Tonight’s question, greetings, and banter here. (More)
Today on Face Sunday This Union Meet, former Homeland Security Sec. Jeh Johnson warned against going after reporters over leaks, even as he noted that “I’ve never seen [leaks] this bad” but Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein insisted the DOJ are “after the leakers, not the journalists,” and said the department will target people who are committing crimes. Rosenstein also downplayed Robert Mueller impaneling a grand jury, saying “It’s just a tool” and “it doesn’t say anything about the likelihood of indictments,” while Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) defended his bill to protect Mueller’s investigation, saying “It’s an important part of what we need to do to re-establish the public trust in the Department of Justice.” Over the next 18 months, which investigation will yield more indictments: the leakers, or the God-King’s family and aides?

Also, Rosenstein insisted that Mueller can investigate any crimes he discovers in the course of examining Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election … including financial crimes. In other words, the God-King’s business dealings, especially with Russian oligarchs, are NOT off-the-table….
Hmm… I think that early on the leakers might take the early lead, but over the next 18 months, the Trump family and hangers-on will definitely be well out in front. The betting should be on how many flip to save themselves.
Counting indictments may not be a meaningful way for keeping score. It is like counting hits at a baseball game.
Saturday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy.” with Joy Reid, former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Howard Dean said ““There has always been a section of the left, which I call the whiny party — the party that doesn’t really wanna win, they just wanna be pure, and if they go down swinging purely, then that’s fine…” He said that these fight are a media creation. We just have to pull together. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/345484-former-dnc-chair-calls-progressives-whiny
