something much bigger and more damaging that is on the cusp of emerging? This is almost like the grand finale of a fireworks show - the amount of breaking news is mind boggling.

So, what's REALLY going on?

Paging Robert Mueller? Hello? I fervently wish, every day, that you find the motherlode - and nail these assholes to the wall - and quickly!

1. There's the theory that the leaks are coming from Bannon

I'm sure there's no love lost between Bannon and the Trump spawn, and we already know he'd love to vaporize Kushner, so if he takes down Don Jr., he gets a two-for-one.

This is being called the "smoking gun." Offer made to Donald Jr. that is as unambiguous as it gets, to which he responds "I love it."

Where's the "wiggle room" in that? And I just posted a thread from Sanders' off-camera press conference today. She wouldn't touch it. Every request for info was a referral to Donald Jr.'s attorney.

I'm going to venture to say that Bannon is in there somewhere, but this one is real, and it's going to be hard to "deflect."
