"...Maddow explained there is plenty to suggest Trump could be under investigation now."
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/rachel-maddow-reveals-why-trump-was-not-under-investigation-then-but-he-might-be-now/MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow was quick to poke holes in the Republican Party talking points that former FBI Director James Comey confirmed that President Donald Trump was not under investigation. While Trump was not under investigation by Comey before he was fired, Maddow explained there is plenty to suggest Trump could be under investigation now.
Maddow showed the document ordering special prosecutor Robert Mueller and noted that his position allows him to investigate “any other matters that might arise from the Russia investigation.” One of those matters to surface has been the possible obstruction of justice by Trump for the conversation with Comey and the subsequent firing of Comey.
Mueller’s spokesperson refuses to comment on whether they are investigating Trump, however, Mueller just hired a prosecutor* who has experience in criminal obstruction of justice cases.
“We’re still pretty darn sure that’s what he’s working on,” Maddow said.

of Andrew Weissmann to his team of investigators is the final straw for Trump's financial ties to the Russians. The famous Watergate line, "follow the money" (even though it was never mentioned in the actual Watergate investigation) is the line of investigation that's going to sink Trump. 
Money - moved from shell company to shell company, then back again- is what Weissmann is a master of uncovering. I imagine Donnie Dipshit feels pretty safe and secure, knowing how Russians cover their tracks when it comes to illegal money laundering. Weissmann KNOWS how to uproot these nefarious tricks for hiding the origins of money. This isn't his first rodeo, and the orange shit-stain should be VERY worried now.
