Looks like Congress doesn't have to investigate. Russia is providing us with the proof that we need to invalidate the election, or at least, to impeach Trump.

GREEN BAY — County websites of the Democratic Party in the area have been under attack, at least one apparently by Russian hackers, an officer of the party said.

What appears to have been Russian hackers compromised the website of the 8th Congressional District Democratic Party as well as the sites of seven county Democratic party organizations, said Mary Ginnebaugh, who chairs the congressional district as well as the Brown County Democratic parties.

Russian hackers have been accused on the national level with interfering with the U.S. presidential election by getting into the Democratic National Committee’s website as well as that of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Washington.

While no one can prove beyond doubt that Russians also were involved in the local hack job, two hackers left “calling cards” with Russian email addresses on the local websites in an apparent gesture of contempt or braggadocio, Ginnebaugh said. Green Bay police were notified and have forwarded information to the FBI, she said.

I am reading "The Plot to Hack America" by Malcolm Nance. This jives so well with what he writes about!
People really need to wake up! Trump needs to go (probably to prison)

They were our eyes and ears in the enemy cyber-war camp. Flynn toasted them as a result of information he was given as he came up to speed in his new job.
