Donald Fires FBI Director who's investigating Russian Election Hacking
Maybe. Donnie doesn't seem as respectable enough to have that exchange though. He'd smear something else on down and through everyone he could think of while attempting to answer the question.
Also, the investigation has yielded it's first conviction:

Oh good, they got him!
You've already illustrated that you don't see anything wrong foreign entities swaying an election, and therefore could care less if someone was working with them. You also don't seem to understand the importance of 'first conviction' in context of an ongoing investigation.

It did originally surprise me to learn that not all Americans feel it is any big deal to have our nation's sovereignty messed with by a foreign power. Even more so, given that that power has been our chief geopolitical rival in the Post WWII era. But I have learned to accept this nonchalant attitude as a fact. Maybe some don't regard our sovereignty as important to any degree. Maybe some think that interference never even happened.
It was a type of attack, grounded in the new battlefield of cyber war. Both via hacking and via manipulation of social media. Maybe because we ourselves have engaged in cyber warfare, and some may see it as "what goes around comes around". I'm not sure of all the factors that make so many Americans shrug their shoulders at Russian interference. We can be certain the new possibilities of achieving foreign policy aims against rivals/enemies, without firing a shot, or losing one Russian soldier, has not been lost on Putin. I really wish all Americans would just wake up and recognize an attack as an attack, but I do accept that some Americans are incapable of giving a damn in that respect.
Meanwhile, the FBI raided the office of Trump's lawyer, Cohen, today. Sounds like it pertains to the Stormy Daniels matter, and not the Russian investigation.

Everyone must agree that this is being handled correctly?
Conflicting information.

Multiple sources report it was affair related. But Cohen's lawyer says it was referred by Muellers office.
The checks included in the article show a link back to possibly(probably?) Rosenstein.
Seems like it wouldn't be worth the squeeze if all he wants is a black eye to Cohen.
