Conversations between members of Trump's team and high-ranking officials including setting up a special backchannel for communications between the President and Putin, Reuters reported. That would allow the two talk without involving US national security officials.

I expect them to do a thorough investigation. One question I would ask is how many times did they contact other countries? That would give us a point of comparison, it would also find out if other countries are also involved. Suppose they discover that large campaign donations came from some other countries, that would be very relevant. For all we know this is the tip of the iceberg, everyone is guilty and Trump merely got caught.

If you were concerned about National security, ethics violations, criminal violations then this investigation is the very best thing. Yet interestingly those who were voicing the most concern a week ago now seem more focused on what else might be uncovered rather than resolving these concerns.
