Sometimes when something is really complicated, a good graphic can help you grasp the situation. This is the Feynman diagram of Trumpland, insofar as the Russians are concerned. It’s probably too much to hope for, but I’m hoping Mueller achieves bingo on that grid – turning all the rows orange. ---
