Right wing militias.

They intimidate the government. Poroshenko is scared stiff.

"Special counsel Robert Mueller is bolstering his team of U.S. investigators probing possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, adding a top Justice Department official who’s been overseeing corporate fraud and foreign-bribery investigations, as well as a former law-firm colleague, according to people familiar with the matter.

Justice Department fraud chief Andrew Weissmann is the most senior government lawyer to join Mueller, the former Federal Bureau of Investigation director who became special counsel on May 17, said two people, who asked not to be named discussing a personnel matter that hasn’t been made public.

Mueller also recently brought on Jeannie Rhee, according to two people. Rhee, a partner in the investigations practice at his former law firm, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr LLP, previously worked in a Justice Department office that gives legal advice to the White House.
Weissmann and Rhee join a growing team that includes Peter Carr, a veteran spokesman for the Justice Department who will deal with the news media, and two former Wilmer partners, Aaron Zebley and James Quarles.

As the head of the fraud section in the Obama administration, Weissmann’s specialties have included overseeing investigations into corporate wrongdoing and foreign corruption -- including probes into Volkswagen AG over diesel-cheating, global banks over market manipulation and Brazil’s state-owned oil company Petrobras over corrupt payments. He also started a pilot program that offered companies incentives to self-report possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits bribing foreign officials." Bloomberg

I'd suppose that would depend on who you ask, one person's militant is another's patriot.
I seriously doubt the Ukrainians want the Russians to save them from themselves.

Indeed. For starters, subpoena Trump's tax returns, and find all the connections to Russian money. It was a great joy when my corrupt billionaire CEO went to jail; it will bring me far greater pleasure to see Trump do the perp walk.

He won't. Not as long as the gerrymandered republicans districts are in place. Republicans are as corrupt as the day is long. They embrace corruption as long as it's within their own party. All of their complaints about Obama corruption... mere projections of their own corruption. The GOP is so corrupt they just assume everyone else is also corrupt. If electoral districts weren't gerrymandered the GOP wouldn't win any elections.

Putin Hints at U.S. Election Meddling by ‘Patriotically Minded’ Russians

MOSCOW — Shifting from his previous blanket denials, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia said on Thursday that “patriotically minded” private Russian hackers could have been involved in cyberattacks last year to help the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump.

That's a new term, Russian Patriots. same as Putin henchmen? The levy seems to be starting to break. This sounds like Putin knows something about the FBI investigation and it is getting closer to home.

Similar to the volunteers that have been fighting in the Ukraine?

Actually, this is big. The is Putin not exactly admitting he did it, but definitely admitting it was done.
