The background book that provides the clearest presentation of evidence as well as reasonable motives for Trump's past and ongoing relationship with Russia remains [b:Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald Trump|36222733|Russian Roulette The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald Trump|Michael Isikoff|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1518568008s/36222733.jpg|57860260], though this book provides extremely sharp technological details on Russia hacking of the DNC and use of social media, as well as a more up-to-date presentation of the Mueller prosecutions. This is also the fifth, I believe, book on the Trump presidency this reader has completed, and it remains astounding that any individual holding America's office of leadership has been given as much latitude in what is clearly -- the evidence is deep and clear -- a compromised relationship with regards to a foreign government. What other individual would be given this amount of space to repeatedly misrepresent the truth of the volume and content of their conversations with an unfriendly foreign power? This makes this reader wonder not so much about the cult of Trump so much as whether compromising relationships extend to the legislative branch. The president, by any comparative or evidentiary basis, should have been removed some time ago.
