Given the current revelations regarding possible connections between Russia and Trump's campaign/administration, should thorough non-partisan investigation be conducted?

Russia is at best a regional power, if you disregard its nuclear arsenal.
If anything, Putin is in Trump's pocket - and after the previous warmongering administration he loves to be there.

Why is it a problem now?
The left couldn't care less when Clinton/Gore were bought by the Chinese. Ever wonder how China got their hands on our military hardware secrets?

Now that the Republican Congress has mysteriously given up investigating Eric Holder, Lois Lerner, Benghazi!, Benghazi!, Benghazi! and Hillary Clinton’s emails, they surely have the time and money to investigate the possible connections between Russia and Trump's campaign.

Given the current revelations regarding possible connections between Russia and Trump's campaign/administration, should thorough non-partisan investigation be conducted? "As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One's chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well."
"And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock…
Was this investigated? Were democrats outraged? If not for liberal hypocrisy we would have nothing to say about them.

So when do the Congressional investigative hearings on Republican Trump begin ???..................

Of course, once trump won the election, the Republican Congress was no longer interested.

So, you were in support of your candidate, Hillary Clinton, the candidate that actually accepted millions of dollars from the Russians in exchange for political favors but you are now against a Trump staffer who happened to talk with them?
Do you realize how big a hypocrite you are?

Because if Russia has the capability of directing or overly influencing the President situations can easily develop where our national policy puts their interests before our own or, heaven forbid, might even put our military in needless peril?

Yes this is a concern, especially since we know for a fact they can purchase the State Department. Where was Obama while Hillary was running the State Department like an auction house? Asleep at the wheel or was he a silent partner? It's really quite sad to know this is where this country is, government officials can openly sell influence and there's no consequences. I'll bet they go after Trump for allowing a staff member to talk to the Russians!

I'll bet they go after Trump for allowing a staff member to talk to the Russians! So what I hear you saying is that because you believe the Secretary of State was on Russia's payroll, with no real proof of that being true and the investigations she has been through finding no evidence of it, it should be okay for the President to be on Russia's payroll and we shouldn't even bother to investigate it?
Is that it in a nutshell? Because that's what it sounds like you're saying.

This wasn't about the foundation, this was about the Clintons in the 90s.... a lot of money was funneled thru Chinese contacts to Bill's re-election. There were serious questions about Chinese influence on the election as well as whether advanced missile technology made it to the Chinese. Democrats didn't give a ****. We were all surprised.

I would have thought that if all that were true, some of it would have come to light during the many investigations into basically everything she has ever done, ever.
