Albert Hunt, Bloomberg: The Trump-Russia Probe Is About to Get Uglier
Unpleasant facts are spilling out. Republicans don't want to know them.
Here are two certainties about the Trump-Russia investigation. It won't end soon. It will get uglier.
A new shoe drops almost daily in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe. First, Former national security adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying and agreed to cooperate. Then the White House changed its story (again) on what President Donald Trump knew after he was first advised in January that Flynn posed security problems.
Last week came news that Mueller had subpoenaed financial records from Deutsche Bank pertaining to people affiliated with Trump.

WNU Editor: What's my take. Albert Hunt from Bloomberg believes that more damaging information will soon be coming out. I personally doubt it. If there was a smoking gun it would have been revealed a long time ago. As for Alexander Mercouris' post at The Duran. He believes that a case can be made that the FBI has mishandled this entire investigation, and that the real investigation should be focused on the Russian dossier (that was paid for by the Clinton team) and was it used in obtaining warrants to spy on Trump officials. As of this writing .... the official line is that no one is going to comment on this until the Inspector General's report has been completed. In short .... Alexander Mercouris is going to have to wait a long before he gets his answers.
