In other Mueller news...looks like he is trying to crack the NRA - Russian connection and by golly, might be good for Merica. Also the House Dems are going look at Deustche Bank, money laundering and Anthony Kennedy and his son. And Maxine Waters, new House Financial Comm chair, met with Dimon and Solomon, CEOs of J.p. morgan and Goldman Sachs.

With WH continuing to back pedal on almost every stance of this investigation, how does anyone still continue to believe anything they say?

Because this country is full of stupid people. If it wasn't, Trump never would have been elected in the first place.

Rep. Schiff from CA has sent Mueller all the Don Jr. congressional hearing transcripts from Intel-Comm hearings. Mueller is going to review those like he did Stone's testimony, which led to his indictment. The important factor here is the transcripts (and lying on record) are pretty much open and shut, because it's on record.

Looks like Don Jr. is next in the indictment line.

• Who made call to Trump Tower?
• Did Cohen go to Prague?
• Who ordered the platform change before the Republican convention?
• What happened in Seychelles?
• What other payments have been made to women for their silence?
• Was Nunes directed by Trump to obstruct investigations and spill classified info?
• What do the Trump tax returns show?
• What did Trump and Putin discuss in their private meetings and who "allowed" those meetings to happen in secrecy?

There does seem to be more talk and less seizing the reins and getting these investigations going and public.

I hope it is because there is some coordination with Mueller and other investigations and need to roll out evidence in a certain order. But I am worried that as they start moving into the territory of the corporacy they get their wrists slapped and start protecting THEIR party interests from loss of donations. Do they have the guts, fortitude, and commitment to justice to uncover corruption whomever it punishes?

Sarah Sanders: God wanted Trump to become president

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed Wednesday that President Donald Trump's presidency was part of a higher calling.

"I think God calls all of us to fill different roles at different times and I think that he wanted Donald Trump to become president," Sanders said during an interview with Christian Broadcast Network News. "And that's why he's there, and I think he has done a tremendous job in supporting a lot of the things that people of faith really care about."

The president has long touted his Christian faith, and his presidency was overwhelmingly supported by white evangelical voters.

I have a random hypothetical procedural question. If Mueller finishes his report, submits it to the Justice Department, and the Justice Department does not make the findings public, couldn't the House just subpoena it?

The worst thing about stupid people is they don't know they are stupid.

It wasn't too long ago that the stupid, uneducated, or inexperienced had deference for expertise and intelligence (remember we are supposed to prize "greatness"?). Now we have the internet and a political party that vilifies these things and enables every dumb opinion, and the stupid have concluded not just that everyone is entitled to an opinion, but that they are all of equal value.

Looking at my opening comment...maybe I am stupid and don't know it. Oh wait, that tends to be the litmus: if you pause to consider your own stupidity you probably aren't.

"In early 2016, with Donald Trump lending tens of millions of dollars to his presidential campaign, he sought a loan from Deutsche Bank, one of the few banks still willing to lend him money and got turned down, the N.Y. Times' David Enrich, Jesse Drucker and Ben Protess scoop.

Among the concerns of senior officials at the bank "was that if Mr. Trump won the election and then defaulted, Deutsche Bank would have to choose between not collecting on the debt or seizing the assets of the president of the United States."
Why it matters: "The failed loan request ... shows that he was actively engaged in running his business in the midst of the presidential campaign, and it is likely to attract scrutiny from Democrats on two House committees that are investigating his two-decade relationship with Deutsche Bank."
