Today's topics, of which there are many:
*Giuliani claims Mueller said he won't indict the President; here's why that is not to be believed, and furthermore why Mueller has an out, per the attorney who wrote the DOJ regs on the issue
*Christopher Wylie testifies on Bannon's use of Cambridge Analytica to suppress the black vote
*Mountains of breaking news on Michael Cohen, including about Trump Tower Moscow and soliciting bribes from the Qataris
*Agalarov's "sizeable" birthday present to Trump
*Senate Intel agrees with our intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, and why Richard Burr (R) signed off on this
*The release of materials from Senate Intel, and what they tell us about Don Jr. and others
*Quid Pro Quo on sanctions as described in testimony from Senate Intel
*Roger Stone's social media adviser is subpoenaed to testify in front of the Grand Jury
*The Kremlin apparently funneled money through the NRA to the GOP, per news from The Hill yesterday
*Rex Tillerson subtly bashing Trump at the VMI commencement
*Net Neutrality scored a victory in the Senate yesterday
*Trump admitted in his financial disclosures that he paid Cohen back for the Stormy Daniels payment, BUT this resulted in the Office of Government Ethics referring this matter for CRIMINAL investigation to Rosenstein
*Avenatti takes to Morning Joe to announce that there are two more women (at least) who were paid off by Trump via Cohen, and what that might mean for criminal charges against the President
*and lastly, a discussion of why thinking Avenatti is hot is NOT the same as #MeToo, a word about the future we want to live into, and why healthy sexuality and desire, as opposed to the use of power to abuse, is something we should all be aiming for (tough love rant).
