Thanks for asking the question Saturn, and thanks for explaining the context Rational and Pifco.

I still don't get it. I'm anti-Trump for sure. But I don't get how this controversy is so significant? Also, considering so many other Trump controversies, why does this stick and force a resignation vs others?

It seems there is some evidence of other Presidencies colluding with outside forces to influence elections - historically, and not without dispute. However, I suspect these were sins not revealed until the issue was moot (years later). So, is that the fire here? I don't quite see the big deal about the appointed Secret Security guy being secretive and talking in a preliminary way to Russia? Is there evidence that this impacted something like a deal happening now? Seems like talking during the election before being elected is much much worse ethically. But if it wasn't about "hacking" and influencing the election... isn't it reasonable to call people and research?

Illuminate me.
