Believe it or not, Senator Flake actually responds to letters from his constituents. I received this letter TODAY from him:
Dear xxxxx:
Thank you for contacting me about investigations into alleged ties between members of the Trump campaign and the Russian government. Currently, five investigations into this matter are underway.
The House and Senate Select Committees on Intelligence are each investigating Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and any collusion that may have taken place between the Trump campaign and Russia. The Senate Judiciary Committee is examining the dismissal of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and former FBI Director James Comey and the circumstances surrounding those dismissals. The House Oversight Committee is looking into specific contacts Michael Flynn may have had with Russian officials and payments he received from foreign governments.
Lastly, on May 17, 2017, former FBI Director Robert Mueller was appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to serve as Special Counsel for the ongoing criminal probe into ties between the campaign of then-candidate Trump and the Russian government, and any efforts made to impede that investigation. The original investigation initiated by former FBI Director Comey continues.
I support the efforts of the standing committees of both chambers of Congress to investigate this matter, and I agree with the appointment of a Special Counsel by the Department of Justice. As long as these investigations continue to be conducted in an appropriate manner, I do not believe that yet another select committee is needed, nor do I think appointments of further special or independent prosecutors are necessary at this time.
The matters under investigation are grave and I take the conduct of these probes seriously. Getting to the bottom of these allegations and reports is important not only for national security, but it is also critical to maintaining confidence in our democratic system.
Thank you again for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to do so again in the future. I also encourage you to visit my website, which may be found at flake.senate.gov.
Sincerely,
JEFF FLAKE
United States Senator

Unless you are wearing rose colored sunglasses, it seems that Trump is absolutely screwed. For our Dear Leader, it's going to be a sad world for quite a while:
