Before you roll your eyes, let me just say, first and foremost, that I am not saying that I believe in or am denying Trump having some sort of relationship with the Russian government which could potentially be affecting domestic policy. I am not in an intelligence agency, and don't have enough information to make a conclusion as of yet. But, I do think it's important to discuss the evidence at hand and see why people think such a relationship could exist.

Let me take you back to the infamous 2016 election, when Trump lost the popular vote but won the electoral college and thus the presidency. In May, 2016, reports from US intelligence agencies suggested that hacks targeting a political party, the Democrats, had Russian origin. When Wikileaks released stolen emails, intelligence officials suspected that Russia was behind this release as well, though Trump denied this.

Then, another mention of Russia arrives, in the form of Trump's campaign manager: Paul Manafort.

Manafort was accused of accepting millions for accepting Russian interests in Ukraine and the US. He later resigned while being investigated by the FBI.

Even when he officially became the president, the idea of Russian influence remained prevalent. According to Sally Yate's (the previous attorney general of the USA) testimony to the Senate, she told Trump that his then national security adviser (Michael Flynn), lied to the vice president regarding his Russian contacts and could potentially blackmailed by Moscow. Flynn remained in his position for 18 days before news of his ties became public, after which he resigned. Federal prosecutors subpoenaed business records from his associates.

But, not every piece seems to fall into this puzzle exactly.

After a chemical weapons attack killed many Syrian citizens, President Trump ordered the launch of 59 missiles to the airbase involved in this attack. What's strange? Well, after the missiles were launched, Russian president Vladimir Putin declared that they "dealt a serious blow to Russia-US relations."

Is there even a relationship at all? If there is a relationship between the two, did it go sour? Or is there something else going on of which we are unaware?

Then, recently, Trump fired FBI director James Comey, the very man leading the investigation into whether or not Trump's advisers worked with the Russian government to affect the 2016 presidential election's outcome. Was this a decision grounded in attempting to deter the investigation, or was it a just an executive decision?

The story into Russia is developing, and honestly, far from over. Whatever the truth is, I hope it eventually comes to light.
