    This has the looks of something that could get messy

    And the plot thickens. Weird. Just a series of random thoughts. I am glad that Jeff Boregard (however it is you spell it) Sessions is no longer in charge of the Russia investigation. Some of other dude will handle it now, and he has a reputation of not being a "yes man". And that Tillerson fellar, he sure is acting mighty strange. Not a peep out of him. His department is grossly understaffed, and it's a mess. For not being guilty, these fellars sure act mighty suspicious. Hell, Trump should welcome a Russian investigation to clear his name. Nope!

    See, that's why you need to prosecute shady businessmen before they got a chance to appoint their own AG. Trump is high profile and was involved in weird stuff most of his career. How come the first time this surfaces is after he's elected President? BTW, this once again pierces the ridiculous canard that "the media" is out to get him: he's treated with kid's gloves all his life.

    You guys had such a luxury these elections. I'm circling back to Ukraine: after we got rid of the Russia-connected goon, the political heavyweights consisted of 1) shady businessmen; 2) corrupt politicians; 3) lackeys of criminal-business clans (Yanukovych was one of these) and 4) crazies. We picked the cleanest-looking shady businessman who had the sense to back "democracy" and "reforms"; predictably, he's reluctant to force much-needed reforms that threaten the system he known how to operate in; so, much feet-dragging. Even we had enough sense not to vote in a tabloid and reality-teevee star. Guys, you didn't have to do that!

    No one, guilty or innocent, welcomes a witch hunt.

    You know, when one dealt in risky situations, there used to be a way to avoid "witch hunts". Do not become a public figure; least of all, run for President. Once you're a politician, you're fair game. In reality though, some politicians (cough, Hillary, cough) just seem to invite more scrutiny; others can pal around with international mobsters and peddle racist conspiracy theories and remain lovable rogues worthy of sycophantic attention. Go figure.

    I have friends in various parts of the world. I have to hear all the reality TV star and tweeting jokes! It's embarrassing! He might be my President, but I don't have to respect him or like him. I will not call him "President". On another note, Trump has sent the message that he is not interested in respecting me as a minority. What leads me to that conclusion? He appointed alt Reich Steve Bannon as his right hand man. Most of us minorities will never forget that. Did a few minorities vote for him? Yes, but I am not interested in being anyone's token minority.

    Early on in the process he bragged about having bought politicians. Apparently he's good at buying the right ones.

    Oh great. Imagine what a man with such skills could do given direct control of government. Or look up pictures of Mizhygirya estate or alleged castles of various Russian civil servants.
