Robert Mueller's Team Reportedly Interviewed Facebook Staff As Part of Russia Probe (thehill.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Hill: Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has interviewed at least one Facebook employee tasked with helping the Trump campaign's digital operations during the 2016 campaign, Wired reported on Friday. The report, which cited a source familiar with the matter, does not say when the employee was questioned nor does it detail the focus of the interview. Mueller's team has been investigating for months any collusion between Trump campaign associates and Russia. During the election, Facebook deployed employees to embed with the Trump campaign to assist its digital operations. The company also worked with Hillary Clinton's campaign team but did not have employees embedded with them. The company has also been scrutinized by Congress for selling more than 3,000 ads to the Internet Research Agency, a Russian "troll farm" alleged to have carried out misinformation operations online during the campaign.

He has 0/10ths because there was never anything to find.

There have already been four arrests and two convictions. That happened in record time for this kind of investigation. There will be a parade of people flipping on Trump before this is over, and it's nowhere near over.

Hell, Trump's own lawyer, Don McGahn has made the entire case for criminal obstruction just in the past few days. And Mueller is ignoring all the baiting and trolling by Trump and quietly and methodically building a case. For someone with nothing to hide, Trump is sure trying his best to hide, cover up his tracks and derail the investigation. It's no longer some case of "maybe he obstructed and maybe he didn't". There's a clear pattern of him trying to stop the investigation in which he is the primary target. The closer we get to the 2018 election, the more you'll see Republicans in congress start to wet themselves. You're already seeing all sorts of "secret society" conspiracy theories and calls for some made up "memo" to be released to try to derail the investigation, all of which never amount to anything. Remember, these are the same members of congress who couldn't even make a case against Hillary stick and they threw absolutely everything at her. We may still see some sitting members of Congress indicted for obstruction of justice along with Trump.

I'm going to look back and miss the excitement of 2018.
