Interference... from Russia with Love

With the Donald Trump Jr. emails having been released by the New York Times, we now need to revisit the Russian Interference Scandal... again. I will be breaking down the aspects of the email chain, its implication, and what the future might hold.

First, we need to analyze the emails. I will attach a link to the article used by the New York Times to leak the email below. This whole scandal began when British Publicist Rob Goldstone sent an email to Donald Trump Jr. on the behalf of Azerbaijani/Russian Pop Star Emin Agalarov. The email said "The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father. This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump - helped along by Aras and Emin.." Aras Agalarov is a multi-millionaire Azerbaijani/Russian Land Developer, much like Donald J. Trump. The most concerning part of this email chain was Trump Jr's response: "if it's what you say I love it."

What does this mean for the Trump Administration? Honestly, nothing much. I would be surprised if anything were to happen other than light censure. This has happened multiple times in the Trump Administration - it occurred with former Campaign Adviser Paul Manafort, former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, and current Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Odds are that Democrats would not impeach Trump because of the alternate: Mike Pence. Mike Pence goes against everything stands for and would provide a massive roadblock for any bill they want to be passed.
