Let's REALLY investigate Russian influence in American governance!

As expected spineless Republicans are back on their heels, not
knowing how to respond to the allegations that Russia "influenced"
the election and had "relationship" with Trump and his associates.

This is what is driving most Democrats, some Republicans and 
media to demand Congress hold hearings and Atty. Gen. Sessions
recuse himself from any investigation and even resign!

If there is such a clamor to go down this "Yellow Brick Road" to
nowhere, I urge Congress to go further back, to "somewhere",
which brings you to the beginning of the Obama Administration!

While the media will not report this in stories of Russian influence,
it may have first occurred soon after Barack Obama was sworn in.

We can first point to the infamous 'red button' Secy of State Hillary
Clinton gave to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov when they
met in March, 2009, to demonstrate President Obama wanted to 
'reset the relationship', but not stating what this would mean.

In the Fall of 2009, we had our first clue what this meant, as Obama 
reneged on our commitment to defend Europe which may have
telegraphed to Putin he could become more emboldened, leading
Russia to go into over Crimea over objections of the independent
Ukraine! 

This decision appeared to 'come out of the blue', as it was never
mentioned by Obama during his campaign.

Less than a year later uranium mined in Wyoming was sent to Russia.  
Granted this sale was part of a long term agreement between our
countries, but should have been held up based on Putin behavior in
the Eastern Europe and Middle East.

Nor should we forget the 'whispered' promise by President Obama, 
caught on a hot mike, "After My Election I Have More Flexibility" 
to Russian president Dmitry Medvedev  in May, 2012 during his
campaign for a second term. 

This curious relationship between President Obama and Putin meant
nothing to Democrats, or even feckless Republicans when they claimed
the majorities.

Yet now sharpened knives are pointing to anyone associated with 
President Trump with one purpose, to bring down his presidency!

Get used to this...but remain confident.  President Trumps spine 
is made of hardened steel, a missing ingredient in too many
notable Republicans.

So, lets have a full blown hearing on Russia, expand it for an entire
decade. Let the public learn which Administration really worked 
against our country's interests.
