Politico: Intelligence Committee will investigate possible Russia-Trump links
The Senate panel could use subpoenas to secure testimony from Obama officials and the Trump team.
Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said late Friday that his committee will investigate possible contacts between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia, reversing himself one day after telling reporters that the issue would be outside of his panel’s ongoing probe into Moscow’s election-disruption efforts.
Burr and the intelligence panel’s top Democrat, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, said in a joint statement that the committee's probe would touch on "intelligence regarding links between Russia and individuals associated with political campaigns" as well as Russian cyberattacks and other election meddling outlined in an intelligence report released last week.

Ok. perhaps. but then who is "some" who will do that---Trump people? Intel folks? Congress? etc.

Comey is without a doubt a man of personal integrity, but over the past six months, he has shown repeatedly that his perception of his skill at managing high-profile political investigations vastly exceeds his actual ability. He improperly inserted himself into the 2016 campaign twice, first in July when he violated Department of Justice rules to pass judgment on Hillary Clinton’s conduct, and then again in October when he violated further Justice guidelines to comment on an ongoing case during the waning days of a campaign.
At the same time as Comey was publicly maligning Clinton, he was refusing to answer questions from Congress about whether the FBI was investigating Trump (it was), all while sources within the bureau were repeatedly leaking damaging information about Clinton. Furthermore, Comey in October refused to sign an assessment by other members of the intelligence community finding that the Russian government had intervened in the election — a fact with obvious relevance to the electorate. These issues together had already cast doubt on the FBI’s ability conduct a fair investigation into Donald Trump under the current chain of command. The fact that Comey will now be leading the probe while under investigation himself make it completely untenable."

McCarthyism was the smearing, blacklisting, compromising and persecution of the Unionists, Civil Rights, Intellectuals, Peace Activists, Hollywood, Left of Far Right, Wilsonian Realists in State, former Socialists and Communists, and early Environmentalists, as Soviet Agents.
Investigations into Russian interference in the US Presidential Election, and Trump and his Administration's possible conflicts of interest in regards to Russia, and his campaigns possible cooperation and coordination with Russian interference in the Elections, isn't the same thing.
Tillerson stands to make $21 billion if Russian Sanctions are lifted.
