertainty, we focus our attention on the most likely outcome, which is that the story goes a little deeper than what we have already discovered. Say, that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort told their candidate about the meeting they held at Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer after they were promised dirt on Hillary Clinton; and that Trump and Kushner have some shady Russian investments; and that some of Trump’s advisers made some promises about lifting sanctions.
Scandal implies impropriety in regards to Russia and none may exist or a lot may exist. Would I appreciate is this line of demarcation where there is extreme focus on Trump's dealings with Russia, and virtually no discussion outside of the usual suspects in regards to the Clinton's and DNC's leadership's expansive dealings with Russia and Russian entities, to the tune of millions upon millions of dollars. Since we're going to go way down the Rabbit Hole here, could we have two factions of Russian power brokers in play here? Well, we'll likely never really know because of the piss poor job by Obama's National Security Complex and/or their bias if not outright complicity in favor of one side over the other.
