The special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election is interviewing senior intelligence officials as part of a widening probe that now includes an examination of whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice, officials said.

The move by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III to investigate Trump’s own conduct marks a major turning point in the nearly year-old FBI investigation, which until recently focused on Russian meddling during the presidential campaign and on whether there was any coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Investigators have also been looking for any evidence of possible financial crimes among Trump associates, officials said.

But Paul Ryan said this is about Russia and is about to end quickly.

Unfortunately I agree. It’s disgusting how much Hilary and team got away with. How often they squashed investigations, and yet, here we are with an investigation on Trump for doing nothing but winning the election.

-- I'm inclined to think this story is legit. And timed to take attention away from the left-wing whacko who attacked Scalise and company... --

I agree. Also blown out of proportion - which is part of the election delegimization process.

[[This attack on President Trump is to cover Hillary and Podesta, who were money laundering with Russia Bank. WikiLeaks exposed the Podesta e mails. Podesta was on BOD of Russian Bank, no less.

So this is one of those transfer the guilt to Trump.]]

Bingo
He needs to go after them too

If DJT doesn’t kick Mueller’s ass out the door, he (and Sessions) will have given the enemy the rope they need to hang him with.

If Rosenstein approved the expansion of the investigation, he’s part of the problem.

Just as we all predicted here at FR.

What began as a Russian hacking, then leaking, then collusion, has now changed to Obstruction of Justice.

If Sessions/Trump don’t shut this Attempted Coup down right now, they aren’t as smart as we thought.

Don’t tell me, another “Anonymous source”?

How did you guess? Leaked to Washington Post, in fact. That's why it may not do any good to have Hillary or the DNC investigated. Is the FBI corrupt? Or is the deep state spying on the FBI?

Trump needs to fire Mueller and Sessions needs to resign. Trump needs to regain control of the Justice Department from the Democrats.

Yet another WaPo creation.. written by FOUR "journalists" this time. If the MSM wasn't so evil and sick it would almost be funny.

Of course now Congress will have to cook up another round of hearings, since it has now "been reported" that Trump did all this stuff.

Collusion with the Germans, eh? Figures they'd be in on WW III too.
