Russia didn't want Mitt Romney as Secretary of State so Trump picked Tillerson instead.

It makes you wonder what else Trump is required to run past Putin before he's allowed to do it.

... and don't forget it was Manafort who manipulated Trump into picking Pence for V.P.

Trump's entire cabinet is filled with people with Russia connections. I wouldn't be surprised if Putin reviewed all of his picks.

trump picked Tillerson??? More likely a Putin choice since Tillerson was known to him as Exxon's Man in Russia.

Never in my life did I ever think something like this was possible in the U.S.

But, but, but, but...Steele is just a DNC lackey!

For those who might be interested in reading the original New Yoker article, here is the link:

Christopher Steele, the Man Behind the Trump Dossier

There also was this news over the weekend -- even Fox news seems to be taking it seriously (second link is to Fox):

Mueller’s Focus on Adviser to Emirates Suggests Broader Investigation

George Nader in spotlight amid Mueller probe: Who is he? | Fox News

Of course, the only person who knows where the investigation is headed is Mueller, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if this turns out to be about MUCH MORE than just the 2016 election and the current administration.

And, the investigation is definitely about much more than the Steele Dossier.
