My views on these two matters:
If Russia buying ads on Facebook qualifies as "interfering with a US election", then Facebook censoring conservative candidates also is "interfering with a US election"
But you're fine with one, and not the other. I'm stunned!

Convenient to discount all the good and focus in all the bad. You really are suffering from TDS.
Anyone that thinks Russia is a bigger threat to our democracy and freedom than Facebook is a fool.

Impeachment shouldn't be the end of this. Here's a good article that offers more productive and long-lasting positive outcomes.
Investigate (already happening), Expose, Legislate, Censure, Defeat, Prosecute.
Impeachment would be the easy way out for Trump.

Moscow’s primary aim. Was it to sow discord and chaos to delegitimize the US election? Prompting a political crisis in the United States was certainly in keeping with Putin’s overall goal of weakening Western governments. There was another obvious reason for the Russian assault: Putin despised Hillary Clinton, blaming her for the domestic protests that followed the 2011 Russian legislative elections marred by fraud. (At the time, as secretary of state, Clinton had questioned the legitimacy of the elections.) US officials saw the Russian operation as designed at least to weaken Clinton during the election—not necessarily to prevent her from winning. After all, the Russians were as susceptible as any political observers to the conventional wisdom that she was likely to beat Trump. If Clinton, after a chaotic election, staggered across the finish line, bruised and battered, she might well be a damaged president and less able to challenge Putin..

Mr. Mueller’s investigators have heard testimony from a witness that the donor, Erik Prince, wasn’t introduced to the Russian by intermediaries from the United Arab Emirates, as he had told the House panel, the people said.
Mr. Prince, founder of the Blackwater security firm, told the House Intelligence Committee in November that he had traveled to the Seychelles to meet with Mohammed bin Zayed, crown prince of the United Arab Emirates, and his associates to discuss “potential business in the future,” according to a public transcript released by the panel, which is investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
During his stay in January 2017, Mr. Prince said he also met with the Russian executive, Kirill Dmitriev. Mr. Prince told lawmakers that the meeting with Mr. Dmitriev was a short, chance encounter at the hotel bar and was arranged by a member of Mr. Zayed’s delegation. Mr. Dmitriev is the chief executive of an investment fund created by the Russian government and is close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
However, testimony earlier this year from George Nader, an adviser close to UAE’s crown prince who is cooperating with Mr. Mueller’s investigation, has contradicted Mr. Prince’s account, according to the people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Nader told Mr. Mueller’s investigators that he attended Mr. Prince’s meeting with the Emirati delegation and that the Emiratis didn’t make the introduction between Mr. Prince and Mr. Dmitriev, the people said.

Sounds interesting. I'll check it out. My love of spy novels have never really transferred to the movies, but maybe the time has come.

J-Law was really good in it as were her co-stars but it was such a dark depressing situation to live your life in. I can't imagine what it was like to grow up in a state run hell hole like that.
