Infiltration of our government by Russia doesn't stop at Donald Trump.

That's why the Mueller investigation is taking so long. He could have nailed Trump on obstruction of justice last summer. The man basically admitted to it on national news. The problem is in what order they need to go after Ryan, McConnell, Pence, Nunes and all of the other Republicans who are also obstructing justice, have also taken dirty campaign money, and are also carrying water for the Russian government.
