Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has taken the unusual step of questioning Russian oligarchs who traveled into the US, stopping at least one and searching his electronic devices when his private jet landed at a New York area airport, according to multiple sources familiar with the inquiry.
A second Russian oligarch was stopped during a recent trip to the US, although it is not clear if he was searched, according to a person briefed on the matter. Mueller's team has also made an informal voluntary document and interview request to a third Russian oligarch who has not traveled to the US recently.
The situations have one thing in common: Investigators are asking whether wealthy Russians illegally funneled cash donations directly or indirectly into Donald Trump's presidential campaign and inauguration.

“I need to see your International Brotherhood of Oligarchs membership card, sir”
Does Mueller even realize that there are about 4 million former Russian citizens living happily in the USA? And some are a bit upset how they’re being demonized?
The way Mueller acts you’d think these were people sneaking out from behind the Iron Triangle or sumthin’
+1
Um...any day now.
There we go.
We should feel lucky America doesn’t have any of these “oligarchs”.
I would imagine he’ll move on to Turkish busboys and Nepalese insurance salesman next.
Mueller is rapidly making himself into a terrorist, and a national security problem.
I agree.
What gives him the authority to illegally detain and search people who happen to be visiting from Russia?
The State Department should shut this shit show down like right now.
I would think that Russian Oligarchs and sinister businessmen have their own way of taking care of people who intrude into their private matters.
I bet Yakov has some good jokes about this Russia, Russia, Russia crap.
$145 million paid to the Clinton Foundation by the Russians as a “gift” for 20% of American uranium.
Why don’t you check on THAT, Mueller?
Or that’s right....you would implicate YOURSELF, because you were involved in Uranium One up to your eyeballs.
Is Mueller planting fake evidence on those laptops?
I wouldn’t be surprised.
Mueller heads up the deep state Stazsi...he’ll bust your door down at 4AM if he feels like it.
Trump isn’t gonna stop him either.
That Clinton has Teflon in her pantsuit. It is such a disgrace. President Trump will NEVER go after her or Obama and yet they are both behind the destruction of his Presidency by the useful b*tch Mueller.
Why would you believe anything the Russians said?
This time he is. His ship is sinking and he is running out of dry space.
Maybe he should look at how Hillary got such donations (graft) so he would know what to look for....
Mueller has two aces in the hole: Sessions and Rosenstein. Mueller’s anti-Trump report due ~July doesn’t mark the end of the witch hunt by any means. It’s just an opportunity to hurt Trump while allowing the never-ending fishing expedition to continue to cripple Trump’s first two years. If Sessions, Rosenstein and Mueller can flip the House in November, they win.
Yep but they are not really aces in the hole. This is beyond politics and the US Military is the ultimate arbiter here. Gitmo is being prepared to receive large numbers of US political figures for trial by military tribunal. It really does not matter what these political kabuki theater players try to do. We need a civil war anyway because things are just not fixable.
