From a friend on the inside who asked me to post this far and wide...states the obvious

"Can a new FBI director influence the Russia-trump investigation?"

WRONG QUESTION!

When FBI agent Robert Hanssen (look him up) was being investigated as a mole (spying for the Russians for over two decades), it was FBI Director Louis Freeh, *personally*, who was leading the investigation in the end. Trust me. It was that important, and it deserved that level of leadership.

So the question is not "IF" firing James Comey will influence the investigation, or "if" the career investigators will be influenced by Comey's firing. The investigation HAS ALREADY been influenced by trump's decision to fire him.

Trump has interfered with the investigation of Russian influences in the election and whether there was collusion between the trump campaign and the Russians.

IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED!

4. Yes! My thoughts exactly. All the Repubs in Congress that let this happen...

need to be OUSTED from their jobs and replaced with honorable public servants who will protect our democracy and protect us from dictatorship.

5. "Obstructed" is the the correct word to use here. Trump has obstructed the investigation of Russian

interference in the 2016 election. I'm waiting for enough congress people and senators to employ that word.

"Interfered" is a weasel word I'd expect TV news people to use it in order to avoid litigation. There's no reason for the rest of us to do so.
