Quiz time.
What's the only thing worse than being the target of a grand jury called by Robert Mueller?
Being the target of two grand juries called by Robert Mueller!
From NBC News:
Special Counsel Robert Mueller has tapped multiple grand juries, including juries in Washington and Virginia, in an effort to gather evidence in the ongoing federal investigation into Russia's meddling in the U.S. presidential election, three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Mueller had impanelled a separate grand jury in Washington, but sources familiar with the matter say that Mueller is using existing grand juries in both Washington and Virginia.
It appears that Mueller's after it all—the alleged financial shenanigans that pre-date last November's election, the slow-dancing with Russian oligarchs, the infusions of cash from the banks of the Volga that kept the Trump Organization in business, the overpayment by Russians for condos owned by the Trump Organization—everything, as the great Lennie Briscoe once said to a Russian mob kingpin, right down to the rubber in your wallet. He is not afraid and he is not going away.
There is no possible way that this White House is D'd up for the Category Five shitstorm that's coming over the next six months to a year. Right now, there's no indication that anyone there has any grasp at all about how anything in Washington works, let alone how to handle the magnitude of what's rolling up the driveway of the West Wing.
This is why we should join Eugene Robinson in being alarmed about what the president* told his fans in West Virginia on Thursday night:
"They can't beat us at the voting booths so they're trying to cheat you out of the future and the future that you want…"They're trying to cheat you out of the leadership you want with a fake story that is demeaning to all of us. And most importantly, demeaning to our country."
Chris Matthews was correct in seeing a little Huey Long in what the president* fed to the base on Thursday night, even though, truth be told, the Kingfish would have eaten the likes of Donald Trump on toast. ("Who took on the Standard Oil men and whipped they ass?"This president* will pull the temple down on his own head if it means another twenty bucks or if it means keeping the dark side of his business dark.
Already, the house organ is playing a tune called, "Grand Juries. Why Do We Need 'em?" And then there was this hilarious moment on CNN this morning when bed-sniffing yahoo Kenneth Starr, who needed to know what Bill Clinton did with a cigar but couldn't be bothered to investigate rapes at the college over which he had been chosen to preside, managed to smack Chris Cuomo's gob into next Thursday. Starr said:
"I do think it is a, certainly a serious matter when a special counsel is accused—and I was accused of that—of exceeding his or her authority. That's a serious matter because we do not want investigators and prosecutors out on a fishing expedition."
Ken Starr said that, and this whole business is nowhere near as weird as it's going to get.
