The 270 people connected to the Russia probes

A POLITICO analysis of court documents, congressional letters, public testimony and media reports reveals that the investigations into the 2016 election and its aftermath now involve hundreds of people in Washington, Moscow and around the world.

Some names sound familiar, like Stephen Bannon and Donald Trump Jr., but most don’t. Taken together, they illuminate the way federal investigators are assembling the pieces of the Russia puzzle.

will ever lead to the states that stole the election for the maggot. It would be negligent to never bother to look at or question the outcome of an obviously fraudulent election.

It's time to start questioning the vote count.

hillary is "connected" because emails got stolen, and obama is "connected" because he imposed sanctions in response to russian manipulation of our election.

Some are victims or affected by the investigations. There are also people who are investigating or contributing to the investigation. Its pretty complex.

"One" being "me." When this all started, I thought it might extend no farther than the inner circle of campaign strategists, advisers and the like. Turns out, they have one hell of a depth chart.
