In a week that's already been dominated by the Rob Porter security-clearance scandal and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting, Special Counsel Robert Mueller has stepped in today and set off an explosion. He's indicted 13 Russians for crimes against humanity (that's our characterization, not his) — and let's just say that nobody's talking about infrastructure, okay?
Or about the allegedly fabulous Republican tax bill. The Trumpsters and the GOP have lost another week, and the 2018 clock is ticking.
Suffice to say that although the Trumpsters — including the head Trump himself — are trying to spin Mueller's indictment as "no collusion," from what we've read, they have a lot to worry about. Mueller is laying groundwork for his case, and he must tell the Russian side of the story before he can tell the American one. And as a favorite tweeter of ours (a smart lawyer) has pointed out, it's only a matter of time before "unwitting" becomes "intentional."
We also need to mention that on the non-Russia front, Trump suffered a blow (pun intended) from another story by the intrepid Ronan Farrow, who — perhaps on a crusade against Woody Allen? — has made celebrity males' sexual mendacity his beat. A Playboy bunny has alleged an affair (ugh) with Trump at about the same time as the Stormy Daniels episode. Which makes us wonder a few things.
To the so-called religious leaders who defend Trump: How many mulligans does he get? Is there a limit? How many affairs equal one Supreme Court justice? Does he get a mulligan for each extramarital affair, or does one mulligan cover a multitude of them? Dear readers, if you're planning to attend church this weekend, perhaps you could ask someone about this. We cats PURR.
