The Plot Begins To Unravel

Robert Mueller is issuing a subpoena for the Trump Organization's documents regarding their dealings in Russia.  Now if there is any funny business going on with that country's oligarchs, Trump will be exposed as the con man everyone suspects him to be, propped up by Vladimir Putin and bending over backwards to keep the Kremlin protected from international sanctions and isolation.  Perhaps knowing that the jig may be up, Trump has allowed his aides to condemn Russia's connection to the poisoning of a Russian double agent and his daughter living in England and to approve sanctions against the Russians - but he's not yet ready to take credit for anything that would offend Putin.

"Mueller is not fooling around," Representative Ted Lieu (D-CA) tweeted in response.  "A subpoena carries the force of law . . ..  If Donald Trump fires him, it's because Trump is hiding something bad from the American people."  House Republicans are certainly hiding something, since they terminated the investigation of the House Intelligence Committee into Russian meddling in the election and declared there was no collusion without hearing any testimony from witnesses Democrats wanted to bring in, which would have undermined that argument.  And by the way, the Senate investigation continues. 

While all of this is going on, Donald Trump, Jr.'s wife Vanessa has filed for divorce.  Talk about a danger signal!  This is the political version of a signal in the atmosphere that clues weather forecasters into a coming storm.  Vanessa Trump's split from her husband means that a sh--storm may be coming.     

And what about porn star Stormy Daniels, speaking of storms?  Please, that's a nothing-burger compared to the scandalous news about Trump and Russia that's about to blow up all over the Internet.

Ajit Pai may be considering an end to Net neutrality sooner rather than later.      

Meanwhile, Andrew McCabe was fired as FBI deputy director two days before his retirement because he misled investigators about letting FBI members share with the press damaging information about the investigation of . . . Hillary Clinton?  I give up, nothing makes sense anymore.
