This article, from the Washington Post, reports that the Sentate Intelligence Committee cannot yet confirm whether President Trump colluded with the Russian government. The Committee reported on their progress yesterday: a series of interviews with those who worked on Trump’s campaign and extensive document review confirmed that Russians had interfered with the 2016 election, but offered no answer on collusion.

Russian collusion is one of the most serious violations the President has been accused of so far, and could mean impeachment. However, the Senate Intelligence Committee estimates we won’t have an answer until the 2018 primaries.

Former White House ethics lawyer, Richard Painter, commented on Mueller’s investigation into the firing of former FBI Director, James Comey.  He claims that Trump’s motivation for the firing is central to the potential obstruction of justice charges, which he believes is tied to a meeting the President had with Russian officials the day after.

This opinion piece, which appeared this morning in the Capital Times, suggests that Attorney General Jeff Sessions may be vunerable to impeachment due to the dishonest testimony he gave to the Senate Judiciary Committee. If impeachment proceedings were pursued against Sessions, it could increase the vunerability of President Trump in two ways: 1) by making Sessions an ally in the Russian collusion investigation, and 2) by creating precedent for impeaching Trump himself.
