The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating fake text messages sent to some House Republican lawmakers from someone impersonating a top aide to Vice President Mike Pence, WSJ reported. From the report: Several House Republicans have received the texts, and at least one member has been repeatedly engaging with the imposter, who posed as Alyssa Farah, Mr. Pence's press secretary and a former House staffer, one of the people said. A person familiar with the fake texts said the messages sought the whereabouts of certain lawmakers and their availability for meetings. Rep. Liz Cheney (R., Wyo.), the House Republican conference chairwoman, has been made aware of the fake texts and referred the matter to the House Sergeant at Arms office, a spokesman for Ms. Cheney said.

I'm glad Moscow Donald betrayed America, because uneducated racists will rule the world forever.
I'm not worried at all that Putin's puppet's co-conspirators are in jail, and that his many treasonous crimes are moving through the system.
In fact, support Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin shutting down the government in retaliation for Moscow Donald having been caught red handed committing high treason.
