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.
Just put a stop too all this c**p and let President Trump and Congress get to work for the American People!
He looks corrupt.
Christopher Shocklee Hillary wasn’t elected because of the information made public by whomever hacked the servers in question. The only fact so far is tat the dnc refused to cooperate.
He has not failed us at all! He’s done more in 6 months than his other$#%&!@*crown did in 8 long years! However the democrats have failed America, being unruly obstructionist! They will eventually be sorry as karma’s a real$#%&!@*and paybacks are hell!
I think it’s time Trump just fires him… I don’t know why he keeps playing along with this douche bag!
You are a perfect example of a moron!! 8 months our President has been in office!! Goof!!
Of Trumps 140+ appointees the dems are doing everything they can to slow it down then claim nothing is getting done as Christopher Shocklee is. I believe less than 50 have been confirmed.
July 20th will actually be 6 months

Oh wait, that was the Clinton Foundation.
Remember when Donald Trump failed to disclose all those donations before becoming the Secretary of State, and it was only found out when a journalist went through Canadian tax records?
Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton.
Remember when Donald Trump told Mitt Romney that the 80s called and it wanted its Russian policy back. The Cold War is over?
Oh wait, that was President Obama.
