The Mueller report is over. It’s over. The Republicans have successfully muffled its findings, and even congress people haven’t read it. It’s all done. It required an AG willing to whitewash the findings, and deliver his summary, and that’s what stuck. Mueller himself, out of frustration, held a press conference telling congress that it was up to them to do something about it. Democrats are too worried about the results of the next election to actually do anything about it, so the Mueler report is over. There will be no further Trump ramifications whie he’s in office, and possibly not when he’s out. ---

As we learned with Falstaff, people like a funny man, until people begin to understand that his bullshittery has a price. It’s all fun and entertainment until people start paying a price for his fuck-ups. President Trump is President Falstaff, minus the intoxication. ---

Wheres that guy who kept talking about Kilimnik?

Turns out the guy was working for the FBI informing on Yanukovych. “State officials told the FBI that although Kilimnik had Ukrainian and Russian residences, he did not appear to hold any allegiance to Moscow and was critical of Russia’s invasion of the Crimean territory of Ukraine. “Most sources of information in Ukraine were slanted in one direction or another,” Kasanof told agents. “Kilimnik came across as less slanted than others.” “Kilimnik was flabbergasted at the Russian invasion of Crimea,” the FBI added, summarizing Kasanof’s interview with agents.” ---
