3/24/2017 1 Comment More than circumstantial evidenceSo recently there has been a lot of controversy regarding the Trump administration and their supposed contacts with Russia during the campaign in order to help sway the votes in their favor. Many people, mostly on the democratic side of things have been calling for an independent investigation, one that is not run by the GOP themselves. Although in new light, and in recent times the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigations have held recent hearings that allude to them having substantial evidence regarding the collusions with Russians during the campaign cycle.In fact, Adam Schiff, member of the House Intelligence Committee has spoken out and said that there is 'substantial evidence' regarding the Trump administration and their contacts with Russia during the campaign. He refuses to go into more detail regarding what he means by substantial evidence other than saying that it is more than circumstantial.
I think that this is both exciting and terrifying when it comes to U.S. politics. I am proud that the intelligence agencies are doing their jobs as a separate entity of the main White House, but I am also saddened by the fact that this kind of investigation is underway in the first place. If anything does come of this investigation, then things will surely go sour for the current administration, and we would be given Mike Pence as our new President. But on the other hand, why would we give the seat of the Presidency to the Vice President if he was also brought into the White House under the same false pretenses that the President was? Should the entire administration be taken out and we have a re vote? Again, if nothing comes of this investigation, then I bet that we would never hear the end of it from President Trump, he would be on Twitter the day of calling out the CIA or the FBI fake news.
