According to a New York Times report that we can all collectively pretend to be shocked and appalled by, President Obstinately Orange and Obtuse just might have a thing for Russia.

Ummm... thatโ€™s a lot.

An additional 10 other associates were informed about interactions, but did not engage in any themselves.

Per the New York Times, this knowledge is based on their own reporting, โ€œdocuments submitted to Congress, and court records and accusations related to the special counsel investigating foreign interference in the electionโ€.

As to how this all breaks down, here are the numbers:

Melaniaโ€™s Baby Daddy, currently holding the government hostage - 6 contacts

Michael D. Cohen, former fixer - 17 contacts

Donald Trump Jr., inheritor of defective genes - 17 contacts

George Papadopoulos, currently on a 12-month supervised release for making false statements to the FBI- 12 contacts

Paul Manafort, convicted felon - 6 contacts

Michael Flynn, plead guilty to โ€œwillfully and knowinglyโ€ making โ€œfalse, fictitious and fraudulent statementsโ€ to the FBI - 5 contacts

Jared Kushner, soon-to-be convicted felon-in-law - 6 contacts

Roger Stone, was just arrested on Friday - 18 contacts

Yeeeeeeah, somebody is definitely going to jail.
