@RedSpringsSlick I understand that point. I guess it's a technical matter of how to count contacts. ;) No matter how, there were lots of illegitimate contacts and lying about it. Lots of bad faith.
@RedSpringsSlick 1. Reliable sources have many different numbers for the contacts, likely based on the time of the tabulation & differing methods. Earlier ones obviously won't count later revelations, since all these contacts were kept secret by the Trump campaign & lied about. "Time will tell."
@RedSpringsSlick 2. Here are a few sources, so check the dates. Let's start with this article which summarizes the whole subject. The sources can be checked.

@RedSpringsSlick 9. As noted above, Trump sought to interfere in the investigation, and only recently have we learned that Rosenstein himself stopped further investigation. Trump's DOJ is not working for America, but for Trump. That's very wrong.
