You could be forgiven for having a difficult time following all the players in the continuing saga that has engulfed Congressional committees, the president, the FBI, the NSA, Russia, the Clintons, former FBI Director Comey, WikiLeaks, the media, and who know how many others. The old baseball adage fits: “You can’t tell the players without a scorecard.”
Continuing the baseball metaphor, part of the problem is that it’s not entirely clear who is on whose team. Or for that matter, it’s not clear how many teams there are.
When one sits down to write a piece about this turmoil, one question that comes to mind is how much do potential readers already know, and how much time should be spent rehearsing information in an attempt to help clarify things rather than to obfuscate — something our politicians do well enough anyway.
So when we begin a piece with the assertion that Special Counsel Mueller might be accused of doing the very thing former FBI Director Comey accused President Trump of doing, do your eyes just glaze over, or is this all crystal clear to you?
We’ll try to straighten this out and clarify things for you, as well as hopefully explaining why this is important on page two.

The Republicans could have just not convened the investigations.
Sessions did not have to recuse himself.
Trump’s DOJ did not have to appoint a Special Counsel.
Trump could block and frustrate other legal attacks using the powers of his office.
The MSM could have released their reams of stories about Russian collusion to no effect and Trump could have just canceled the White House Press briefings altogether, deriding all this as f**e news. He even could have ordered these organizations shut down having established them as enemies of the American People. At the very least he could have denied American Press access to his events and used his bully pulpit to speak to America and the world through twitter and at rallies.
This would have enable the President to deal with the Russians and anyone else however he damn well pleased. If he owed them sanctions relief for helping him bury Hillary, who cares. If he pulls America out of NATO to keep his Russian business private, who cares.
He let this get out of control and he no longer controls the situation.
Trump blew it!!
Funny how all these dirtbags are exposing themselves for being swamp scum.
They are all jumping on that grenade for the Clintons.
This investigation conducted by the “unbiased” Mueller is a scam and a witch hunt.
