Rod Rosenstein, the acting FBI director, has appointed a former FBI director as special prosecutor to oversee the Trump/Russia probe.

Background On Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller

Just for fun, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-California) said — on tape, way back in 2016, before Trump/Russia was a thing — he thought that “Putin pays Trump.”

He, uh, now says he was just joshin'.

Trump whined at today's U.S. Coast Guard commencement ceremony that no politician has been more badly mistreated than he. (Harvey Milk might beg to differ.)

Would be funny if the investigation concluded the Russian ties were murky, but that Trump definitely obstructed justice.
