Is sort of the possibility of such sort of chaos and unpredictability kind of drip-drip-drip that may start as soon as monday that has really distracted past administrations when they faced it. you had the clinton administration in the second term, in the late 90s, the reagan administration in its second term, both when they were dealing with special counsels, special prosecutors, legislative agenda, sort of a forward momentum, sort of a can do approach, really got stalled out in both of those c...

Countries. did he report everything correctly. and then michael flynn. theres a real question about some of flynns communications. there was one communication with ambassador kislyak between the two administrations. one of the theories is if there are charges against those two, is this an effort to pressure them to cooperate with muellers investigation. in the end, its going to be, as it always is with these investigations, what did the president know when. it has to be president trump himself b...
