Special counsel Robert Mueller adds Russian-speaking attorney to Trump probe
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/special-counsel-robert-mueller-adds-russian-speaking-attorney-to-trump-probe/
Elizabeth Prelogar, an assistant to the solicitor general, is assisting deputy solicitor general Michael Dreeben in his part-time role on the special counsels team probing the Trump campaign, reported The National Law Journal.
Dreeben is considered the Justice Departments top criminal law expert, according to the publication, and his participation is seen as a sign that Mueller is investigating possible criminal violations by President Donald Trump or his associates.
Prelogar served as a law clerk to Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan, and she appears to speak fluent Russian, which she studied at Emory College.
She graduated from Harvard Law School in 2006 and was previously a Fulbright scholar in Russia, and she also won an Overseas Press Club scholarship to study Russian media and censorship.

She sounds like a smart person who will be an asset to the investigation.

you would need Russian speakers to wade through to prove foreign corruption
Maybe even, Russian investments in Donald Trump/Paul Manafort/an whole gang, not just collusion anymore.

For sure, Nunes, who has reinserted his lying traitorous self, ot Trey Gowdy, won't rehire Mueller. They are spun all in the web.
