- It's like a scene out of Game of Thrones. Mike Pence is forming an independent PAC as he prepares a palace coup to usurp the presidency.
- Some wag I read yesterday wondered if Trump could go 48 hours without humiliating himself on Twitter. The answer was no. The adult response from the White House immediately after the appointment of a special counsel didn't sound at all like Trump. His whining tweet this morning does.
- Mike Flynn seems ready to defy congressional subpoenas as he tries to keep out of federal prison.
- Flynn told Trump's lawyer in early January that he was under FBI investigation. Trump's team ignored that red flag and then lied about what they knew and when they knew it.
- History Lesson: "What did the president know and when did he know it" was the driving question of the Watergate investigation and will be the driving question of Russiagate.
- House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy seems to have admitted that Trump was a paid agent of Russia back in 2016. When told about the story, McCarthy said the statement was fake. When told the Washington Post had tape, McCarthy stammered that he must have been joking.
- The Trump campaign was in constant contact with Russian agents during the final months of the 2016 presidential campaign.
