Guys, do you realize Mueller has been on the job only since May of this year?

I am impressed that in under 6 months, most of the story is at least known now...the obvious charges, etc. and he has already arrested 3 folks, but not until after getting a lot of info. from others,
has been getting indictments steadily, etc.

in 6 months.

We really should tell Ivanka happy birthday.

It would be rude of us not to, esp. since we all know what she got for a present today.

Ivanka Trump's birthday is..........TOMORROW!!


And Mueller has already got her a gift.

Whitefish Energy contract will be canceled after ongoing work ends in Puerto Rico!!

I suspect enough people are eyeballing this that Whitefish won't be able to sneak more funds from Zinke.

"women are now sending their birth control bills to the White House"

The Keep Birth Control Copay Free campaign – championed by stars such as Kristen Bell, Kate Walsh, Margaret Cho, Cecily Strong, Gloria Steinem, Sasheer Zamata, Franchesca Ramsey, and Ana Gasteyer – has created a “digital invoice generator,” which not only calculates the cost of birth control in the event that employers abandon their female employees’ contraception coverage, but will also send the bill to the Trump and the Department of Health and Human Services.

“Each invoice generated through the campaign’s tool will also be submitted to the Federal Register as an official comment
opposing the new birth control rules. The comment period on the new rules will end on Dec. 5, 2017.”

Trump agrees to deport a guy because it will help his casino buddy Steve wynn.

Or, as the WSJ reports: China’s Pursuit of Fugitive Businessman Guo Wengui Kicks Off Manhattan Caper Worthy of Spy Thriller

This, from Juanita Jean this am:

The Chinese want Guo Wengui, who is currently hiding in a hotel in New York City. Guo has wagered a Twitter War with senior Chinese officials and business tycoons.

Outside of being big in the gambling industry from Vegas to Mississippi, Steve Wynn is also the finance chair of the Republican National Committee.

the man Trump wanted to give a death sentence to ( returning him to China) was to be part of a trade for Wynn to get a gambling license in Macau.

GOP Finance Chair, owner of chain of casinos. Surely no money laundering would be found there, right?

REMINDER: Sessions will be in a public Sen. Intell. hearing tomorrow 10 am EST.

I am sure that C-span will carry it, and YouTube usually has at least a late copy of these hearings.

( Is 9 am too early for a bottle of brandy in my coffee???)
