  1. I think MSNBC is spinning Mueller's retraction by saying "Trump's people GOT TO HIM after the first hearing!"

  2. Dems didn't fast-track Trump's appointments. They fast-tracked Obama's by changing the cloture rule for appointments, and they never for a minute thought Trump would be the next president. It's not like they rolled over for Trump. They rolled over for a long line of Democrat presidents that didn't happen. I always felt that the filibuster was one of the coolest things about our system. If 1/3 (plus 1) of the senators feel REALLY strongly about something, they can keep the 2/3 from passing it. They can't pass anything of their own, but they CAN stop the OTHER side from passing anything, either. "Meet us halfway, or we'll just keep on a'talkin' 'til the cows come home, 'n' then we'll talk some more." It's an obstructionist tactic that you can easily steamroll in a real emergency, because you'll 2/3 plus 1 to sustain a cloture vote, and they'll have to let you put your bill up to a vote. Filibuster's been used for many years to try to hold the president in check through his appointments. In the bureaucracy, that means that temporary appointments can run for years, and "acting" secretary be the secretary and not much changes. But in the courts, those seats remain vacant. Republicans played this very smart. And they got very lucky. They stalled Obama's appointments to the maximum extent possible for a close-2nd minority. Then the Dems passed what I think they called the "nuclear option" that required only 50% plus 1 to force a confirmation vote. They thought they were so smart, but apparently Obama was still way behind on his court appointments, and the Republicans absolutely SWOOPED on the opportunity. The Democrats thought they were so clever at how they were leveraging a bare majority, but they didn't think ahead to the day when the other party would hold a majority in the Senate, with a Republican sitting in the White House! It's like a Ronnie O'Sullivan clearing the table with a 135.

  3. Could be Mueller's taking some unfair flack on Fusion GPS. I imagine they're subjects of another investigation. It used to piss me off that Rosenstein's scope memo restricted Mueller from going near anything that wasn't pertinent to the Trump campaign. Investigating the investigators was NOT part of his brief. When I first heard about Rosenstein's scope memo, I thought "Geez, if it doesn't lead to Trump, they're gonna sweep it under the carpet!" But it turns out that by restricting the scope, they assured that neither Mueller nor his 12 angry Democrats would get their dirty, evidence-destroying mitts on THAT investigation. Maybe it was just playing chess, while the Deep State was playing tic-tac-toe.

  4. So Rosenstein may've warned Mueller off, Day 1, from pursuing anything related to the provenance of the Dossier or involvement of Fusion GPS in making shit up. And maybe, just maybe, he had his horns all pulled in because Barr told him about some CURRENT investigations. Saying Fusion GPS was outside his purview might be God's own truth!
