Confessore on Trump Team, Russia: ‘It Seems Like an Awful Lot of Focus on One Country and One Set of Issues’

EXCERPT:

CONFESSORE: “It’s the big question at the heart of this investigation. And why so many contacts with so many different people who are directly or slightly connected to Kremlin interests over the course of many months, are meeting at the Seychelles, meeting at the NRA conference, meeting at Trump Tower? There are so many layers to this. It's so thick with discussion. And I can’t quite understand — maybe David can tell us more about this. It seems like an awful lot of focus on one country and one set of issues. Yes, it’s a big important country with a lot of problems, Russia. But they were extraordinarily focused on this question of sanctions and everything else flowing from it. One question you wonder is, are they worried about Russia imposing sanctions back or doing something else that might impact their own interests here in the U.S.?”
