Yes, that is a happy turn of events, with things slowly and finely grinding our way...

Found this highlighted in the current bread...
This talks about over a year ago, but relevant. (Nader)

We seem to be edging closer to the day we will *know* which

Trump demands investigation into FBI, Obama administration over use of informant

President Donald Trump announced on Twitter Sunday afternoon
that he was planning to officially demand an investigation
into the FBI, Department of Justice, and Obama
administration on Monday, following reports that the FBI
used an informant to investigate Russian contacts within the
Trump campaign. If Trump follows through and orders the DOJ
on Monday to launch an investigation, it would force the
Justice Department to decide whether to follow Trump’s
order, and could severely inflame tensions around the
presidency and Russia investigation.

“I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that
the Department of Justice look into whether or not the
FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for
Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests
were made by people within the Obama Administration!” he
Tweeted. The message followed string of earlier Tweets
attacking Robert Mueller’s investigation, criticizing the
cost of the ongoing probe into his campaign’s potential
collusion with Russia. The last message also marked a
possible turning point in Trump’s online criticism of the
Justice Department if he does, in fact, ask the DOJ to
investigate the FBI or the Obama administration on Monday.

Following the release of a New York Times report on Saturday
alleging that Donald Trump Jr. had met with an emissary for
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates during the 2016
campaign, Trump lashed out against the “long & boring story”
on Twitter and asked when the “world’s most expensive witch
hunt” would finally “STOP.”

“Things are really getting ridiculous. The Failing and
Crooked (but not as Crooked as Hillary Clinton) @nytimes has
done a long & boring story indicating that the World’s most
expensive Witch Hunt has found nothing on Russia & me so now
they are looking at the rest of the World!” Trump tweeted
Sunday. “At what point does this soon to be $20,000,000
Witch Hunt, composed of 13 Angry and Heavily Conflicted
Democrats and two people who have worked for Obama for 8
years, STOP!” Trump added in a later tweet.

According to the New York Times report, Trump Jr. met with
George Nader in August 2016, during a meeting in which Nader
said that Saudi Arabia and the UAE were both eager to help
Trump win the presidency. The meeting, which the Times noted
has been a focus of Mueller’s probe, was also attended by
Erik Prince, a Republican donor and private security
contractor with ties to the Middle East, and Israeli social
media specialist Joel Zamel, whose firm specialized in
social media manipulation. The Times reported that Trump Jr.
responded “approvingly” to the nations’ offer to help the
campaign, and Nader was embraced as a “close ally” by the
campaign, suggesting that the campaign’s potential collusion
with foreign nations could have gone beyond Russia. It is
unknown, however, whether Nader’s proposal for Saudi Arabia
and the UAE to assist the Trump campaign was ultimately
executed.

In his Sunday tweets, the president then went on to
criticize the investigation for its bias toward Democrats,
questioning why the FBI had not looked into Hillary
Clinton’s emails and why Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta,
who is reportedly under investigation by Mueller for his
ties to former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, had not
yet been charged and arrested. “Now that the Witch Hunt has
given up on Russia and is looking at the rest of the World,
they should easily be able to take it into the Mid-Term
Elections where they can put some hurt on the Republican
Party,” Trump tweeted. “Don’t worry about Dems FISA Abuse,
missing Emails or Fraudulent Dossier!”

The Mueller investigation marked its one-year anniversary
this week, and despite Trump’s repeated claims it is no more
than a “witch hunt,” it has already resulted in nearly two
dozen indictments and several guilty pleas. It is unclear
where Trump’s specific $20 million price tag for the probe
comes from; according to a congressional budget cited by
Politico, Mueller’s team is spending approximately $10
million per fiscal year on the investigation.

TrumpWatch, Day 412: Mueller Investigating Seychelles
Meeting to Set Up Back Channel to Russia

Important Snippet Here:

The investigators have questioned George Nader, a Lebanese-
American businessman who was a back-channel negotiator with
Syria during President Bill Clinton’s administration. He
became an adviser to the de facto ruler of the United Arab
Emirates and last year was a frequent visitor to Trump’s
White House.
