I would like them to follow the money, especially since Russian money is fucking up New York City.
Russian money instead of building Irkutsk, is spent building and renovating cities like New York, Miami, LA.
It is time to close down the flow from Russia.

Isn't FBI looking into Trump and his minions' connections to Russia and Putin?
I saw this on the comment section of one of the major newspapers.
"Tinkle, tinkle little czar
Putin put you where you are"

That would entail cutting off the head of the Russian oligarchic/klepto snake, Vlad Putin.
In light of recent protests in Russia, is the time coming for the people to take back power from the kleptocrats?

WASHINGTON — A pair of White House officials played a role in providing Representative Devin Nunes of California, a Republican and the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, with the intelligence reports that showed that President Trump and his associates were incidentally swept up in foreign surveillance by American spy agencies...
Mr. Cohen-Watnick is a former Defense Intelligence Agency official who was originally brought to the White House by Michael T. Flynn, the former national security adviser. The officials said that this month, shortly after Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter about being wiretapped on the orders of President Barack Obama, Mr. Cohen-Watnick began reviewing highly classified reports detailing the intercepted communications of foreign officials.

Well, surprise, surprise. Of course, Sean Spicer denied this a few days ago, but in today's news conference he invited members of the House Intelligence Committee up to the White House to view these materials.

The oligarchs brought Vlad to power. Vlad in turn forced them to pay taxes.
Vlad understands what he is up against. He easily understood and contained the more ominous 2011 protests.
Anyhow, note in response, the absence of militarized, mechanized police.
And BTW, now--NGOs have to be very transparent.

What it amounts to is that a lawyer in the NSC who was hired by Flynn (and who the current NSA wanted to fire, but was forced to retain by Trump) and a lawyer who previously worked for Nunes immediately started researching intelligence files to provide some sort of cover for Trump's silly wiretap tweet and Nunes acted as his errand boy to concoct some silly story about how he got the info. Nunes has lied several times saying that nobody on the White House staff had anything to do with this info.
It is becoming increasingly clear that this was a CYA effort that included the chair of a House oversight committee who is responsible for investigating Trump and Russia. Keep in mind that Trump said two weeks ago that some new information was going to be revealed in the next couple of weeks. The bottom line - It appears like Trump and his minions on the NSC/White House staff orchestrated this entire charade and used the House Intelligence Chair in the process.

According to Rawstory, referring to counter-terrorism expert Clinton Watts, Russian Trolls are still flooding twitter with fake news. They focus on times when Trump regularly uses twitter, because he is a reliable spreader of fake news.

I really hope the Senate Intelligence Committee lives up to it's billing.
So far, it's looking good.
