News outlets report that there were many attempts by Russian nationals to contact American nationals about and during the 2016 campaign for President of the United States. Reports put the contacts together to identify at least 14 individuals.
So much reporting that there is really no surprise there. Current reports are useful in putting them all together however.
Some people have remarked that it is important to keep in mind that these contacts were not about bilateral US-Russia relations.
They were about making a buck at a time when it did not look like the preferred candidate of these people would win the election.
Something else is important to keep in mind.
It may be even more important.
It is this: We were never supposed to know.
We were not supposed to know about any one of these contacts, let alone know what we know about all of them.
There are undoubtedly even more contacts that we don't yet know about.
We were never supposed to know.
