Part 2/4:
The Context: How Did We Get Here?
Understanding the background is crucial. The current situation is rooted in the controversy surrounding the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The origins trace back to the release of the so-called "dossier," an unverified collection of allegations that fueled chaos within Washington's political landscape.
The dossier, widely viewed as a political tool, led to a series of investigations into President Donald Trump and his associates. James Comey, during his tenure as FBI Director, was deeply involved in overseeing and publicly commenting on these investigations. Many critics argue that Comey and other officials played a role in exaggerating or manipulating the narrative around Russia collusion.
