If the Trump team manages to prove that the information on the presidents associates was obtained and disseminated illegally, will it deal a blow to FBI Director James Comey's inquiry

into non-existent "collusion" between Trump's team and Russia? "I am told that the FBI and other security agencies (as well as portions of the military) have been

infected with political partisans. In essence, there are at least three camps: objective law and order types who ignore politics, Obama/Clinton operatives, and Bush operatives," Ortel

responded. "For many reasons, I believe Comey is on shaky ground virtually with all camps and likely with the Trump Administration. For the sake of public integrity, and so that we do

examine the record fairly, he and his deputy McCabe should both resign, and replacements should get appointed who are drawn, in proven ways, from the apolitical, law and order camp,"

the Wall Street analyst said. "Then, ideally using existing wheels of Justice, Congress, and the global (not American or western alone) media, let's find out what really happened,

including whether elected US officials attempted to interfere in the 2016 US election," he highlighted. Meanwhile, citing two officials familiar with the matter, the Wall Street Journal

reported Tuesday that the House Intelligence Committee wants Susan Rice to testify in an inquiry of alleged Russian election interference, "as the investigation widens to include

allegations that Obama officials improperly used intelligence information involving President Donald Trump or his associates." For its part, the Senate Intelligence Committee signaled

on the same day that it is not ruling out interviewing Rice over reports that she sought to have the identities of Trump's transition team unmasked, The Washington Post wrote. "If

the reports are right, then she will be of interest to us," Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said. _The views expressed in this article are solely those of
