So, imagine my shock, Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted twelve Russian intelligence officers on the eve of a summit between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

Despite his oh-so-earnest protestations to the contrary, Rod Rosenstein, of all people, knows there are no coincidences in politics.<\/p>\n

Trump is on a search and destroy mission all across Europe right now attacking the pillars of the post-WWII institutional order.<\/p>\n

While in Washington, Congress devolved into an episode of Jerry Springer during the Peter Strzok hearings yesterday.\u00a0 Both Strzok and Rosenstein have literally destroyed their credibility by stonewalling Congress over the investigations into Hillary Clinton\u2019s email server, which, conveniently Mueller now has enough information to take to the Grand Jury.<\/p>\n

In my mind, this is a level of panic and desperation unseen in the annals of Washington D.C. coverups. Both Strzok and Rosenstein know that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is completely compromised and can do nothing to stop them from obstructing investigations and turning our justice system into something worse than farce.

And why do I think this is a desperate move by Mueller?\u00a0 Because the indictments go out of their way to preclude any Americans having any involvement in these \u2018hacking events\u2019 at all.<\/p>\n

So, this does nothing at all to strengthen Mueller\u2019s investigation of Trump himself.\u00a0 It actually weakens his mandate as Special Counsel.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, it does a bang-up job of shifting the news cycle away from Trump\u2019s heavy-handed but effective steam-rolling Germany and the UK over NATO spending, energy policy and Brexit.<\/p>\n

Trump continues, in…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
