This article is written by Alex Neuhauser about former CIA director John Brennan's testimony on Capitol Hill. Brennan stated that Russia did interfere with our most recent presidential election and that Trump's party was communicating with them at time. He did not say whether the communication resulted in any collusion.
This article relates to our curriculum in numerous ways. It deals with foreign policy and campaign management. It makes you wonder if communications between Trumps party and the Russians consisted of collusion and also what are a campaigns limits? Another thing is that anything that deals with Trump can usually tie in with Public opinion because every action he makes is heavily analyzed and often stirs up controversy.
To me the leak that the communication was taking place and the fact that FBI director James Comey was fired around the same time does not seem like a coincidence. It definitely feels a little sketchy. However, I am not sure whether or not it is normal for our political parties to communicate with foreign nations, and it may be. But I feel like if the communication was normal then there would not be so many questions flying around.
