Thank you Daniel. As it turns out my difficulties were mostly being caused by the fact that I had some how "broken" my apt updates. I was playing around with backports in Debian 9.0 Stretch in order to properly download and install Tor-Browser-Launcher. I suspect that because Debian 9.0 is so new, the back-ports are still a bit flakey. Things are working now after a fresh re-install.
I appreciate your suggestion for setting up separate key repositories. I will use this method moving forward.
