i think you have got it exactly right. yes, indeed. think back when comey was fired. at that time it was all about potus, and the investigation was probably weeks from the big climax. but comey got the ax and mueller got tabbed to go after whatever he could turn up. immediately the whole game changed. many, many who get pole-axed by this investigation will want to draw and quarter said potus after the dust settles. he got everybody into the mix. if for no other reason this country owes potus a debt of gratitude. we'll be a different nation after this is completed.

kerfuffle: n. Chiefly British Informal. a fuss; commotion. you've been reading techdirt, haven't you?

yes, and we are going to see key members of both houses who have proved to be unwilling -- or unable -- to go to bat for the republic hang it up. reason: their time in the barrel is nigh, and the things they've done/have been doing are both kompromat for the rooskies, keeping them in line, and grist for mueller's mill.

dem = 75% - gop = 25% is not a wave

that guy behind the zuck just realized what the lady put in his chair before he sat down.

one question i've had is how sensitive the info has been at cohen's places. i think i know now.

the people involved here are among the highest professionals in the legal circles of this country. the way mueller's team has operated without even wisps of leakage is probably how the entire operation will go.

this in the nyt today from popehat regarding the raid.

indeed. pence would become the next ant under the magnifying glass until he, too, pops. then on to the next. this is going to take a while.

wave. heh. when this is over the word wave won't be seen anywhere.

this is in need of some more ink. a lot of people aren't understanding the deeper implications of what is happening. we are passing a watershed moment in this country such that whatever the outcome of all this, these days will be discussed for many generations, if there are many generations.

are you guys just going to let this turd circle the bowl?

knocking the door down is a kind of knocking.

if fecalnoggin called out putin, it was because putin ordered him to do it. if that happened it was likely because they are trying to discredit info showing the puppet's subservience to his ventriloquist. they've done this before. remember our so-called bombing of that runway in syria? just trying to throw off the dogs.

a certain mr putin is amused by this comment.

you get to do the pinching. that man is dead.

oh, yeah, the concept of facebook is fine if there are protections to prevent abuse. not sure this company will survive in its present form. their business model is based on abuse.

you're talking ducks. i'm talking geese.

this is quickly becoming nightmare. there is no way facebook and the creeps who run it will survive this. at least as business and as businessmen.

i hope a guy who played linebacker in high school tackled his ass and told him this is how we do it here.

regarding the target/subject discussion, here's the summary paragraph of a po pat (ken white) explanation: Given Mueller's caution (applying for judicial approval whenever necessary) and standard methodology (developing the case through subpoenas and interviews, catching suspects in lies and using those lies to flip them as cooperators, steadily indicting new defendants as they become vulnerable), the most reasonable explanation is that he means what he says — Trump is a subject. That doesn't mean he's made a determination that Trump won't be indicted, or that it's unlikely he'll be indicted, or that he hasn't committed crimes or wrongdoing. It doesn't reflect a judgment on whether there has been a crime. It means he's not there yet. Calling Trump a subject is completely consistent with continuing to pursue evidence that would move Trump into the target column. It doesn't reduce Trump's exposure at all. It doesn't change the dilemmas his godforsaken criminal defense lawyers face. It doesn't reduce the manifest dangers of him making a statement to Mueller. It doesn't stop the process or the process stories or the steady rolling-up of Trump associates for various crimes and foolishness. what it means that trump is only a subject sorry if elsewhere posted. didn't see.

oh, wow. you're a lot like me. i have a coffeemaker that i use for a clock. if it told time it would really be good for that.

i have issues with specificity that i'd like to state. that you for the request.

my great suspicion is this mentality was not created by rush, fox news, &c. it has existed for centuries in a subset of our population. what is new is those creeps and their rooskie overlords figuring out how to tap into the craziness. i've seen exactly what we are describing all my long life. you just have to know where to look and realize what it means.
