Defending himself or defending Russia?

Who or what is Trump defending by obstructing the Russiagate investigation?

Himself and his cronies, sure.

But Russia, too.

Ari Velshi just now said this is the quid pro quo with which Trump repays Russia for their election help, and that makes it collusion.

White House to Congress: Russia sanctions not needed now

Who denied there was any Russian interference in the election, and for how long?

Who opposed new sanctions on Russia for interference in the elections?

And so on.

The current and uncharacteristic wave of Republican concern for Americans' civil liberties and privacy, their opposition to the surveillance state they strengthened to combat terrorism and crime, is only part of their effort to impede investigations of Trump and his gang, as well as anyone colluding with the Russians.
