All together now: One shattering collective scream.

Political Wire: "Fewer FBI Agents Investigating Russia Than Clinton Emails"

“One source familiar with the Russia investigation resorted to a mathematical equation to divulge — sort of — the number of agents assigned to the matter,” CNN reports.

“It’s five to 10 fewer than were assigned to the Hillary Clinton email investigation, said the source, who is not authorized to speak publicly and did so on the condition of anonymity. There were about two dozen dedicated to that case, so that makes 15 to 20 on the Russia investigation.”

“The resources assigned to the Clinton investigation were in response to agents having to sort through a vast amount of electronic data in a finite period of time before the then-looming presidential election, the source said. With the Russia probe, there is no such time pressure and efforts are more focused on interviews with human sources.”

and de-staffing the entire government and its agencies.
In my opinion only, the next big one is coming.
another 911.
Because no one will know SHIT.
Which is how the asshole in chief operates.
No trail, no proof.
The spooks need to take him out.
