Today's topics:

*Bannon strikes a deal to sit down with Mueller (NOTE: this doesn't mean he's agreed to cooperate or to plead guilty to a crime, but it does mean he's agreed to a sit down, and apparently he intends to openly share information)

*A primer on Executive Privilege, why it doesn't apply here, and why the instructions by the WH to Bannon not to testify may amount to obstruction of justice

*Trey Gowdy taking Bannon to town on Fox, and what it means

*Two subpoenas were issued to Bannon; here's the difference

*A review of joint defense agreements

*A few words on potential conflicts of interest

*Action items today: net neutrality needs only one more vote to be saved, and House Intel needs some love in support of taking down Steve Bannon

*And lastly, breathe. It's only Wednesday, and it's already a hell of a week.

Today's topics (and there are many):
*The really big news last night that demonstrates that Mueller has nailed the President for obstruction of justice, and related facts that we have now learned
*The implications of the White House lawyer who arguably withheld an opinion from the President as to whether the President had a right to fire Comey without cause
*Ryan backing Nunes' request for information from the FBI concerning Trump/Russia, and what it means for Paul Ryan's potential liability
*The five ways this President could be removed from office
*A thorough discussion of how the President could arguably be indicted by Mueller and then removed, even without impeachment proceedings
*A discussion of the criminal elements of treason, plus a bonus discussion on misprision of treason, and what that means for all of Trump's enablers
*A discussion of potential timelines for criminal proceedings, including a brief discussion of the Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial
*"What happens if Mueller indicts all the senior leadership at once?"
*And lastly, expect crazy between now and when he is removed. Be hopeful. The only question now is how this will unfold to remove him from office, not whether it will actually happen. Trust Mueller and trust the rule of law. We're well on the way.
