This Week in the Trump – Russia Investigation. 8/26/17.

Politico: “Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Saturday that President Donald Trump's pardon of former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio could reverberate in the Russia investigation … Trump-aligned witnesses might be inclined to not cooperate with investigators, since the president has shown his willingness to pardon allies.” The pardon may also be a test to see how the country reacts to an egregious pardon. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/26/schiff-trump-arpaio-pardon-russia-probe-242067
