Charlie Pierce on the leaked Mueller questions

Briefly, there was some confusion as to whom this obviously strategic leak was supposed to benefit. That mystery did not last long. The questions weren’t out there for long before, with the remarkably transparent conniving that has been the hallmark of his entire career, as well as with the unshakable belief that he is the world’s smartest human, the president* proceeded to leap onto the electric Twitter machine to give his own game away.

Nobody could possibly figure out this clever web of clever cleverness.

The leak was incredibly damaging to the president*’s case anyway. (Because he is not a fool, Mueller had to know the questions would leak from somewhere as soon as he threw them into the maw of the president*’s crack legal team.) If nothing else, it’s almost certain that Mueller knows the answer to all the questions on the list and a helluva lot more.

Pierce also has a comment about the House Freedom Caucus' dumb threat to impeach Rod Rosenstein:

This doesn’t look like the move you make when you know the president* of your party is an innocent man. And the complicated process involved in impeaching a federal official is hard enough when you have cause, which these clowns clearly do not. Being Mean To The President* is not an impeachable offense, at least not to anyone not wearing the official blazer of the Freedom Caucus, the one with the arms that tie in the back.

The worrisome thing is that, no matter how stupid Trump and his supporting Congressional idiots are, we still seem to be caught in their trap.  I'm not confident of our ability to get out undamaged.

The idiot in chief is still siren-wailing in his trademark random capitalization tweet "no Collusion" this morning. 



Every fucking day.  An innocent person might shut up about it after a couple of times and let the investigation play out.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
