The president and his companies have been linked to at least 10 wealthy former Soviet businessmen with alleged ties to criminal organizations or money laundering.

Senate Intelligence Committee Leaders Vow Thorough Russian Investigation

Yes.

And our system of checks and balances will be put to test. McCain and Graham I am sure will be watching this carefully and Trump now will be paying the price for dissing those two. McConnel is a survivor and I doubt if he will be running interference for Trump. Nunes can put both hands in his pockets and play with himself.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Representative Devin Nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told reporters on Wednesday that he just spent several days alone in his apartment holding hearings on President Donald J. Trump’s ties to Russia and that those hearings “went really great.”

“Having concluded several days of hearings on my own in my apartment, I am one hundred per cent satisfied that the President had no involvement with the Russians,” Nunes said. “Now it’s time to move on.”

While Nunes would not reveal who testified at the hearings in his apartment, he called their testimony “credible and productive.”

“I didn’t know what to expect when the hearings started, but, take my word for it, they were really, really good,” he said.

The disclosure that Nunes had conducted the Russia hearings alone in his apartment drew howls of protest from Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee. “No one on the committee was invited to these hearings,” Schiff said. “I can’t believe that Devin keeps trying to get away with this crap.”

Nunes, however, pushed back against Schiff’s rebuke. “If Adam had ever seen my apartment, he would know there was not enough room to fit the whole committee in there,” he said.

After speaking to reporters, Nunes headed to the White House, where Trump presented him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The Latest: Senator tells intel panel to 'follow the money'

Quote:
Sen. Ron Wyden is imploring the Senate intelligence committee to "follow the money" on Russia.
And here is a wow!
Quote:
Clint Watts is with the Foreign Policy Research Institute Program on National Security. Watts suggested that the committee also "follow the dead bodies."

Watts says several Russians tied to the investigation into Kremlin disinformation activities have been killed in the past three months — not only in Russia, but in western countries as well.

Morever, they're investigating Russian financing and orchestrating of fake news. Notable is that they're not investigating Trump (and Whell's) version of fake news, the NYTimes or the WashPost.
