The many ways Trump has tried to intervene in the Russia investigation, in one chart

3. The chart only skims the surface of how far Trump's tentacles have spread in

a deliberate effort to obstruct justice. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) is omitted entirely, and he tried to mislead the investigation and divert public scrutiny off into the weeds chasing a fake story. McConnell and Ryan have also tried to muddy the waters, delaying and slow-walking the investigations. There are many other Republican politicians, rightwing news outlets, pundits and commentators who have engaged in an obviously well coordinated effort to discredit the investigation into Trump's illegal connections with Russia.

Looking at the number of known agencies and top tier government heads that Trump has already tried to influence, it's likely that there are other other agencies and lower level people involved as well. The question is; how many of them has Trump actually convinced to lie for him?
