18/ Please note that, despite their decisions to retire, both Corker and Flake have remained (at least at times) vocally critical of Trump. I do not know if the hacking of Smartech is related to their resignations but it seems worth investigating. I hope Mueller is doing that.
19/ For that matter, I don't know if Graham is being blackmailed either. Again, my point is that it's worth at least investigating.
