As I see it, how Trump reacts to Russian meddling into our elections is a totally separate and different issue from Trump colluding with the Russians which was a farce and made up thing from the beginning and does not exist.
Also with regards to Russian meddling with our elections, I hope you, and others, realize that WE, the United States, do exactly the same thing to other Nations and Countries. Obama meddled in Israel's elections hoping to get a different leader in there and no doubt in Germany and other Nations as well.
Is this going to be a do as I say and not as I do type thing? We live in an awfully big glass house so we should exercise care how we throw stones of judgment and condemnation as we (the United States) do exactly the same things. Trump surely is in a position to know the past influence and meddling that the US did in other elections so I'm not going to be too condemning if he takes a cautious approach to Russia who also knows we do exactly the same things. Often we, the United States, and Russia are working at the same time doing the same things with regards to a third party/nation. All of that needs to be considered as well. We, the United States, are not pristine white virgins on the world stage here either. I am also not condemning the United States (our nation) for concerning itself in other Elections for our relations with other Nations depends on who is in power so at the very least we want to have and keep some political connections with almost every Nation, (hopefully) friendly and not as well if that be the case.
