    A harder stance against Cuba is going to help Real Americans in what way?

    Josh Marshall is the man. There is a lot of meat in these two articles.

    The Russia Probe Is a Vast Lava Flow Moving Toward Trump

    "The seeming multiplicity of investigations speaks for itself. But it is the repeated reference to “financial crimes” or “suspicious financial activity” that grabs my attention.

    Experts will tell you that “financial crimes” can often mean technical infractions, ways of structuring or organizing movements of money, failures to disclose, certain actions that are prima facie evidence of efforts to conceal, etc. This doesn’t mean these are just ‘technicalities’ in the colloquial sense. They are rather infractions the nature of which may be hard for a layperson to understand but which often end up snaring defendants when other crimes are too difficult to prove. But here’s the thing about the Trump world. I don’t have subpoena power. And we’ve yet to assign a reporting crew to the Trump entourage beat full time. But even with my own limited reporting, it is quite clear to me that there are numerous people in Trump’s entourage (or ‘crew’, if you will) including Trump himself whose history and ways of doing business would not survive first contact with real legal scrutiny. It sounds like Mueller sees all of that within his purview, in all likelihood because the far-flung business deealings of Trump and his top associates are the membrane across which collusion and quid pro quos could have been conducted."

    I was trying to find one that had a mustache to use that line, but I couldn't find one. Kudos.

    He doesn't. I didn't think that far ahead, to be frank.

    I have a theory that the FBI regrets the role it played in Clinton's defeat, so it will try to "even the score" (so to speak) with Trump.

    That crap is all penny ante stuff now.

    Fucko and his motley crew of minions are busy selling the nation itself off to the Russians. Who the hell can worry about education policies and profiteering; we could all be dead when school opens up again in about 10 weeks.
