A new wrinkle in the Russian investigation

Special council Robert Mueller has subpoenaed the Trump Organization for documents. He wants all documents related to the Russian investigation and other areas under his purview. There are questions being presented as to why he just didn't ask for them. That answer is simple. President Trump has not always been forth coming with the truth. He did not stop Kellyanne Conway from using the statement of alternative truths or facts in regards to his actions.  If there may be legal action, all documents must be given to the person in charge of investigation. That way they can not be altered or thrown away.

The Russian investigation is complicated. It is hard to keep up with who is involved and who is trying to hide their participation. The next to last link has a diagram of who is involved. The best one is the last link. It explains the whole investigation.

I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
