text: With President Trump now on record having asked then FBI Director Comey to forgo investigating Mike Flynn and his foreign contacts there is a legitimate concern that the Russian connection goes all the way to the very top echelons of the White House. With Robert Mueller now appointed Special Counsel, the Russian hacking investigation and its involvement with the Trump campaign as well as any other illegal activity can now proceed. An independent inquiry, capable of filing charges, is warranted and should begin ASAP before more firings occur and crucial evidence is compromised. Opening this can of worms might just make some powerful people squirm.
