Members of President Donald Trump's campaign and transition team had more than 100 contacts with Russian-linked officials, according to a new report. 

The milestone illustrates the deep ties between members of Trump's circle and the Kremlin. The findings, tracked by the Center for American Progress and its Moscow Project, come amid reports that special counsel Robert Mueller is nearing the conclusion of the two-year investigation into Russian collusion in the 2016 election and possible obstruction of justice by the president.

"This wasn't just one email or call, or one this or that," said Talia Dessel, a research analyst for the left-leaning organization. "Over 100 contacts is really significant because you don't just have 100 contacts with a foreign power if there's nothing going on there."

Yep, it is all Russia.

How does that compare to Obama and his cabinet having over 730 contacts with the Russians?

Your link does not specify that, does it?  Doesn’t specify much of ANYTHING, for that matter.  No proof, no examples, just words on a website.  I hope Mueller notices their site and adds it to his investigation; I think he is seriously lacking any substantive proof.

Remember the outrage of the Dems in Congress when Trump had his closed door meeting with Putin?  Didn't they, the Dems in Congress, want to question the interpreter?

TRANSITION TEAM- means after the election.......don't most Prsidents have contact with foreign governments after an election?

I see this all as Much ado about nothing until Mueller's report comes out, is scrutinized and deciphered. Unless there is not more substantive evidence that what has been "leaked" I haven't seen anything but supposition and inference so far

But it's Trump, so ANYTHING which can be twisted to infer impropriety is not only allowed, it is encouraged.
