Demand the FBI investigate Donald Trump's ties to Russia

It's time the FBI launched an investigation into Donald Trump's real motives and his ties -- financial or otherwise -- to the Russian Government.

Why is this important?

I'm concerned for my country, concerned about Donald Trump's motives, and concerned for our national security. Donald Trump has now repeatedly encouraged the Russian government to commit espionage and hack U.S. computers, while refusing to provide any documentation showing he does not have financial obligations or ties to Russia. Given Donald Trump will not release his tax returns or otherwise prove his independence, the FBI should launch an investigation to ensure that the Republican nominee for President is not compromised by financial or other obligations to the Russian government.
