Can prez claim exec priv on non-approved appointees? Since not officially gov, can Mueller jump straight to indictments w/o all the niceities?

Meanwhile Adam Khan stays focused on Jared's seemingly good luck, all those billions in loans and investments for his bankrupted, cash-guzzling buildings and businesses. Good thing they didn't want anything from him, right? Because a guy heavily in debt making deals with Saudi Arabia, Israel, China and Russia could be a major detriment, no?

Russian sleeper cells, some created back in 2009, rose up at last minute like in Brian De Palma's Carrie.

"Sarah Palin can see Russia from Trump's doorstep" - modified from the comments section.

Must be accounting day - WaPo lines up the unusual suspects.

But still, ignoring the Chinese influence too much still.

1. $18 billion flowed from China to Trump, Kushner, Schwarzman, Ross; Congress should investigate what role this played in Trump killing TPP https://t.co/NSmfNJ8K8p

Well, that's my interest in Kahnemann and Nate Silver's Bayesian thinking - yes, overall the populace needs to start thinking more analytically and more probabilistically and probably some others as well. We act like we're deciding rationally, but look at how Democrats went off to chase Donna Brazile's moonbeams last week - we're suckers for the next scam that comes along. This state of affairs shouldn't continue to such a dismal extent. No, we won't be all logicians in a week, but we can do quite a bit better.

I just gravitated to this one right away NRA met Russian sanctions target last year before unleashing $30 million to elect Trump ,.amazing, proof of how this "fiddling with elections" thing can't really be "solved". It's not going to stop, there is always going to be a way for special interest tribes/lobbies worldwide around any rules you make. That is why you are being ensnared in a huge spiderweb of links. The noise of it all is deafening.

Can't see any solution except from the voter side of things: George Bush was right: edjumication is fundamental, is our children learnin', they've got to be able to separate those who are spinning from those trying to decode the spin.

Everyone who wants to be their own Kellyanne Conway are the ones that need real shaming?

No Russians in Paradise

No Russians in Paradise Papers? Data might be true (not guaranteed yet), but like releasing only 1 campaign's emails, gives a distorted picture and heavy advantage. And like with last week's drop - be careful, very careful about jumping in with both feet.

NRA met Russian sanctions
