Trump/Russia Investigation Needs An Independent Commission

Everyday it becomes more and more apparent that an independent commission is needed to probe Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election as well as to investigate any contact that may have existed between Russia and the Trump Campaign.

Why is this important?

The latest polls show that 73% of Americans want an independent, nonpartisan commission investigating Russia's meddling in our 2016 presidential election.

Polls also show that 54% of Americans want Congress to investigate any potential ties between Russia and President Trump's campaign.

Considering the partisanship that we have witnessed all but consume the House investigation and new details emerging of the lack of progress on the Senate investigation, it is time to place this investigation into the hands of an independent commission that will conduct a transparent, timely and thorough probe of these important matters on behalf of the American people.
