Do you sense that panic is starting to set in at the White House?

Skittery, like wild animals, just before a huge storm?

The law doesn't require much, just the truth. Perhaps we will know more when Mueller releases his "report"?

Eventually, the lying and deceit has to be confronted.

We can see the toll it is taking on those that cover the White House. This is a very tough time for journalists. They are on the front lines.

The truth does matter.

he gets a significant blow, it's only Thursday, right? I woke up thinking it was Saturday already so much has come to pass. In the whirlwind of events and analysis someone pointed out that nearly everyone sans the immediate family, has been visited upon by the SC. And some of it is just coming out now in a steady feed, like a slow squeeze as trails begin... a slow squeeze, he's gonna blow in spectacular fashion in from of god and everybody. I think it won't be long, he's been unstable this whole time in office.

Then there the possibility of a major chunk of Congress will be going to court too for the next couple years a big shift is upon us, contingency plans for unusual circumstance should be considered.

I'm not overly confident about anything right now, all I can do is try to see all the info I can because this is so bizarre.

Perhaps Congress should pass a law that the military should be required to inform the top eight members of Congress before they follow any military orders which are so confrontational as to put our troops in harm? They should not follow tweets or any decisions made without proper consultation.

Although, I think that's possible already an agreed upon procedure among the JCS. I think they made that clear regarding that LGBTQ tweet back a while ago. They stated that unless formal channels are used, they stand down. I'm sure their agreement goes beyond that.

Didn't really get how much underground work Putin was doing to ensure he'd be installed.
