And the leaks start:The goal of the financial inquiry is to understand the nature of any financial ties Mr. Trump may have to foreign interests, including Russia, and to determine to what extent, if at all, Mr. Trump or his associates have investments that may be tied to the Russian government, people with knowledge of the inquiry said.
In the weeks before President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, a federal investigation into potential collusion between Trump associates and the Russian government was heating up, as Mr. Comey became increasingly occupied with the probe.
Mr. Comey started receiving daily instead of weekly updates on the investigation, beginning at least three weeks ago, according to people with knowledge of the matter and the progress of the Federal Bureau of Investigation probe. Mr. Comey was concerned by information showing potential evidence of collusion, according to these people.
One area of particular interest for the [Senate] committee is Mr. Trump’s business dealings. The Senate Intelligence Committee has asked for information from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, a division of the Treasury Department.
There currently are 11 congressional staff working on the Senate probe, a number that some lawmakers have said publicly isn’t enough to handle the voluminous intelligence reporting and leads that have been generated by the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency.

Republicans next week: OK, so there was a bit of "collusion". So what? What is collusion anyway?
Another article in the WSJ quotes a senior FBI souce saying Trump's claim he'd been told three times he isn't being investigated is "completely farcical nonsense". Comey barred by law from even discussing the case with Trump.
Also, too:
After President Trump accused his predecessor in March of wiretapping him, James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, was flabbergasted. The president, Mr. Comey told associates, was “outside the realm of normal,” even “crazy.”

WASHINGTON
The FBI-led probe into whether Russian influence operations helped put Donald Trump in the White House is on a knife’s edge and could easily veer into either of two distinct directions.
One possibility is that investigators will feel galvanized by President Donald Trump’s abrupt firing of FBI director James Comey and burrow ever deeper into a probe in which they see the reputation of the bureau at stake.
Or, with the FBI temporarily rudderless, Trump loyalists in the Justice Department could put the brakes on the investigation in multiple ways.
“They could just say, ‘We’ve got 60 days to tie this up. I’m not spending more person power inside the bureau. . . . Let’s just say wrap it up unless we’ve got a smoking gun,’ ” said Christopher H. Schroeder, a former assistant attorney general who headed the Office of Legal Policy.

You're an intelligent guy, Walrus. We all know it's not going to destroy any information. But it derails any momentum the investigation may have had, and it sends a message to whoever occupies the post next. I really don't get it. Some of you guys would rather go down with the burning ship than admit it's burning. This one smells bad no matter whether you stand upwind, downwind, whatever.
You just better hope trump doesn't mind bailing out Puerto Rico. Ps could you repeat that intelligent guy line loud enough so my wife can hear you.

Pretty funny, the new FBI director just rebunked Trump claims that there was no investigation him and even said that COmey 1) had full support from the other folks in the organisation (opposite to what Trump claimed) AND that there was a VERY significative investigation in course https://www.usnews.com/news/politics...ms-about-comey
Trump fails.. agail.
