This country — at least the parts not wholly under the sway of right-wing propaganda — needs to come to terms with substantial evidence that the president is in thrall to a foreign power.
Harding, the former Moscow bureau chief of The Guardian, has been reporting on shady characters like Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman who was indicted last month, long before Trump announced his candidacy. He was able to interview Christopher Steele, the former British spy who wrote the dossier attempting to detail Trump’s relationship with the Kremlin, and who describes the conspiracy between the American president and the Russians as “massive — absolutely massive.”
It wasn’t Putin who fashioned a Republican Party willing to tolerate something close to treason if it’s the price of corporate tax cuts. Even if all the Republicans in Congress read Harding’s book, they probably wouldn’t act. But at least they’d know what they’re abetting.

First, in my opinion, we know so little.
The leaks are coming from witnesses and not the committee, so when this thing is reported we will be stunned at a lot of of it.
I ask the following following...
Somebody colluded for sure, thus who and based on what evidence.
Of course, was the President involved, personally or from what distance.
How can we prevent such an attack in the future, and what are the implications of high government officials being so financially tied to foreign powers.
