I'm happy to see that Hillary is adding her voice to this.

Hillary Clinton appears to have backed a call for a full investigation into Russian meddling in the election.
The President candidate retweeted a message calling for the FBI and other intelligence agencies to launch a full investigation, from a politician who has said that reports of Donald Trump's ties to the kremlin "should concern all Americans".
"The intelligence community concluded the Russians will interfere again," wrote Adam Schiff, the most senior Democrat who sits on the House Intelligence Committee. "This is why full investigation is important to country. Please stop."
Mr Schiff's "please stop" message was apparently addressed to Donald Trump, who has repeatedly criticised attempts to have the Russian meddling in the investigation looked into.

(34,661 posts)NBC/MSNBC/Comcast as well as CBS will establish some Narrative about Clinton e-mail investigation. And then FOX will become the reliable source . The Corporate Structure of the US knows we are in Watergate 2.0 with more serious fall out for them. Watch for spin from hell.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) Wednesday asked the leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee to investigate the relationship between President Donald Trump and the Russian government.
It is incumbent upon the Congress to take seriously its constitutional responsibilities. The American people must have confidence that governmental decisions reflect their interests, not that of a foreign government. A robust investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee is critical to restoring that confidence, Sanders wrote in the letter to Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the chairman and ranking member, respectively, of the intelligence panel.
The U.S. intelligence community has concluded that Russia played an active role in the 2016 election with the goal of electing Trump as president. Additionally, multiple media outlets reported last week that U.S. intelligence services have verified portions of a dossier that alleges that Russian agents hold damaging evidence about Trumps past personal and business dealings that could possibly make Trump susceptible to blackmail.
There also have been reports that the Trump administrations contacts with the Russian government are having both a chilling effect in the intelligence community and jeopardizing longstanding relationships with our allies.
Throughout his campaign, and continuing to today, President Trump has refused to come clean with the American people about the nature and extent of his relationship with Russia, Sanders wrote/.
Every day that President Trump and his team dodge these questions, and every time their previous denials are revealed as false, that confidence is further diminished.
