Warner sees fire in Russia probe

Source: Axios




Mike Allen Jim VandeHei 4 hrs ago

Robert Mueller isn't the only one hot on the trail of the Russians' election interference and Facebook manipulation.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), vice chair of the Intelligence Committee, tells us that based on witness testimony and documents that he has seen behind closed doors, the Russia probe is "the most important thing I will ever work on."

In TV interviews over the past year, Warner has been candid as he vacillated between thinking there's more smoke or more fire. Now, he clearly sees fire.

The committee plans to go hard after Facebook to cough up more about Russia-sponsored ads, and after Trump's inner circle to spill more about connections to Putin people.

frightening. Joy Reid used the term Putinization of our democracy and that is exactly what has been happening before our very eyes. It also seems that after every contact dotard has with Putin there is a change in propaganda strategy, and a new assault on our democracy. In the new tax bill dotard is creating his own brand of oligarchs. He already has his own tv station that will never expose evidence that he is an agent of Russian intelligence. That is much worse than mere collusion.
