Clovis, a RW talk radio blow hard and professor in NW Iowa, was also an early, key figure in the vulgar talking yam's campaign. Colluding with our enemies. Boss of Papadopolous, recruited Carter Page.
Clovis went before Muller in his investigation. Because Clovis sent Georgie boy out to make back channel connections with Putin.

"Make the trip, if it is feasible," Clovis wrote in an email to George Papadopoulos, according to court papers unsealed Monday.
Those court records do not name Clovis, but his attorney confirmed Clovis' identity to NBC News Tuesday.
Papadopoulos at the time was serving as a foreign policy adviser to the campaign and had repeatedly offered to broker meetings between Russian officials and members of the campaign.
So Matt whitaker is now overseeing an investigation that involves his former boss Clovis. BTW: Clovis almost ate the dept. of agriculture.
Matt what's his name, the new acting atty general, worked in the wingnut welfare circuit in his leading role for F.A.C.T., a fascist "judicial" organization. Dark funding, probably from Chas. Koch.

WELLSPRING, was funded, ? founded ? by Neil's old lady Ann.
Matt what's his name is from Iowa, played football at U of IA. Chuck Grassley (judiciary) is from Iowa, Steve King represents Sioux City, where Clovis is from.
what a mess. The GOP is a den of crooks.

Leading the pushback from the outside against President Obamas attempt to bring the Supreme Court back up to its full complement of nine justices, the Judicial Crisis Network claims to have spent $4 million on a TV, radio and digital campaign attacking nominee Merrick Garland and arguing that the next president should fill the vacancy.

Hes not immune from an obstruction of justice investigation or charges. With a little bit of luck, he might might even look at sharing a cell with Mike Flynn or Paul Manafort.
