So the WH has placed a gag order on Bannon. Why, exactly, would they do that if this whole Russia thing is “fake news”? Whell? Zero?

National security.

Has Trump taken credit yet for the Koreas combined Winter Olympics team?

'FBI investigating whether Russian money went to NRA to help Trump'

"The FBI is investigating whether a top Russian banker with ties to the Kremlin illegally funneled money to the National Rifle Association to help Donald Trump win the presidency, two sources familiar with the matter have told McClatchy.
FBI counterintelligence investigators have focused on the activities of Alexander Torshin, the deputy governor of Russia’s central bank who is known for his close relationships with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and the NRA, the sources said.
It is illegal to use foreign money to influence federal elections.
It’s unclear how long the Torshin inquiry has been ongoing, but the news comes as Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s sweeping investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, including whether the colluded with Trump’s campaign, has been heating up."

So, the uber-patriotic NRA was in bed with the Russians to elect Lying Donnie Dotard? It'll be fun to watch Wayne LaPierre join Jared, Junior, and the rest of the Trump crime family in their perp walk.
