Just when you thought ‘RussiaGate,’ couldn’t be more of a distraction from the real issues plaguing everyday Americans, a new probe is launched to make matters worse. Former presidential candidate, Green Party head Jill Stein, is now being probed by Senate investigators.

BuzzFeed reports:

The top congressional committee investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election has set its sights on the Green Party and its nominee, Jill Stein, according to a former campaign employee. Dennis Trainor Jr., who worked for the Stein campaign from January to August of 2015, says Stein contacted him on Friday saying the Senate Intelligence Committee had requested that the campaign comply with a document search.

Trainor, who served as the campaign’s communications director and acting manager during that time, told BuzzFeed News that he was informed of the committee’s request because during his time on the campaign, his personal cell phone was “a primary point of contact” for those looking to reach Stein or the campaign. That included producers from RT News, the Russian state-funded media company, who booked Stein for several appearances, Trainor said.

“Then I was told by Jill just to wait for further instructions,” Trainor told BuzzFeed.

Zac Petkanas, a former communications advisor to Hillary Clinton‘s failed presidential campaign in 2016, tweeted “Jill Stein is a Russian agent,” eight times in a row after BuzzFeed published its scoop.

The former Clinton aide doubled down on his bizarre claim, tweeting at this reporter, “Russian propaganda outlet highlights that I accurately identified Jill Stein as a Russian agent.”

In July, Petkanas called for investigators to “Root out Russian collaborators,” amid reports Stein had been “looped into widening investigation of Russia and Trump Jr. connections.”

The length to which Hillary Clinton and her team will go to shift blame onto others for President Trump’s victory last November is stunning. Adam Parkhomenko, a long time aide to Hillary Clinton, took to Twitter back in September to rant about how great his boss’s presidential campaign was in 2016, while taking shots at her primary opponent Bernie Sanders.

In the middle of Parkomenko’s thread, the Clinton aide insinuates something quite explosive — Bernie Sanders may have colluded with Russia in the Democratic primary.

“PS…you seem to ignore the Russia support online for Bernie during the primaries. The guy is hiding something. Not sure I want to know what,” the aide tweeted.

Ready for Hillary was a movement. Was proud to run the PAC. We didn't sell those. Also, how could "Bernie would have won" when Bernie lost? https://t.co/DAtt1ZRYNI — Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) September 9, 2017

So much fake news. You go to bed at night praying a fake Democrat runs again in 2020. Brady. Amber. Magnitsky. Sanctions. — Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) September 9, 2017
