The Lesson: Mueller Doesn’t Scare, but maybe the Dear Leader doesn’t, either.
It may be that President Trump successfully rattled his Dear Leader counterpart in Pyongyang, thus calming the fears of we Californians about a DongDong-2 eventually landing in our backyards. More likely, though, our relief is due to the professionalism at the C-Ring and the Fort Myers O-Club. (Excuse my 1970’s)
What is confusing now is the lunch menu at the National Security Council, principals and lawyered-up deputies. Who the hello is calling the shots? As per Herr Sessions, are they really not discussing Russian X-Box games? Or was Master Kushner really planning to drop a worm in the Old Bolshevik’s borsht bin, a-la-Snowden?
Mueller’s bluff has guaranteed a merry Christmas for those billing at $750 per, plus Iron Mountain costs. It also means an Election Year Special Trump Show at next year’s Super Bowl. Why so? Executive Privilege litigation and a Trump media counteroffensive underwritten by unidentified fossil fuel interests. Remember, oil we be at $300/bbl.
TBD: Will Mueller conclude that Putin really is getting bounced?
