(UKIP's dead in the water, but I imagine this will stir up more Brexit remorse &amp; suspicion).</p> <p>Other question is who's Putin banging in the French election - looks like melange a trois with Le Pen *AND* Melenchon.

It's become the threshing machine of the young Trump administration - slow to fill slots, but shedding or crippling staff at an alarming rate. Another Deep State plot, I'm sure. Get Nunes, I mean his replacement on the line. Chaffetz? more time with his family. Flynn turned state's evidence. Who else is here? Dammit, Bannon would have cleared this up in a jiffy.
