Mr. Assange, you've constantly been linked with Russia and more recently, the supposed meddling with the 2016 US Presidential election. As you may know, the US dismissed 35 Russian diplomats and promised sanctions against Russia, and Putin hasn't taken any drastic actions against the US and has denied involvement in the elections. I clearly believe that the US constantly wants to blame their issues on other countries and individuals. What are your thoughts on these recent events, and do you think it's fair that the US points fingers at other countries for anything and everything that goes wrong?

I appreciate you doing this AMA because it has been a dream of mine to work for the NSTB, specifically as an Air Crash Investigator! I also thank you, your team, and all of NSTB for your work and inspiring me to work towards my dream!

Since you deal with highway incidents, my question touches on both highway and aviation. When there is an emergency or unanticipated landing of a fixed-wing aircraft on a local road or highway such as the Cessna 172 in California earlier this year, how does the highway side of NTSB deal with it and collaborate with the aviation side? I know the inner workings of aviation investigations, "Go Team", Black Box, ATC and all.

How does the highway side go about things with the "Go Team" and moving forward?
