Senate subcommittee to launch Russian interference probe

http://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/317622-sen-judiciary-launches-russian-election-interference-investigation

A Senate subcommittee is launching an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and how to prevent similar attacks in the future, subcommittee leaders announced Thursday.

The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism probe will be the second lawmaker investigation into the Kremlin's attempts to influence the election.

“Our goal is simple — to the fullest extent possible we want to shine a light on Russian activities to undermine democracy," committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Ranking Member Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said in a joint written statement.

Graham hates Trump.


It's also interesting that today McCain took two actions against Trump. See http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=8585461

McCain and Graham are buddies. I think they are taking concerted action to go after the Orange One.
