    The twist to this story is going to be that they're half-sisters.

    Mr. Whitaker also has a connection to the evangelical voters who helped propel Mr. Trump to the White House — during his Senate campaign, Mr. Whitaker said at a forum for Republican candidates that if elected, he would ask judicial nominees whether they were “people of faith” who had “a biblical view of justice.”

    And then there's this as well:

    Two months before Mr. Whitaker joined the Justice Department, he wrote in a column for CNN that the Trump family’s finances were beyond the scope of the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, into whether any Trump associates conspired with Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

    Should Mr. Mueller investigate the president or his family’s financial matters, “this would raise serious concerns that the special counsel’s investigation was a mere witch hunt,” Mr. Whitaker wrote, adopting the president’s derisive term for the investigation.

    There was no titanic wave but the victories at the grass roots level shows that people are responding to the current state of affairs.

    Point to the Senate wins, fine, but as history shows, change does not start at the top, Presidency, Senate, real, fundamental change starts at the micro level, your corner grocery store/now coffee store, your "downtown", your neighborhood, are things looking up? or are shops being shuttered? Homes selling or not? The House seats that were flipped are a real, substantive change to the political climate and if you ignore them, you do so at your own peril because you will be swallowed up. (I'm looking at you Mr. Trump and Mr. Graham; see Kris Kobach/Heller/Colorado gov. race).

    Whatever Mueller's got, odds are its on its way to Rep. Jerry Nadler, incoming chairman House Judiciary, right now.

    Now get caught*
