15. Sounds like a mostly IC/FBI crew they're putting together

who know the territory, and are running with what was already underway.
Sounds efficient in time and resources.

16. This is very encouraging news!

It's ALL about the money. Speaking of which, how about those TAX RETURNS PLEASE!!

Here's a thought: Who is under IRS audit for years on end?

Possible answers: 1) No one, it's a smokescreen to avoid scrutiny of his links to Russian money; and/or 2) Extremely shady people, where the more you dig, the more you find. You know, like is happening with all these Russian investigations!

I'm glad Weissman has joined the team!
