OK, have a theory...or conspiracy theory.

I believe there are at least two, maybe three GOP Congressman who are linked to this Russia-gate. That is why they are fighting to not use a Special Investigator whom they will not be able to control.

I would start by investigating Chaffetz and a few others who were foaming at the mouth about Hillary and who insisted that they would continue investigating here even if she were elected POTUS.

Financial ties to others with other who have direct ties to Russian players, stocks with companies connected to Tillerson and oil drilling in the arctic, direct and indirect ties to Russian businesses (that includes links to the Ukraine etc.). An Independent Counsel to look into these several Congressmen set up by Democrats would be the thing IF they could find any in the Intel community who could be trusted.

I just feel it in my bones that there are at least three or four key Congressional players who have indirect or direct ties to Russian-gate players.

1. I have suspected that myself for some time.

I would take a look at least as deep as the four people under Ryan that could get the presidency if the top 3 were to disappear. I would also have a look at all of the Goldman Sachs that he has put into his cabinet. That is just my opinion though.

2. Roy Blunt

Please let it be.

3. There are definitely people in Congress that know what is going on.

Given the fact that Chaffetz and Rand Paul are refusing to investigate regardless of whether or not wrongdoing is apparent leads me to believe they know something and could be compromised themselves.

Paul in particular has had taken some rather schizophrenic positions on Russia in the past:

Remember, Russia didn't just start their espionage with this election. They've been cultivating assets and recruiting for a long time. It would not surprise me if several Congresspersons were found to be compromised.
