What Happened To The Trump Collusion Investigation?.....

Did it go underground or has the MSM just tired of it?

It seems to have died on the vine as the only talk of the last couple of weeks was the Repug healthcare bill, Trump's tweets and his trip abroad.

I'm hoping that Mueller is hard at work getting to the bottom of the Trump's team treason and Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Has there been any recent and new breaking news accounts of this investigation that I may have missed?

1. Heard something just now on radio version of MSNBC

so I don't know who was talking, but they said something to the effect that if they were able to disclose what they know and what they've seen about the Russia hacks, everyone would want the investigation to continue because it's very big and very serious, and the investigation will continue no matter what.

Sometimes things move along quietly but that doesn't mean they aren't moving.

Said he was working with Mike Flynn. Intel sources say IC has intercepted communication of Russian hackers trying to figure out the best way to get info to Mike Flynn. Maybe you saw that article.

Anyway I posted an op-ed that connects the dots:

"NY Magazine: "Now We Have a Road Map to the Trump Campaigns Collusion With Russia"

My excerpting is bad. Def read the whole thing if you have time

For more background see

"The Time I Got Recruited to Collude with the Russians" by Matt Tait. Mentioned in op-ed

I can only assume that still waters run deep. Also, remembert that this crazed president obsesses over the media. Silence is a good thing.

First, a lot of dirt is thrown around while pilings are sunk for stability, parking space is dug out, etc. Then come the materials. Truck after truck brings steel beams, supports, flooring, and so forth. FROM THE OUTSIDE, IT LOOKS LIKE NOT MUCH IS HAPPENING. But suddenly, the girders are craned up and the *real* work gets going. Soon, it looks like a building...

The depth and breadth of the investigations underway....

Each has their area of expertise....
From RICO to Watergate to Russian Language to Constitutional law to appellate law...& about 9-10 more ....

In this case, Collusion is a tangled web of well coordinated unlawful acts, designed to collectively achieve the common goal of benefitting a foreign government.
