You could be forgiven for having a difficult time following all the players in the continuing saga that has engulfed Congressional committees, the president, the FBI, the NSA, Russia, the Clintons, former FBI Director Comey, WikiLeaks, the media, and who know how many others. The old baseball adage fits: “You can’t tell the players without a scorecard.”
Continuing the baseball metaphor, part of the problem is that it’s not entirely clear who is on whose team. Or for that matter, it’s not clear how many teams there are.
When one sits down to write a piece about this turmoil, one question that comes to mind is how much do potential readers already know, and how much time should be spent rehearsing information in an attempt to help clarify things rather than to obfuscate — something our politicians do well enough anyway.
So when we begin a piece with the assertion that Special Counsel Mueller might be accused of doing the very thing former FBI Director Comey accused President Trump of doing, do your eyes just glaze over, or is this all crystal clear to you?
We’ll try to straighten this out and clarify things for you, as well as hopefully explaining why this is important on page two.

Christopher Shocklee …prove it. All those ‘unnamed sources say’ from F**E news doesn’t prove a thing.
It went from 17 intelligence agencies to now supposedly 4 saying Russia TRIED to interfere.
So again I ask…Where is your proof?
Sandy,
I am trusting that the Congress and the Intelligence Community are being truthful with the American people when they all tell us that the involvement of the Russians in various hacking and disinformation campaigns during the election is proven beyond any reasonable doubt. I have not conducted an independent investigation of this matter so I must decide either to take our government agencies word for it that Russia was involved in these esoionage activities against the US. It is my understanding that the FBI, CIA, NSA and DOJ are the intelligence agencies that were involved in investigative activities and that other agencies as is their SOP adopted the conclusions of those lead agencies.
Wanda,
Do hou get a lot of your news from truthandaction.org?
Christopher Shocklee … your point is irrelevant you don’t need to catch Russia meddling in our election. You count on it. They’ve only been doing it 50 + years now.
The point is not Russia’s meddling. The point is whether the Trump Campaign cooperated with the Russians. Mueller has kept a lid on his investigation. No leaks over there. Who knows what he’s discovered.
This men he should recuse himself if they investigate him they going to find out so many bags in his shoulder
Christopher Shocklee , how long have u been such an UnAmerican Scumbag :(!?!?!?!? Lol
James Bray so correct you are!
6 fucking months to 8 years, give the guy time, but wait Congress has to get there one month paid vacation done first then we can get back to stall progress some more.
