What's this?

You're right. It should be important

But what's troubling is that Mueller stated that his probe was an investigative probe into what happened. It was not a counterintelligence probe into safeguarding future elections. That was handled by a different group in the FBI.

I have zero faith in Barr making sure that counterintelligence investigations about election security will be thoroughly investigated.

As for who might be the source, both people on the right and left are guessing it might be Oleg Deripaska.
