CS:  Thank you for your kind words.  We often disagree on issues but that doesn't mean we can't discuss issues in a civil fashion.

The Russian involvement has been investigated and, according to the FBI and NSA, has been validated.  The possible involvement of Trump Campaign officials has been alleged but, as you say, not established.  I do think a special counsel investigation would be merited.  As I said before, investigations can establish both innocence and/or guilt...A truly independent investigation would clear the air.

"This is not a thirld world country where political opponents are persecuted on allegations" I agree on this.  That's why Trump's comments and Trump followers chanting "Lock Her Up" bother me.
