Russia worked very hard to place Trump and, lest we forget, an additional number of supportive players in the White House. The President, in fact, may have been the LEAST important person who was placed, since Russia would have been a fool to put their trust in the erratic, childish, Trump. Russia is no fool.
The way that Russia-gate has been covered in the media is as an event that happened and is now over. This doesn't make sense. To think that Russia put so much effort into getting the Trump Campaign elected and then sat back and washed their hands of the affair is silly. Everyone knows they wanted sanctions lifted, but they had to know (unless they are totally naive) that this would be obstructed by congress. So, what are they getting for all their hard work?
It seems like, second to the uncertain ability to have sanctions against them lifted, Russia would have most valued having access to our intelligence. Now that Trump, and more importantly, his much smarter henchman, have access to classified intelligence every single day, how do we know that all this classified information isn't just being funneled straight to Russian fsb? Granted, this has probably (hopefully!) become difficult to pull off with all the intense scrutiny going on. I hope that Bannon, Conway, Trump, Kushner, Sessions, Nunes, McConnell, Ryan, etc., are being monitored 24/7.
The Trump organization that infects the White House is still beholden to Russia and it makes no sense to think that the "collusion" has ended. The White House should be treated as "compromised" and that collusion is ongoing.
