ITT: People equating Australia and Russia. Really grasping at straws here, guys.

Just a heads up, but the recent Mueller's report that came out said that the Russians did try to sway the election by helping some candidates in the 2016 election.

They did so by Facebook ads, ect. Not by actually hacking polling booths. Also the candidates that were helped where no coconspirators. They didn't cooperate with Russia. Russia did this on their own.

The two candidates that were helped where:

1. Trump

2. Sanders

So, whether you want to equate Australia with Russia or not, Sanders received help from Russia AND money from Australia.

You do realize that multiple members of Trump's campaign team have already plead guilty to various crimes, more are being investigated, and soon Kushner and Ivanka are likely going to be indicted too? Multiple members of his team have incredibly suspicious ties to Russia, Trump himself is highly indebted to Russian oligarchs, and Trump seems to have a relatively close personal relationship with Putin (and Putin may possibly have blackmail material on Trump). This investigation isn't just about Russia's involvement in the election, it's now about Russia possibly having compromised the entire executive branch.
