The Conservative Treehouse has a pretty thorough treatment of what President Trump\u2019s order to investigate political motivations in the DOJ\u2019s Trump campaign spying effort means.\u00a0 I have to say I thought Trump and Mueller were playing chicken with each other.\u00a0 Maybe we\u2019ve moved past that.\u00a0 Maybe this now has to be resolved by someone going to prison.\u00a0 Or several somebodies.\u00a0 Unless Mueller has a smoking gun (which seems very unlikely) it looks like McCabe, Comey and company are about to be charged with criminal charges.\u00a0 The thing that occurs to me is that at some point somebody is going to sing to save his own neck.\u00a0 None of these guys wants to go to prison.\u00a0 My guess is McCabe but I am only looking in from the dark outside.\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019ll be Comey or Bruce Ohr or Peter Strzok.\u00a0 But whoever sings first will get the best deal.\u00a0 We live in interesting times.\u00a0 Let\u2019s hope they don\u2019t get much more interesting than they already are.<\/p>\n
