According to McClatchy, the interagency working group is informal and began scrutinizing possible Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential race last spring. A key mission of the six-agency team, it said, is examining who financed the email hacks of major Democratic Party sources last year....

Maybe he will use the $60 trillion coin to retire the debt - everybody into cash - no interest bearing instruments

Obama almost used the coin - except that he did not understand how it could be done
