    She pled guilty to acting as a foreign agent in December 2018, but she was meeting with Obama's people back in 2015.

    What could the Senators be interested in finding?

    The inquiry is bipartisan, so don't try to claim it's tit for tat.

    Why does everything fishy have a tie to Nixon? Shouldn't any connection to that guy be a giant red flag in politics?

    But yes, please investigate.

    The Center for the National Interest, who set up these meetings, was formerly known as the Nixon Center. It was set up in the early 1990's right before Nixon died by a bunch of his cabinet members.

    Interesting could this have been part of obama’s Kick back to Putin when he promised to be more flexible during the 2012 election?

    I understand, but this meeting is Obama's people meeting with Russian.

    I think these Russians are trying to establish a Second Amendment movement in Russia, and they are trying to recruit American dollars but I am not totally sure about it.
