So, we have an A.G. on a taxpayer-funded world tour in support of Trump's conspiracy theories.

NEW: Trump reportedly called Boris Johnson the day after Zelensky, asking for help discrediting the Mueller Report—another hidden transcript. Also, Barr visited London and is said to have shared suspicions about UK intelligence.

But why on earth would the attorney general and a US atty be "investigating" this? The Mueller team and the FBI were both under the Dept of Justice, and in that case, doesn't an inspector general do the investigation? Or a special counsel?

Will there be any end to this?

The one thing that is clear to me is this is not a crime that happened three years ago. IT'S STILL HAPPENING. And what has allowed that is the earlier obstruction that kept Mueller from getting all the information. So the obstruction, the coverup, is allowing the Russian interference to continue right now.

The collusion is happening right now.

It does sound like the House is getting ramped up and sending out the subpoenas, and saying that refusal to comply could be another impeachment charge (I think this was one of the charges against Nixon... Contempt of Congress. And who helped right the memorandum on all that? A young staffer named Hillary Rodham.)

and using the power of his office to create a campaign smear job.

He might as well be drawing a salary from the campaign.
