If he were the only one who had gone to Moscow during the campaign and had talked to the Russian ambassador during the transition period and promised that sanctions were going to go away, maybe you could call this a coincidence, but now that we see a multiplicity of other people on the Trump campaign with undisclosed Russian contacts, the jig is up.
