Indeed he is and that the point. He and Flynn provide the best avenue toward wholesale prosecution of the extended Trump crime family and their illicit dealings with Russia. Pass the popcorn.

Been on vay-kay for a while. Having a very hard time getting back into giving a $hit!

But here it goes.....

One either already has a feeling where this will end or does not.

Them who want an investigation with real answers have a good feeling of just what is to come. The others don't care, at all no matter what it is.

Those who are in the "witch hunt" camp don't want to know. Gives them headaches to consider anything to conflict with their world view, like facts.....

The batch of more than 3,000 Russian-bought ads that Facebook is preparing to turn over to Congress shows a deep understanding of social divides in American society, with some ads promoting African-American rights groups including Black Lives Matter and others suggesting that these same groups pose a rising political threat, say people familiar with the covert influence campaign.

The Russian campaign — taking advantage of Facebook’s ability to simultaneously send contrary messages to different groups of users based on their political and demographic characteristics -- also sought to sow discord among religious groups. Other ads highlighted support for Democrat Hillary Clinton among Muslim women.

These targeted messages, along with others that have surfaced in recent days, highlight the sophistication of an influence campaign slickly crafted to mimic and infiltrate U.S. political discourse while also seeking to heighten tensions between groups already wary of one another.

The IRS is now sharing information on Trump campaign associates with Robert Mueller's special counsel office, including former campaign manager Paul Manafort and former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

CNN reported on Tuesday that the agency is providing documents to Mueller's prosecutors as the team goes back through 11 years of files to investigate possible financial crimes.

It's as if Trump and his minions continue to work with Putin's trolls.

Twitter has shut down 201 accounts that were tied to the same Russian operatives who posted thousands of political ads on Facebook, the company told congressional investigators Thursday and revealed in a blog in the afternoon.

The company also found three accounts from the news site RT — which Twitter linked to the Kremlin — that spent $274,100 in ads on Twitter’s platform in 2016.
