Replacement Post:  This week in the Russian Connection investigation, Chairman Schiff of the House Intelligence Committee told media that his initial move will be to share previous sworn Congressional testimony with Special Counsel Robert Mueller.  The release of Robert Stone's testimony after months of wrangling with the Repugnant majority led to his recent indictment for lying to Congress.  Schiff told reporters he has concerns about the testimony of other witnesses before the committee, since some witnesses may have believed they had "some sort of immunity" when the committee was controlled by the other party.  Schiff went on to say, "There’s no reason to protect these witnesses; there’s every reason to validate Congress’ interest in not having people come before it and lie."

Individual I's TV lawyer, Rudy Gulliani, has been reduced from repeating the mantra, "No collusion." to: 'the President did not collude, but maybe some of his staff did'.  He told a reporter on Wednesday night, “I never said there was no collusion between the campaign, or people in the campaign,” during an interview with a CNN anchor.

The swirl of investigations have got even establishment Democrats wondering why the self-proclaimed "King of Debt" is so chummy with Boss Vlad .   The Minority Whip, Dick Durbin wondered aloud on ABC, “Why is he so chummy with Vladimir Putin? This man, who is a former KGB agent, never been a friend of the United States, invaded our allies, threatens us around the world and tries his damnedest to undermine our elections.”  Don't ignore Captain Obvious, Mr. Durbin.  Rep. Mike Quiqley, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, called the investigations, which Americans favor by a substantial majority, the "most important investigations of our lifetime--and I lived through Watergate."
