The Denier-in-Chief has got himself a very sticky wicket, as the British would say. Porn star Stormy Daniels is suing him for release from a contract to remain silent about their sex affair, and Robert Mueller is zeroing in on an obstruction of justice charge for firing the FBI Director, if not more.  The Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bill out of committee this week on a bipartisan vote to protect Special Counsel Mueller from being terminated by Mr. Yuge without judicial review. It will not become law, but the bill does send a loud message down Pennsylvania Avenue that the Special Counsel enjoys the confidence of the Senate as his investigation continues.

The latest development:  we knew that Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer at the Trump Tower in Manhattan to talk about getting political dirt on 'Crooked Hillary', but what what has been revealed now is that Natalia Veselnitskaya--the lawyer in question--was a Russian government informer for years.  She also numbered the spy agency, FSB, among her clients according to Russian court documents reported by Reuters.  Veselnitskaya told NBC she is, “a lawyer, and I am an informant. Since 2013, I have been actively communicating with the office of the Russian prosecutor general.” IT MUST GO ON!
